End 18 Malaysia have scored three 3's but the task is more difficult this time. Australia are in a strong position and hold one at the interchange.
It is all over. Australia win gold and Malaysia have silver.
End 17 Another scattered head and Kelsey draws one close with her last bowl. Auni gets a toucha and holds one at the change over. Siti draws one but just shifts the kitty as her bowl falls over in the wind. Karen's second bowl scoots between the shot bowl and the kitty. One and a measure but Malaysia only get one.
End 16 Siti drives with her last bowl and only removes one shot bowl. Australia score a one.
Update from other games NZ 12 SCO 19 -- RSA 17 WAL 12 after sixteen ends.
End 15 Full length and the wind is holding them back. Closest bowl is still a metre away until Kelsey draws within a foot of the kitty. Auni's last bowl is short and Kelsey draws a second with her last bowl. Siti's first bowl is so fine it tilts out the shot bowl.

Siti attempts a draw down the forehand but the wind keeps it out. There is only on lonesome bowl near the kitty. Siti's last bowl is a firm drive but misses the shot. Bonus time for Australia and Karen darws another shot.
End 4 Malaysia still to score. Another longish end. Both leads are trying to get their bowls to drift into the head but the wind pushes them through. Malaysia holds one at the change over.

End 2 Wind behind the players this time. Malaysia holds one at the change over. This is a rough head. Nothing close yet. Players are struggling with the windy conditions. Last bowl for each skip and still no change after Karen's bowl. Now Siti has the bowl in her hand. Forehand draw and measure comes out resulting in one to Australia.
End 1 Full length end. 2m to 2m. Australia hold one at this point. One the the aussies.
Trial ends are almost over. Very windy and hot. Wind directly behind the players for one end and head wind going back. Should be a good challenge.
