Superb work from Mike Henson, Stephan Shemilt here with you for the next few hours.

"What's coming up?" I hear both of you ask. I'll tell you...

Watch out Japan.

Great Britain are rolling and have some considerable momentum.

They dismiss Kenya with plenty to spare. Japan are next in their sights. That kicks off at 21:00 BST.

William Fox-Pitt out on Chilli Morning now, rounding off what is undoubtedly an exceptional Olympics, considering he only returned to eventing in April after being placed into an induced coma a serious head injury last October.

Of course, he was leading the field after dressage, but slipped to 21st after a troublesome cross country.

And that is brilliant, another faultless round from a British team member, only four penalties jointly between the team. 

What a shame it all went wrong on Monday.

Dan Norton, Phil Burgess and Daniel Bibbey are the try-scorers as Great Britain roar off the startline and into a 17-0 lead over Kenya.

Make that 24-0 as Scotland international Mark Bennett motors in under the posts in the last action of the first half.

Pippa Funnell, the third of the Great Britain contingent, has also got round the show jumping circuit without accruing a penalty. 

Too little too late of course. If, and when, the British team do miss out on a medal, it will be their first failure since Atlanta 1996.

Cordina just did not do enough, his movement was excellent, he made his opponent miss time and again but failed to score with the twos and three, he could get single shots in. I think he could have won that contest.

South Africa have seen off Spain 24-0 at the Deodoro. 

That clears the way for Great Britain's men to make their sevens bow. They are going to take on Kenya.

Kenya are no slouches either. They finished above England, Wales and Scotland in the World Sevens series this year.

Adrian M Gill: Hardlines Joe Cordina not quite enough work on the inside for me!   

TopTrevor: Joe Cordina boxed well off the back foot but didn't land with accuracy/regularity.

Dopy Dinoz: Don't know much about boxing but Cordina was just standing there waiting to be attacked

Anicka van Emden of Netherlands has ended Briton Alice Schlesinger's judo campaign, a close bout, but Sclesinger goes down by the thinnest margin.

"It's too close for comfort here for Joe Cordina. He has got to hit the target more often and just occasionally start pushing the opponent back. He has to show the judges you can box on that front foot also". 

Britain's hopes of a medal in the eventing competition are distant, at best, after a poor day of cross country on Monday, but they have made a good start to the decisive show-jumping round. Kitty King on Ceylor LAN and Gemma Tattersall aboard Quicklook accrued just four time penalties between them.

The medals look like coming down to a battle between Australia, New Zealand, Germany and France.

Geraint Thomas has been handed a time-trial slot in the aftermath of a messy road race on Saturday.

Good news for the 30-year-old who delayed his holidays on the off-chance. He and Chris Froome will ride for Great Britain.

Welshman Joe Cordina is under way in the round of 16 in the men's lightweight boxing event.

He's up against the dangerous Horshid Tojibaev of Uzbekistan.

Remember, Cordina is the reigning European champion after winning gold in Samokov, Bulgaria last year.

Women's team final (20:00 BST)

"TEAM FINAL DAY!

Grateful for this opportunity today, ready to bring out our Lion hearts tonight"

So Kat Copeland cannot defend her Olympic title, alongside new partner Charlotte Taylor in the lightweight women's double sculls. They miss out on a chance to make the main final, but you cannot say it was unexpected after a poor season. 

.Cheers from the British fans as they row back past them, but they don't look up and cannot hide their disappointment. 

Looking on the bright side, GB have half of their 12 crews into finals and there are plenty more chances to come

This is the brutal truth.

Four years after London 2012 gold, Kat Copeland's campaign to defend her title end in an ignominous third place finish in the repechage.
