BBC Two: Day 9: 18:00 - 19:00 Commonwealth Games

Hello again. The cast list is completed tonight, with the

appearance at long last of Usain Bolt and Shelly Ann Fraser Price.

Between them, they hold eight Olympic titles, and 13 world

titles. But they have never run at a common love games. They are expected

to turn out in the sprint relay heats. There are seven finals in

total. Let's remind you of the timetable tonight in the track and

field. Well, last night we saw the sprint

double from Blessing Okagbare. We mentioned that she is the fourth

woman to complete that double. Boyle of Australia did it twice. Then

there was Merlin Ottey of Jamaica, and there was also Debbie Ferguson

of the Bahamas. So, she has joined a very select group. You can squirrel

that one away for the pub quiz! Now, we are heading to Hampden. 500 Miles

has been ringing out there, but Gabby, I think it will be the Kenyan

national anthem tonight? Yes, and as you have pointed out, there are

plenty of opportunities for Kenyan gold. A total of four, I think. It

could be their night tonight, with the steeplechase, the 10k, the 800m,

and the javelin. But we also have some 1500 heats coming up. And, as

you mentioned, the relay. That means, of course, Usain Bolt, making

his first appearance, which is why the sun has come out, obviously.

Denise Lewis, Paula Radcliffe and Michael Johnson are with me. How

dare the sun not come out when Usain Bolt comes to town? We have survived

all week without him, but it will be good to see him on the track

tonight, and Hampden is sold out, so no difference there, but I think it

will be pretty special? Yes, absolutely. I think it will be

interesting. Because this little thing which has been going around

about him saying not so positive things about the Commonwealth

Games, and Glasgow in particular, I am not sure about that. But the

story was huge, so it will be interesting to see what the reaction

will be here. I think he might have been talking about the weather. This

is probably the warmest evening we have had so far, the knees, which is

just as well for the hurdlers. The women's hurdles is the very last

event, late in the evening. It is a long day, if you have woken up early

in the morning. Absolutely, you have to decide when to take breakfast,

when to take lunch, sorting out your appetite, when to start your warm

up. It is a long old data be sitting around, keeping busy, not too busy,

but busy enough that you do not feel fatigued by the time you get to the

track. It is about endurance and distance, if are you excited, when

you look at it and there is a lot of distance running tonight? Yes, I am

nervous as well. I am nervous for the girls in the 800, as I think

they have got a strong chance of coming through for a medal. But they

have to run it right. We saw last night Lynsey Sharp struggling a

little bit, but she kept going to the line, earning her place as a

fastest loser, which was the smart thing to do last night. Hopefully

she will have seen the reception that a lead child got last night,

and hopefully they will get right behind her tonight. The first event

on the track is the men's 1500m heats. In the first one, we have got

Chris O'Hare of Scotland, and Nick Willis, the New Zealand athlete. So,

it is a strong field, this first hit. Yes, it is. The heats are

supposed to be evenly balanced, but to me, the first one looks tough. In

the second heat, we have got a really exciting young 18-year-old,

who finished third in Monaco. Let's get down to the commentary, and

Steve Cram. STEVE CRAM: Chris O'Hare is

competing for Scotland, and Jake Wightman, a great welcome for him as

well. Two Englishmen, Richard Peters being one of them. This is James

Magut, who won the silver medal last time. The Kenyans had some

interesting selection questions to deal with. So, Magut will be a

threat. Nick Willis, Olympic silver medallist at this distance, and the

former Commonwealth champion - that was in Melbourne in 2006. He ran the

5000 earlier in the week, I am not sure if that was a wise move on his

behalf. The Tanzania athlete, and it was

1974 when his compatriot won the gold medal and broke the world

record, and a certain Brendan Foster was in that race. This Ugandan could

be a threat. Well, we did not see Jake Wightman introduced. Young Jake

has had a bit of a troubled time. He ran brilliantly here in the Diamond

League. His dad is the announcer here in the stadium. Is mum and dad

both competed in the Commonwealth Games. What a moment for Jake

Wightman. Heat 1 of the men's 1500m. Top four to go through, plus four

fastest losers. Jake picked up a hamstring injury a couple of days

after running that race. Let's hope all is good for him.

BRENDAN FOSTER: Robertson of New Zealand very sensibly takes up the

pace. They were dawdling, and he has decided to take it on, after his

really good performance in the 5,000m, where he won the bronze

medal. That gives him an extra chance to qualify as a fastest

loser. He needs to keep the pressure on, to increase his own chances. I

was impressed with the way the New Zealand around about 5,000m. In

there with his twin brother, who have both settled down to live in

Kenya, and they are both reaping the benefits of training there. Pretty

solid first 400m. There is Jake Wightman. Just moving through

nicely, following Lee Emanuel through. Lee Emanuel deciding, this

is a good pace, let's not let it drop. The field is reasonably well

strung out. James Magut, the Kenyan, is sitting behind Jake Wightman.

Behind him, Nick Willis. The Soho, happy to stay towards the back, as

is Richard Peters. The one man I have not really mentioned, Jeff

Riseley, in the green and gold of Australia, who ran really well in

the 800m last night. He did, he finished fifth in the 800m final

last night. And there is Chris O'Hare, who has decided that he is

going to follow the experienced Nick Willis. Commonwealth champion,

Olympic silver medallist. On the inside, young Jake Wightman, whose

father is doing the announcing in the stadium. Robertson once again

decides he is going to do it. And there is Chris O'Hare. Tracking him

every step of the way. The Malawian athlete had a little dart at the

front, and as I say that coming he goes backwards through the pack. The

two New Zealanders working together. Chris O'Hare, perfectly placed. Jake

Wightman, ready to strike. The dangerous Kenyan James Magut on the

outside. But it is the two New Zealanders in the front, as they had

the bell. The famous black vest of New Zealand in one and two. It is

good to see. I love it, because my athletic history was up against the

Black Forest of the New Zealanders. There is going to be an almighty

burn up here. It is all about positioning, it is all about

acceleration. Chris O'Hare ran a personal best here the other night

in the Diamond League. Coming through on the inside. You will hear

the roar as he comes alongside Nick Willis. Very comfortable. Nick

Willis at the front. Chris O'Hare in a good position. Magut is there. The

Tanzania and is there. The others are really scrapping for places.

Jeff Riseley trying to get in on the act. Jeff Riseley just gets in to

the top four. A fist in the air for Chris O'Hare. A well executed race,

controlled by Willis. As expected, he will be a big threat for the

medals. Chris O'Hare can be really pleased with the way he negotiated

his way through that. Always going to be hard. Given that winning

time, there will be chances. The next heat will no that they can go

quicker. But it is not always easy to do. It was always going to be

hard work, but didn't he do it well, Chris O'Hare, Brendan? He did very

well indeed. Robertson on the inside, the 5,000m one, the two of

them making it difficult for the others. Chris O'Hare has chosen that

you'll, he has decided to go on the outside, and he was very aggressive.

At this point, look at the 800m runner from Australia, Riesling. But

there is Nick Willis, in the controlling position. He looks

impressive. The 5,000m he ran the other day, clearly having no effect

today at least. We will see if it catches up with him tomorrow. Jeff

Riseley in coming from a long way back. Nick Willis, perfectly in

control. The four of them, you will need a photo finish, but it does not

matter, that is the four qualifiers. Nick Willis, fully aware of what is

going on around him. A real stretch on the inside from Chris O'Hare.

Coming down the outside is Riseley. That was a good qualification, easy

by Nick Willis. Let's go down to Phil Jones. Both

guys alongside me now. But of the Scottish athletes, who did admirably

in that race, especially you, Chris, getting through. We saw you

do it in the World Championships last year, and here you are again.

Yes, we went through in 61, whatever it was, I knew it was going to be a

case of me having to be in the top four. Did not feel all that great at

the bell, but I have not waste since Glasgow here. I was a little bit

blunt, but... I was happy with that. I cannot complain. Jake, I

know this was a special moment for you, your dad is announcing, your

mum and dad competed at the Commonwealths, you did not have

ideal preparation, after that splendid personal best? Yes, it has

been a pretty horrible couple of weeks, but a big thank you to the

Scottish physios in the village, who did well to get me here. Sorry I

could not do better. You gave it your best, as for the final, Chris,

your hopes? I will think about that tonight. Today, this was a final for

me, just to get through. I knew it would not be easy. Had to work hard.

I am having fun. Enjoy it. STEVE CRAM: Well, a really good

performance from Chris O'Hare. Jake Wightman gave it his best. But that

time, with only four fastest losers, the other heats will know that they

will have a good chance. But we will see. Richard Peters is definitely

out, as is Lee Emanuel, and Daniel Mooney, from Northern Ireland.

well, women's high jump final underway. Look out for Pooley of

England and Nisbet of Scotland. Good conditions here this evening

for height. Starting to get to the sort of height which might thin out

the field. But Spencer of St Lucia, the 30-year-old bronze medallist in

Delhi, making light work of 1.82. First attempt.

Isobel Pooley, her first attempt at the same height. Well done, clean

start therefore Pooley. The UK champion from a month or so ago.

Clear at 1.82. Now, can Nisbet of Scotland also go

clear? Just clicked it off with the heels,

looks to be over. Just the final wriggling over, the beach just

clipped it off, but she will have two more attempts.

Your thoughts on that first 1500 metres race?

It was a good run by Chris O'Hare, he realised he would have to make

sure he was in the first four to guarantee that the second heat

wouldn't go faster, but he looked smooth, I think it's good to going

to be dangerous. I think Jake gave it his best shot, he has struggled

with a hamstring injury since he did that phenomenal PB in the Diamond

League, and he is still in there with a chance. The guys had to go

out there and run faster in the second heat. One man who is only 18

years old and can run fast, Kwemoi of Kenya, if he decides to take it

on, this could be very tricky. He is a raw talent, I doubt he will go to

the front and take it on but you never know, he is still a junior. He

still, in essence, learning, especially about championship races

but he really did impress in that race in Monaco, finishing third

behind Kip Lagat. Nothing is guaranteed, you have to go out there

and race it as a final, but heating good shape, run another personal

best in Glasgow a couple of weeks ago. -- he is in good shape. David

Bishop of Scotland as well, we have the Welsh athlete as well in this

one, so more home interest to look at as well. Another 13 athletes

here, four guaranteed to go through and the four fastest losers, we have

Chris Bell of Wales. Charlie just needs to go out, keep his head, keep

an eye on that clock, you have an advantage in the second heat, you

know the times you are aiming for as fastest losers, so you have a better

chance. There does seem to be a good crop of early 20s male distance

runners coming through. It's nice to see, it was this year, coming into

the Glasgow Diamond League, we were struggling. We had more for the

Commonwealth Games but we didn't have that crop of guys around 3.35

that we now have. Could be a big championship for a few of them.

Taking the important step towards global competition as well. Let's

see how they all do, home interest. A warm welcome from Hampton. He was

a little bit disappointing in the Diamond League a couple of weeks

ago. Gregson, the Australian record-holder from New South Wales.

But really, all eyes in terms of international stars will be on

Ronald Kwemoi. The South African, bronze medallist in the World

Championships behind Kiprop. Chris Cowell, based in the US now, in

Texas for much of the year. And there is the 18-year-old,

extraordinary talent. Youngest man in the race, possibly favourite for

gold, but championship races can become tactical and we don't know

how he might handle that. Julian Matthews, second in the New Zealand

Championships. But also, a lot of athletes in the second heat will

feel encouraged by the lack of pace in the first, because four of the

fastest losers go through and it wasn't blisteringly quick. Four go

through automatically. Charlie Grice will certainly fancy his chances.

Glorious evening now at Hampden Park. The second first-round heat of

the men's 200 metres. -- 1500 metres. We were talking about how

well Kwemoi has been doing in his first big races in Europe. He was

third in the Monica Diamond League race, he ran a world junior record

behind Asbel Kiprop and Kip Lagat. Just a few questions perhaps more

than it gets down to the serious business in the final and things

become tactical, how will the handle that?

The two Kenyans look as if they are off for a training run. They only

have to run about 3.42 to qualify as a fast loser so they are giving this

field the opportunity. It should be a bit quicker than the first round.

Interesting characters here, Gregson, settling down there. The

crowd have been really responding to David Bishop when he was introduced.

This now famous athletics stadium, Hampden Park. A second and a half

quicker, bouncing along at an nice pace. Charlie Grice settling down in

the middle there and David Bishop in fourth place at the moment. The two

Kenyans, out in front, staying out of any trouble. Gregson just decides

to get himself in a better position round the outside but they are

moving at a strike a strike the brisker pace than the first heat.

It's great when you look at the qualifying times and you see the

Kenyans, setting a reasonably good pace. It means the other athletes

artist following them, looking at the lap times, keeping an eye on it

and knowing that they are already running faster than the first heat.

David Bishop there, in a good position. Charlie Grice, right in

the middle of that pack. This is the time in the race where you need to

sort out your position. The four fastest losers could come from this

heat. A few are just link for space here. -- just link.

The Kenyans, so strong, and this is their rising star, Kwemoi. He has

impressed everyone on the circuit. This is the first time we have seen

him in a major championship, going down the back straight on the

shoulder of Cronje, and Charlie Grice running impressively as well,

giving themselves every chance. Now they are starting to accelerate.

Kwemoi looking round and saying, this is what I have. Charlie Grice

looking comfortable at the moment. It's a slightly quicker race.

Gillian Matthews, the New Zealander is there as well. The other Kenyan,

Manangoi, is struggling. The New Zealander, trying to get the fourth

automatic place and he might get there. A good run from the Welshman

down the home straight. Brisker pace than the first heat. I think it was

a tight finish on the line, I think Gowell of Wales, even if he didn't

make fourth, he will go through as a fastest loser, that was an

impressive performance. Look how pleased he is. The Welsh vest there.

He was only a semifinalist in Delhi in the 800 four years ago. He had a

lot to do. An awful lot to do, coming right from the back. Look at

Kwemoi, look at that acceleration. Tell you what, the rest of them will

have to contend with this man in the final. Grice running well in the

white vest of England. Here comes Gowell on the outside. Matthews of

New Zealand, working hard. The other Kenyan is out of it, but Kwemoi,

Grice, Matthews, Gowell they will go through. I think that Gowell was

fourth side Matthews will go through as a fastest loser, Gregson under

pressure. The young man from Kenya has obviously learnt his skills,

coming here to fully develop them. Cronje, in a good place, but I was

also impressed with Grice, he didn't do anything wrong. He has a good

future ahead of him. Very good from Gowell, he deserved that. That was a

good performance. A big full house here for a busy

evening of athletics. Easy on the infield, we're looking down on the

high jump. Basking in the sunshine. This is a look back at the previous

height. The third attempt for this bit. -- Nisbet.

Maybe it wasn't as good as her first attempt. She has jumped one

centimetre higher this year. 1.83, her best. Unfortunately, that is the

end of her Commonwealth Games. Always tough, taking that on the

chin. She did OK, she came very close to completing at the very

highest level, 1.82, when your PB is one foot 83. She will reflect

something that nearly was, but not quite enough tonight.

Getting off to the best possible start. First-time clearances are

crucial. It means that you will do well on count back.

Beyond the high jump, the large disk as cage, another field event, --

discus cage. Here is the start list for the 12 contenders.

Watch out for Dani Samuels, who looked absolutely incredible in the

qualification. Hakeai, first attempt in the discus. A dry evening. And

after last night, the throwers will be happy about that. Perfect

conditions for discus. Maybe leaning into it a bit too much, for me. If

we are getting into discus technique, might want to stand a bit

That takes the lead. Now, then, Jade Lally, opening her account.

Shaftesbury And Barnet Harriers. Sixth in the last Commonwealth

Games. And that was a hell of a flight. Not a phrase we would

normally use, but it was good hanging time! Good airtime. Good

technique from Jade. Her coach will be happy with that I think. Held her

form through the throwing position. Thumbs up. Second place at the

moment. ANDREW COTTER: Confirmation of the

results from the second heat of the men's 1500m. Ronald Kwemoi looking

mighty impressive. And it was a great run from the Welshman Chris

Gowell to go through automatically. Harvey Dixon, a national record for

Gibraltar. STEVE CRAM: Yes, it meant that the

fifth and sixth runners in both heats were the ones who went

through. Unfortunately, Jake Wightman, not going through. So,

this is how they will line up in the final. Nick Willis looked really

good in qualification, he looks ready for this. Jeff Riseley making

it through to another final. Magut, Chris O'Hare for Scotland, what a

reception he will get. A really intriguing final. A new 18-year-old

favourite, but does he have what it takes to take the gold medal?

We can go and get some news from Hazel. When we come back, it will be

the heats for the women's 4x400m relay. We can bring you pictures

from the medal ceremonies over it in the Hydro. The high bar was won by

18-year-old Leeds youngster Nile Wilson. It was his second gold of

the Games, because he was a key member of the England team squad as

well. They shared the same overall score, but he was given the gold

because of higher execution marks. Nile Wilson, on Yorkshire Day, you

are the Commonwealth champion again, how does that feel? To finish like

that, it was the icing on the cake, it was amazing. I came here today, I

had done amazing this week, all of my routines, I hit all of them, and

I tried to do the same today, and I did. To finish with the gold medal,

it is unbelievable. Not for the first time today, it was an

agonising wait. What was it like watching everybody else? Yes, it was

a bit of a weight. But I was just happy with how I performed. The

scores were great. I was not too fussed, just to get the gold medal,

it is an absolute bonus. I cannot believe I did it. We saw your dad

when you got on the all-round podium, taking off his shirt and

whipping it around his head - how do you think he will celebrate

tonight? Probably worse than that. But at least he did not take his top

off today. But I am sure it will be great celebrations all weekend.

Congratulations, well deserved. Christian, it does not get much

tighter than that, but congratulations anyway. Thank you

very much. Yes, it was a great high bar final. Absolutely fantastic to

be part of the competition. At least I lost it to an English team-mate.

It was great to be up there, part of it. Really looking forward to future

competitions. And three medals for you, 19 medals in total 14 England

in the gymnastics - did you imagine such a thing? Not at all. The girls

did fantastic. The men did fantastic as well. Just getting gold and

silver in the high bar final, it brought everything to closure, to

round off a great week of gymnastics, especially for British

gymnastics. Just a word on this guy, what a way to step up from junior to

senior, what has it been like having him in the camp? He is Albrighton! I

have been sharing a with him all week. His first senior competition,

to step in, and to do it the way he has done, collecting medal after

medal, clean routine after clean routine, I take my hat off to him.

One for the future, for definite. Present and future, both of you,

congratulations. Yes, a sack full of medals for those

boys. Some less happy news for you now. Teenage weightlifter Chica, and

is facing a doping ban, and has been stripped of her gold medal. She is

16, she claims the title in the women's 53 kilograms category. She

tested positive is for diuretics and masking agents. She did not contest

the findings, and the gold medal will now be awarded to the athlete

from Papua New Guinea. I am going to pass the baton back to Gaby now.

The 4x400m, traditionally, the baton gets around a bit easier than the

4x100m would you say, Denise Lewis? Yes, there is a bit more grace, I

guess, they are a bit more cautious. Obviously, the incoming runners know

exactly where their team-mate is going to be. So it is usually

civilised, it is usually the men, wouldn't we say, Michael, who tend

to be a bit more ragged? The difference is, the 4x400m metres,

you can actually see the incoming runner. In the 4x100m it is a blind

handover, so it is much more difficult, and of course, it is

faster. As you would expect, a fabulous reception for Scotland.

Andrew Cotter is your commentator. It is a team without Eilidh Child,

who has decided not to run in this relay. I think she said she wanted

another athletes to have the chance to experience this stadium in these

Commonwealth Games. Qualification should be comfortable for the

Jamaican team, led off by Christine Day, the bronze medallist in the

individual. Australia, a pretty strong quartet as well.

And Trinidad Tobago, that is a fairly strong quartet as well. Three

go through automatically. Uganda not starting in this one. So it is three

from six. And then should the fastest qualifiers. It is a full

hand in part for this one. Working forward to seeing the Scottish

quartet, in particular. -- a full Hampden Park. To see it they can get

into the top three automatic qualifiers. But it may be a bit of a

battle for them. As we mentioned, Jamaica, Australia and Trinidad

Tobago, all of them strong teams. Away they go. Kirsten McAslan, from

sale Harriers. There is some youth in this Scottish quartet as well.

Kirsten, just 20. And there is some promise in Scottish 400 metre

running for the future. But they are running in an environment which they

have not experienced before. Looking pretty strong at the moment,

however. The elongated stager of the 4x400m metres, difficult to tell

exactly where people are at this stage.

STEVE CRAM: Christine Day, a class act. Let's not forget that Jamaica,

we had the first ever world relay championships, and Jamaica were only

beaten by the United States, so let's forget them. Australia, good

team. Now, Scotland will have to really scrap to try and get third

spot. Lee McConnell is sitting in front of me, in the commentary

positions. I am sure she would love to be out there! No Eilidh Child, of

course. But they have to get in the top three. I think they have got a

chance. So far, so good. They have got to stay in the race. Jamaica,

well out in front, as we expected. ANDREW COTTER: It may well be a

fierce battle behind. Australia looking strong as well. For Scotland

now, it will be Gemma Nicol, taking over from Diane Ramsay. She will

feel the support of the crowd. Just in behind the Trinidad Tobago

quartet. Gemma Nicol, just beginning to make a bit of a move. Sitting on

the shoulder of the athlete behind, from Trinidad Tobago. But those

two are both gaining on the Australian.

Gemma Nicol first came to the Commonwealth Games in Manchester in

2002, as a precocious teenager. What an opportunity for her here. What's

to say strong in the home straight. She will be handing to 19-year-olds

Zoey Clark. She has got huge responsibility here. Gemma Nicol has

done fantastically well. And the 19-year-old, being cheered on by

this crowd. She goes off like a rocket, past the Australian, but she

does not want to burn out to early. Jamaica are going to win this, with

Williams well out in front. Zoey Clark, a little bit of adrenaline,

and the noise of the crowd, carried her off so fast. The Australian

behind her. Three go through automatically. The athlete from

Trinidad Tobago will be hunting down Zoey Clark. Zoey Clark perhaps

paying for that early explosion of pace. Zoey Clark holding on for a

moment, but now she has been overtaken. Scotland in fourth. They

will have to play the waiting game. Zoey Clark, her face, a picture of

pain and despair. Not out of it yet.

What a shame. Zoey Clark, she knows, of course, she is nervous, the crowd

were roaring, they were going crazy. She really attacked it hard, but

just too much. And she was running through treacle in the last 30-40

metres. At least she kept going, and can hope for a fastest loser spot.

Jamaica were always going to be out there, it was always going to be a

scrap between the rest. Gemma Nicol ran a 52.7 third leg, within the

19-year-old a chance. But that first 150 metres, yes, you want to get out

of there, but really, you are burning up all your energy, and then

it is really a case of survival almost from 200m out. The Australian

girl comes past her, and then you start to worry. And then you are

thinking, oh, no, here it comes. Zoey Clark does not give it up

easily. She is trying to hang onto that third spot. But all she can do

is hope that Scotland can get one of the two fastest losers spots.

tremendous atmosphere, that must have inspired you. It was amazing, I

was ready for the Hampden roar, it spurred me on at the start. The

atmosphere pushed us on. You got the team furthermore in contention, what

were your thoughts? I was trying to focus and not listen to the crowd,

being out in lane seven made it even more noisy! You had a tremendous

third leg. Yes, it was quite hard! She kicked out so I just tucked in

and waited for my time and try to get a coming down the home straight,

it was tough. As you took the battle, you went off fast, do you

think he went off to fast? Maybe a little bit. I kind of ran out a bit

of steam towards the end. But hopefully the time will bring us

through. You are still in the mix you want to experience this again.

Yes, we have Eilidh Child to come in, so the team will be stronger, we

have six in the team with Lindsay Sharp as well, so we will have to

wait and see. Hopefully we will come back tomorrow, will be determined.

We wish you all well. They may, may still get through.

They really were labouring down the home straight after going out so

fast. Use even sometimes in the relay, just sitting on the shoulder,

but the excitement and adrenaline... They may still go through, to the

fastest losers go through over the heats, but there are some good wins

in the next heat as well. Jamaica, while out in front, they will be

strong favourites. -- way out. The first round for the Australian I

mentioned in the line-up, Samuels, dominant in qualification, she threw

over 64 metres, in the rain! What can she do in the sunshine? Just

collapsed on that a little. Didn't quite hold her base. It's beyond the

60 metres which may be out of the reach of the rest of the field,

that's how good she is. Great shots there of the kind of strain going

through the upper body is the one K discus... Just waiting for the

distance. Does take the lead. Jade Lally, she was clean with the

flight of the discus in the first round, got close to her season 's

best, can she push on? This looks good! It looks like it is bang on

the 60 metre line. And Jade Lally, with a season 's best of 58 metres,

looks that she has extended that. She threw over 60 metres three years

ago. She was in second place in the first round, she is still there, but

a season 's best now. Scotland will be watching England in

this second semifinal. Emily Diamond will be leading the team offer. --

offer. Christine Ohuruogu will hopefully bring it home for England.

Just to remind you, top three go through, it's a real mix, the

Bahamas, a bit of experience, one or two youngsters as well. Nigeria,

with the likes of Regina George, that is a good team, there are four

good teams in this. Nigeria, Bahamas, Canada and England. This

four times 400 metres qualification, with the top three and two fastest

losers, the seeding may be did Scotland a bit of a favour but they

took a risk with Eilidh Child and that is fair to her after all the

excitement last night, she said she wanted to give the other team

members chance to experience the atmosphere. Let's concentrate on the

clock as much as the top three here. Always difficult on the first leg in

Ray -- relays. It only unwinds after three bends for the team. Sometimes

it can be a little bit disconcerting if you're not used to it. Emily

Diamond having to do a good job here, and England have a strong

team, they can run fairly conservatively, I think Christina

Ohuruogu will be happy if they hadn't heard the pattern with a 15

metre lead but Emily Diamond, performing well here. New Zealand is

just starting to come back into this. But England take the lead.

Looking fairly comfortable. Cox takes it on. Round the bend they

will finally break. Henfield on the second leg for the Bahamas. The

Canadians on the second leg, just acting head of the Bahamas and the

Nigerians, you suspect they would have a strong enough team, trying to

make up enough ground on the Bahamas to give rich -- Regina George

chance. These are the four teams, the scrap the second, third and

fourth will push the teams on. England have the luxury, and a real

scrap now for second, third and fourth. Canada, Nigeria, Bahamas.

Regina George will run well for Nigeria, I am sure. She is moving up

alongside the Canadian. This battle for second, third and fourth is not

go well for Scotland because the pace will be quick. A good run by

the Nigerian, George, she is even beginning to close on England but

Christine Ohuruogu is awaiting for the final leg, and England will be

safely through. Canada and the Bahamas just beginning to lose

ground. That is where we have to keep our eyes. Scotland were fourth,

and their were two fastest loser spots available. We have a Scottish

team presenting their nation in this relay tomorrow, it would be great.

England, Nigeria and then the scrap behind them. It really doesn't

matter in qualification that having a good run out here is something

that Christine will want. She said she wanted to come here and run but

she has been struggling individually with her form and when you are not

in the best of shape, a lot of responsibility is on her shoulders.

She extends her little bit to the delight of the crowd here,

stretching away for England. Nigeria will finish in second, then it will

be Canada and the Bahamas, just watching the clock for the first

team. -- fifth team. I am sitting here thinking they were safe and all

of a sudden out of nowhere, a big last leg, has it put paid to

Scotland? No problem for England, absolutely safe roof. The times are

coming up. The time to watch for is Scotland, 3.33.91. If the fifth team

are faster than that, they are eliminated. Scotland were fourth in

the first semifinal. The Bahamas will go through.

No, is the answer to that. What a shame, it was that final leg for

Scotland. The noise, we are sitting here, the noise you can hear, the

adrenaline must be pumping through. Yes, and that is what at a young

age, with inexperience, it's hard to handle that. She overcooked it a

little bit too much. She went off too hard, basically and too much

lactic acid at the end. It's not a really strong team, it's a young

team, and I don't know that she necessarily made a mistake, I can

she gave her best, but that Best was never going to be good enough for

this group and they were in the tougher semifinal. They gave it

their best, bodes well, it was good on Eilidh Child to allow them to

have that opportunity. The men coming up very soon. We have a great

agenda this evening of distance racing, the women's eight metres

final, the men's 10,000 metres and the steeplechase all to come will

Claudia Fragapane has become the first Englishwoman in 84 years to

win four golds at a single games after claiming the title on floor.

And plenty of success, not just for Claudia but for Dan Purvis,

snatching the gold from the grasp of England's Nile Wilson, who got a

gold of his own. It was Scotland's second gold medal in two days.

England and Scotland finished with 11 out of the 14 gymnastics gold is

on offer, remarkable stuff. Plenty more going on, at Kelvingrove, you

have the bowls final, the men's singles there, and you have Darren

Burnett of Scotland taking on the Canadians. Plenty of boxing as well.

Five have come through to the finals tomorrow, 13 more will be going this

evening, you can see that shortly on ABC three. Kerry is up next. The sun

is shining at Hampden and shining on Usain Bolt.
