    Adam Peaty was once so dominant that he and his coach had to come up with projects where he was racing the clock.

    Before Tokyo all the talk was about 'project 56' [beating the 56 seconds mark in this event]. It was a case of we know we are going to win so let's push the boundary.

    Now he is racing people. This is the first time in a decade he is probably concerned about the people he is coming up against.

    I never took the opportunity to go to a third Olympics because it was so, so difficult.

    I just want people to appreciate the fact that Adam Peaty is a legend - no matter if he gets a gold, silver, bronze or no medal tonight!

    What he has achieved in the sport is just amazing. He has literally changed breaststroke, he has changed history.

    I just want him to come out tonight and just be happy, soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the race. What will happen, will happen.

    Great Britain's Jonny Marshall comes home in eighth in the first men's 100m backstroke semi-final. That won't be good enough to make the final.

    Thomas Ceccon of Italy finishes first, while the Olympic record holder Ryan Murphy is fourth.

    GB's Oliver Morgan is up next in the second semi. He goes in lane seven.

  7. What has happened on day two so far?published at 20:32 British Summer Time 28 July

    Adam Peaty is about to go for a third-straight 100m breaststroke gold, which would cap an enthralling day of Olympic action...

    • Andy Murray delayed his retirement with a scarcely believable escape act as the British tennis great and Dan Evans saved five match points to win their Olympics men's doubles opener.
    • Kimberley Woods won Great Britain's third medal of the Games, with bronze in the women's kayak singles.
    • Rafael Nadal set up a tantalising second-round contest with old foe Novak Djokovic after coming through his opening singles match against Hungary's Marton Fucsovics.
    • Simone Biles made a stunning return to Olympic action in the women's artistic gymnastics qualifying, including a sublime beam routine that scored 14.733.
    • There was disappointment in the boxing as Team GB's Rosie Eccles is out of the women's 66kg after a split-decision loss to Poland's Aneta Rygielska.
    • Chelsie Giles was left in tears after being knocked out of the second round of the women's -52kg judo by Brazil's Larissa Pimenta.
    • Pollution in the River Seine forced the cancellation of Sunday's proposed swimming training for Olympic triathletes.

    Angharad Evans does so well there [to finish fourth]!

    She was a little bit slow off the start, she gave herself some work to do there, but down that second 50m she was reeling them back in.

    She was sixth, then fifth and then clawed back to fourth. She closed that one off so well.

    A super swim from Angharad Evans and it was all about those last 10 metres. She really dug deep when some of the other swimmers were starting to fade.

    An electric atmosphere here at the Stade de France too where the France team have put on quite a show.

    The hosts bagged a magnificent seven tries and have recorded the biggest victory of the day so far.

    The crowd have loved every minute and are giving their team a standing ovation as they make their way around the Stade de France.

    While we were focusing on the remarkable comeback of Andy Murray and Dan Evans, Australia were performing a Lazarus act of their own in the women's football.

    The Matildas were 5-2 down to Zambia after 56 minutes, with Barbra Banda scoring a first-half hat-trick for Africans.

    But the 2023 Women's World Cup co-hosts dug deep and scored four goals in 32 minutes, Arsenal midfielder Steph Catley netting twice before Michelle Hayman grabbed the winner.

    It moves Australia onto three points in Group B alongside USA and Germany, who face off tonight.

    Great Britain's gymnasts have been waiting a very long time for this news (a good nine hours) - they have qualified for the women's team final.

    There is still one sub-division to go but, sitting in sixth currently, they cannot be overtaken in the race to claim one of the eight spots in Tuesday's final.

    They had some shaky performances on Sunday but it will be a clean slate for the final. They will have to improve a lot, though, if they are to repeat Tokyo's surprise bronze medal.

    Becky Downie, however, is still facing a nail-biting wait to see if she's made the uneven bars final. She is sixth before the final subdivision, which gets under way at 20:10.

    It is touch and go for Georgia-Mae Fenton and Alice Kinsella in their bids to reach the all-around final but they may still make it as only two gymnasts per country can qualify for the final and so some gymnasts above them in the standings will be ineligible.

    Duncan Scott was really, really good. I think from the heats this morning he qualified in about 13th place, so to move up to 2nd place is good.

    We all kind of knew he had a little bit extra in him, but of course we knew they were all a little disappointed after the relay last night, but they are all 200m freestylers. Scott is an Olympic silver medallist for a reason.

    He's brought his A-game to this meet, looked in control and he is definitely going to be hard to beat tomorrow.

    But we can't ask for more tonight than two Brits getting into the final tomorrow. There are medals in there for Britain tomorrow.

    That's an excellent swim from Duncan Scott to qualify for the final second-fastest. He hasn't looked that impressive in any of his swims so far, in the heats or the relays on Saturday, but that was slick.

    Although he's qualified, Matt Richards will have to do it the hard way in the final from an outside lane.

    I think Richards should be alright with that second result actually, his time should get him in.

    It was an interesting race for Scott then because Popovici went for it from the very beginning, testing the whole field and pushing them out. Scott swam his own race though, and he swam a really good third 50m!

    He looked so smooth.

    A late charge from GB's Duncan Scott and he seals second place with a time of 1:44.94.

    He'll be in one of the middle lanes in the final alongside Romania's David Popovici, who was the fastest semi-final finisher.

    It looks like Matthew Richards has just about made it.
