Big shouts for a penalty following a France corner. Spain then break and fire inches wide.

Could be some finish this.

An absolute shocker for the American quartet!

Great Britain come away with a bronze medal!! Zharnel Hughes on the anchor leg motored on the straight to power the GB team to a well-deserved relay prize.

Canada take gold and South Africa seal the silver.

Terrible changeover for USA!!

Great Britain are in lane four for this final.

1. Jeremiah Azu

2. Louie Hinchliffe

3. Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake

4. Zharnel Hughes

Jack Carlin would have been sweating on whether he was going to be disqualified after crashing into Jeffrey Hoogland's bike.

But the deciding race is re-run and Carlin takes full advantage. Hoogland goes high up the track, ready to swoop down and attack, but Carlin has built up enough of an advantage to cross the line for bronze medal, pending any Dutch protests.

The rain's just started coming down in one of Paris's fan parks, but the hopes of the French football faithful are undampened as the men's final reaches its closing stages.

That goal the blues pulled back against Spain brought the place back to life.

Many of the spectators have ducked for cover under the trees, and are now chewing their nails.

Joe: Jack Carlin gets away with it. Rerun.

Nick P: Win it on the track Netherlands.

Si: What is Jack Carlin doing there!? Dear me!

Spain are going to have lots more defending to do, me thinks.

Momentum and mood is going with the French, who are being roared on.

Little under five minutes - plus stoppages - to go…

Much to Jack Carlin's relief, he is able to restart the race and gets a chance to go again in this decider for the bronze medal.

Jack Carlin was taking some very deep breaths as he took his time, slowly riding around the track, to re-focus after that coming together.

He had a brief chat with coach Jason Kenny while a mechanic checked over his bike, before Kenny gave Carlin another push off to give the British rider another lap to get his thoughts together.

They will restart this race.

USA are favourites to take the men's title in the 4x100m relay final, but they'll have to do it without superstar Noah Lyles.

The 100m champion tested positive for Covid-19 early on Tuesday morning and finished with a bronze medal in the 200m last night.

He later wrote on social: "I believe this will be the end of my 2024 Olympics" after being helped off the track in a wheelchair.

Whether he meant it or not I'm afraid he just cut across the Dutchman. With one warning on the cards, I'm not sure how you manage to do that actually.

He's kicking himself now.

Jack Carlin, who picked up a warning in his races yesterday, misjudges his racing line and crashes into the bike of Jeffrey Hoogland.

Carlin instantly puts out his hand to apologise, but that might end his hopes of a bronze medal. He faces an anxious wait to see if that proves costly.

Great Britain are aiming for double success in the relay finals tonight.

The GB quartet qualified third-fastest in yesterday’s heats with a season-best time of 38.04 seconds. The American team - who are world champions but aiming for relay redemption in Paris after missing out on the finals in Tokyo - were the top qualifiers.

Also look out for South Africa, who clocked a second-best time of 37.94.

Reigning Olympic champions Italy scraped through by finishing fifth on Thursday, while world record holders Jamaica will have to watch from the sidelines after failing to secure a spot in the final.

Game on!!

France have got the goal they deserve.

Maghnes Akliouche is credited with the goal which comes from a free-kick swung in from the left and goes through a box-full of bodies.

Zut alors! The locals are going wild.

Sadly the changeovers not quite what we would have wanted, they have to be 100% right.

It was nearly there, not quite, so we have to settle for the silver behind the USA.

There won't be much in it either way.

We'll have an explosion in pace shortly.

Meera: How do you grab a baton at that speed with those nails Sha'Carri Richardson? That deserves a medal only!

Glen: Two better baton exchanges away from a historic gold. Silver is still a great result. The start and home legs were superb runs.

It was so close for Great Britain.

Dina Asher-Smith was rapid out of the blocks on the opening leg and gave a remarkable shout for the first changeover.

Imani-Lara Lansiquot even had the quickest split of the field with 10.13 seconds.

Was it the final two exchanges where GB lost their edge over the American quartet?

France's pressure has paid off as they have pulled one back with 11 minutes left. It's game on at the Parc des Princes.

Michael Olise curls in a low inswinging free-kick from the right wing. Substitute Maghnes Akliouche gets the slightest of touches and it sails inside the far post to give the hosts hope of a comeback.
