That was Jordan Houlden's best dive in terms of what he can perform!
Diving - men's 3m springboard final
Back 3½ somersaults in tuck for Jordan Houlden and it earns him a 70.20.
But any faint glimmer of a medal surely disappears as a brilliant dive gets him a massive 98.80. Remarkable to extend the gap to fourth.

Great Britain's Bradly Sinden has done it! He's through to the semi-finals after defeating Croatia's Marko Golubic in the deciding round.
Sinden is now one win away from a guaranteed silver medal.
The man from Doncaster is one step closer to the gold!

Taekwondo is so tense!
Great Britain's Bradly Sinden had a nine point lead but lost the second round 11-9.
Croatian Marko Golubic won some fantastic points to take this one to a decider.
All or nothing for Sinden now.

Team GB's medal hopes look to be all but over.
Mexico's Osmar Olvera is in third as it stands and a 75.85 means he holds nearly a 25-point advantage over Jordan Houlden in sixth.
China's Wang Zongyuan maintains the lead, although his compatriot Xie Siyi has closed the gap to 3.30 points with two dives to go...

A really good effort from Jack Laugher, but I think he has too much to do.

A 72.15 for Jack Laugher. Not bad but not spectacular and after his previous dive, he really did need spectacular.
Two dives to go but those podium places are looking a long way off now.

Jordan Houlden's hardest dive and he executes it pretty well.
A score of 74.10 takes him to 283.45 and should keep him in with a glimmer of hope for a medal.

Did Croatia's Marko Golubic just dislocate his finger?
If he did then the Croatian physio popped it back where it should be and Great Britain's Bradly Sinden quickly reeled off four points.
Sinden takes the first round 8-6.

After that poor dive, Jack Laugher just dipped into the little jacuzzi pool and then was straight back over to his chair. The headphones are on again.
Others might have been kicking chairs and all sorts.

Here we go.
Great Britain's Bradly Sinden is minutes away from a semi-final spot but Croatia's Marko Golubic will have something to say about that.

The two Chinese divers are in a league of their own and have opened up a big gap at the top.
A stunning 95.55 for Wang Zongyuan keeps him top on 268.15, five points clear of Xie Siyi, who responded with a staggering 97.20.
Jordan Houlden is fifth and Jack Laugher is down to seventh.

There is over rotation there for Jack Laugher. One of the people in the stands had their head in their hands.
That could be costly.

No, no, no, noooooo!
The door was open as well....
Diving - men's 3m springboard final
Oh no.
The door was opened for Jack Laugher when Osmar Olvera only records a 63.00 with his third dive.
But Laugher can't make the Mexican pay. He over rotates and, well, the judges score of 35.70 says it all...

It's such a technical sport and you want to keep that splash to an absolute minimum. Houlden just had a slight over rotation and he is behind the Frenchman and the Mexican and it's going to be hard for Houlden to come back.

Jordan Houlden is having a little bit of a tough time out there.
Diving - men's 3m springboard final
Not quite what Jordan Houlden would have wanted again, he scores 68.25 for his third dive.
That takes him to 209.35 and into the third for the time being.
He is likely to drop to sixth or seventh by the end of the round, though.

Opposite me there is a rowdy bunch of French fans with a drum and a huge cut out of Jules Bouyer's face.
Bouyer, as you have probably guessed, is the French representative in this final.
