commentates
Describes action live
Commentates is the third-person singular present tense of commentate, meaning to provide a running commentary on an event, especially a sports broadcast or other live happening.
The word is a back-formation from commentator: She commentates on football matches for the BBC.
Some consider it unnecessarily formed when "comment" would suffice, but it has become standard in broadcasting contexts.
