    Women's keirin second round

    But before Jason Kenny gets locked and loaded for round two of his match sprint prizefight, there is a run-off for the minor places in that category and the more serious business of the women's keirin second round.

    Great Britain's Becky James - 2013 world champion in the event - goes in the second race alongside Victoria Pendleton's old sparring partner Australian Anna Meares.

    Match sprint quarter-finals

    Callum Skinner hits the after-burners and roars past China's Xu Chao to move 1-0 up in their quarter-final.

    Lead from the front, come from behind, different tactics, but the result tends to be the same when it is a British rider.

    A big W.

    Nadal 7-5 4-6 Del Potro

    We're going the distance in the second men's semi-final, which can only mean one thing - ear-popping noise from the Argentine contingent in the crowd.

    It has been a fabulous match to watch, high quality, momentum changing this way and that. Del Potro has the more vocal fans today, but Nadal the more titles...

    The sun is slowly setting, most of the court is now covered in shade. Perfect conditions for what should be a thrilling deciding set.

    Men's qualifying

    It's heartbreak for Nathan Bailey, who won't be taking part in the men's trampolining final.

    A second- round score of 59.00 had him sitting in sixth with just four more gymnasts to go, but three of those duly posted higher scores to leave him one place and less than one point outside the top eight, who will return soon to decide the medals.

    Gut-punch.

    Cheers Steph,

    And what better way to start than a picture of British freestyle relay silver medallist James Guy and romantic-comedy titan Matthew McConaughey keeping a healthy degree of separation in a semi-naked semi-soggy selfie?

    None. That's what.
