    Men's 20km walk

    Tom Bosworth, I'm afraid, has been caught. Not only that, but there was some argy-bargy as the walkers went round a hairpin. If I had to describe the walking, I would call it viscous and wiggly.

    Britons shock Korean third seedspublished at 19:24

    Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge

    What a win for Britain's Chris Langridge and Marcus Ellis.

    They have beaten Korean third seeds Kim Gi Jung and Kim Sa Rang 17-21 25-23 21-18.

    That's their second match of the event, following defeat earlier, and it brings them right back into contention for a quarter-final place.

    That's not the only good news for Britain either...

    Team dressage

    If a medal from Bosworth would be unexpected, one from the dressage team certainly would not - Great Britain are aiming to retain the title they won in London.

    The British quartet for Rio is made up of Spencer Wilton, Fiona Bigwood, Carl Hester and Charlotte Dijardin and they are lying in second at the moment, behind 2014 world champions Germany.

    Bigwood, riding Orthilla, has just been in action and she collected a score of 74.384, with Carl Hester and Charlotte Dujardin still to come.

    Men's 20k walk final

    We've reached the halfway stage of the men's walking final and Briton Tom Bosworth, who has never finished in the top 10 in an international event, has a sizable lead at the front, passing the 10k mark in 40 minutes and 10 seconds.

    Defending champion Chen Ding is really feeling the pressure as well, grimacing as he struggles along behind the main pack.

    Bosworth has been yellow-carded, mind...

    So no medal for Amber Hill, but, around Rio, there are two other prospects for Great Britain...

    For the first time today Amber Hill allowed her focus to go as she glanced over her shoulder at her family when the shot from Meng Wei confirmed there would be no medal.

    Italians here are rejoicing, some arms aloft among the crowd as an all-Italy gold medal match is confirmed. Diana Bacosi is crying, not the reaction you'd expect as she's in the final.

    Still, no British woman has ever won an Olympic medal. Italy will pocket two from this event alone.

    Ah. That's it. Meng Wei of China takes her final four targets, meaning Hill can finish no higher than fifth. The 18-year-old must wait for Tokyo for her Olympic medal. It will be an all-Italian final.

    It's rare this week but the shooting range in Deodoro is packed for this final.

    Amber Hill - just 18 years of age remember - is a little slow off the mark and with just four shots left sits last of the six shooters.

    At this stage, sneaking fourth looks her only hope. Such a result would see her in a bronze medal match.

    Finally! For the second time in two days Andy Murray comes through a final set, keeping the defence of his Olympic crown alive. Murray sees off Steve Johnson and is one match away from another Olympic medal. He will meet either Gael Monfils or Kei Nishikori.
