12.26 New Zealand beat Kenya 19-7 and go through to the semi-finals.
12.23 Could there be a shock on at Ibrox? New Zealand are only 12-7 up
against Kenya with two minutes to… oh no New Zealand have scored again.
17-7 and they should be able to win easily enough from here. Whisper it, but
the All Blacks haven’t been at their best in these games.
12.19 In the women’s team table tennis event, Australia have taken
bronze with a nerve-wracking 3-2 win over India. We’ve also got an email,
courtesy of Graham Wilson.
Had to send tickets back for opening ceremony supposedly because of building
works. Promised upgraded seats. Took three hours on phone to find out what
was happening and had to queue an hour for replacement tickets. Tickets were
not upgraded they were poorer and our original seats appeared to have been
reallocated. Travelled to three venues and been misdirected every time to
buses and facilities.
11.59 We also have a result in the women’s marathon: Flomena Cheyech
Daniel of Kenya has won quite comfortably ahead of her compatriot Caroline
Kilel. Australia’s Jess Trengrove takes bronze.
11.58 Here’s England’s Adam Peaty in record-breaking action.
11.52 Right, Rob Bagchi has relieved me from cricket duty, so what have
we missed here?
- Scotland’s Derek Hawkins came in ninth place in the marathon, with England’s
Stephen Way – who seven years ago weighed 16 stone and smoked 20 cigarettes
a day- finished in a very impressive 10th.
– Northern Ireland have beaten Wales 20-12 in the men’s triples lawn bowls.
– Johnny Belis, the Manx cyclist, has withdrawn from the Games injured
– England’s women lead Malaysia 2-0 at half-time in the hockey
– Barbados’s heartwarming sevens campaign is coming to a close as they trail
the Cook Islands 31-7 with about 20 seconds left.
11.35 Hannah Miley gives the Scottish crowd more to cheer as she wins
her heat in the women’s 200m individual medley. England’s Siobhan O’Connor
also qualifies comfortably.
11.23 England’s Adam Peaty has followed up his gold medal in the 100
metres breaststroke with a Commonwealth Games record in the 50m event. The
19-year-old swam 27 seconds flat to beat world-record holder Cameron van der
Burgh by 0.39secs.
Scotland’s 200m gold medallist Ross Murdoch won his heat ahead of Australian
Christian Sprenger in 27.44. Fellow Scots Mark Tully and Joe Welstead were
also in the top seven while Welshman Rob Holderness, England’s James Wilby
and Michael Dawson of Northern Ireland all made tonight’s semi-finals.
Earlier, English pair Lizzie Simmonds and Lauren Quigley both qualified for
the 200m backstroke final.
Simmonds, who came fifth in the 100m final, was the second-fastest qualifier
behind Canada’s Hilary Caldwell, who swam 2:09.47, while British champion
Quigley was four seconds slower as she grabbed the final place in a race
that will include three Australians and three Canadians.
11.17 It’s marathon gold for Michael Shelley on the streets of Glasgow.
The Aussie missed out four years ago and had to settle for silver, but now
he raises his arms in delight and is crowned the Commonwealth Games
champion.
11.13 Scotland have won the bowls against England16-15. They’ve lost
their netball match though, 26-68 to Jamaica. Michael Shelley of Australia
has taken gold in the men’s marathon.
10.57 We’ve had an email from Ian Beaumont on last night’s
sevens match between England and Australia. I hate to admit this, but I was
actually in bed by then and haven’t even seen what the score was.
it was not a penalty, ie Tom Mitchell was never held, yet as game progressed
Australia allowed to replicate offences, repeat but no yellow cards
disgraceful!!
10.37 Result in the hockey: Scotland 0-9 Australia.
Meanwhile if cricket is your thing, why not join, er, me for the
liveblog of that? Yes folks, I’m doing both, although this one is
essentially going to get abandoned for an hour or so.
10.34 Gary Lineker is droll.
10.14 Without ceremony, let’s take a quick look at what’s happened in
the wee hours of this morning.
- Both the men’s and women’s marathons are underway – the former has been
since 9am, the latter since 9.30am. Aly Dixon of England leads the women’s
race.
– It’s Scotland 8-11 England in the men’s pairs lawn bowls
– Scotland are also behind in the hockey: 6-0 to Australia. Everyone will
probably be 6-0 down to Australia at some point.
