    We knew that the two Chinese and the two Japanese competitors were going to have big scores on parallel bars and high bar, so it was always going to be all to play for heading into the last routine. The same happened in the team final.

    Great Britain finished fourth in both the men and women's team finals in Paris, so can either of Joe Fraser or Jake Jarman secure our first gymnastics medal of the games?

    Don't go anywhere because the horizontal bar is next.

    Joe Fraser has just fallen off the bar twice in the warm-up, he'll hope that not a sign of things to come.

    Teenage archer Megan Havers moved into the last eight of the women's individual competition by beating France's Amelie Cordeau 6-5 after a shoot-off.

    The 16-year-old, who had earlier defeated Spain's Elia Canales 6-0, will now be in action again on Saturday at the Esplanade des Invalides.

    "It's absolutely amazing, there are so many emotions I am feeling right now," she said.

    "I'm going to have tomorrow off to relax and bring myself back down after today."

    Meanwhile, Tom Hall will compete in the men's quarter-finals on Sunday after coming through an all-British encounter against Conor Hall on the final arrow. Tied at 5-5, Tom, was closest to the centre mark with his concluding effort.

    The Spanish dream team of Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal are in men's doubles quarter-final action, but have some work to do as they are currently 4-2 and a break of serve down against the fourth-seeded American pair of Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram.

    Both Krajicek and Ram have won men's doubles titles at Grand Slams - but not in the same partnership.

    Daiki Hashimoto has just not had the same polish as we have seen from him before. We don't know what preparation he had coming into the meet, perhaps had a little niggle or two.

    A great score for Jake Jarman on bars. He will be very pleased with that. It was all a little bit frantic at the beginning but he settled down into the routine and it was a good dismount, a lovely landing.

    How are nerves? Well, if they're bad now then they are about to get even worse... Jake Jarman and Joe Fraser will finish up on horizontal bar, the piece of apparatus that draws gasps - and errors - like no other.

    Jake Jarman is up.

    He finishes a good parallel bars performance with a fantastic dismount.

    He is given 14.300, which is up on his qualification score.

    He looks very happy with that and so he should be.

    Joe Fraser was absolutely delighted with his parallel bars routine! He didn't stop punching the air all the way from the end of the routine to making it back across to his chair. Wow, 14.933, that is big.

    There was a touching moment at the end of Japan's 3-1 victory over Nigeria in the women's football earlier on.

    The Japanese players, who ensured qualification for the quarter-finals with the win, held up a number two shirt with the name Shimizu on in a tribute to Risa Shimizu, who has been ruled out of the remainder of the Olympics with a knee injury.

    Shimizu joined Manchester City earlier in the summer after her West Ham contract expired, but picked up the injury in Japan's match with Spain.

    World champions Spain finished top of Group C thanks to a 2-0 win over Brazil, with the South Americans having Marta sent off at the end of the first half.

    Brazil now face an anxious wait to see if they advance as one of the two best third-placed teams.

    I don't want to be in a position giving false hope to the listeners, but the GB boys are doing well!

    It is a very close competition, but Joe Fraser can hold his own on the bars.
