Sam Reardon, Laviai Nielsen, Alex Haydock-Wilson and Nicole Yeargin will line up for Great Britain in the first round of the mixed 4x400m relay - an event GB won world silver in last year.

Nielsen was part of the team which made the podium in that final and there is serious strength in depth to call upon in the final, should they manage to get there.

Hosts France are joined by world champions USA in the first heat, with Great Britain and Ireland both in the second race and hoping to make those top three automatic qualifying places.

The stadium announcer tries to hush the crowd as chants of Allez les Bleus begin before the start, but eventually gives up and lets the athletes go anyway.

If you're sitting down and eating your tea while watching tonight's Olympics offering on BBC Two, then BBC Sport team in Salford will join you. We're getting fed and watered before the athletics, swimming, BMX, tennis, and anything else Paris wants to throw at us.

The mixed 4x400m relay heats are up first on track, with Great Britain going in heat two.

First three in each heat go through automatically.

Fermin Lopez scored twice as Spain defeated to Japan in Lyon to move into the Olympic men's football semi-finals.

The Barcelona midfielder, 21, who was part of Spain's victorious Euro 2024 squad, opened the scoring early on with a left-foot drive into the right corner and added his second, with a dipping right-foot shot from 20 yards, after the break.

Mao Hosoya, who hit the post for Japan, thought he had equalised late in the first period but his effort was ruled out for offside after a lengthy VAR review.

Abel Ruiz's late tap in seal victory for the European side, who will now play Morocco in Marseille on Monday (17:00 BST).

Here's how Carlos Alcaraz breezed past Felix Auger-Aliassime in today's other semi-final.

The Spaniard is already enjoying the summer of his life, having won both the French Open and Wimbledon.

Can he top it off with a gold medal?

Let's find out who he'll face in the final - Novak Djokovic will serve first in his last-four match with Lorenzo Musetti.

Thank goodness there area lot of mats and padding around the trampoline - Australian Brock Batty just came down from a great height and completely missed the trampoline, landing on the floor. He gets up fine but everyone's hearts were in their mouths there. Ouch.

This is not a calm sport to watch.

In short, loads! Here's a whistle-stop tour of the highlights:

For many, today has been about reflecting on Andy Murray’s career.

It was split into two distinct eras: the Grand Slam-chasing decade of his swashbuckling youth and the inspiring comeback of the man with a metal hip.

In 2019, Murray was the first singles player to return to professional tennis after having hip resurfacing surgery - going to claim an ATP title later that year and earning some notable wins over big-name rivals.

Part deux has been challenging, no doubt, but he’s proud of his perseverance.

“Winning the trophy in Antwerp was great and although the results certainly weren’t consistent I did have wins against quite a lot of players who are up at top of the game - Alcaraz, Sinner, Tsitsipas, Hurkacz,” Murray told me.

“To do that with a metal hip, I don’t know if that will happen again or not.

“I was the first to try to do it and although it didn’t go perfectly I was able to have what many players would consider a pretty successful four or five years.

“It wasn’t the same as it was before but that’s what I’m most proud of - I was able to come back and play at the highest level with a pretty significant physical limitation.”

Here comes Novak Djokovic.

The Serb is one win away from the gold medal match. Italy's Lorenzo Musetti stands in his way.

Carlos Alcaraz awaits in the final.

Get that remote, it's time to head to BBC Two as we make way for the news. You can watch the athletics there.

Over on iPlayer, you can watch 3x3 basketball, then canoeing and the men's trampoline final.

All 16 gymnasts have now performed in this qualifying session and GB's Zac Perzamanos is sitting sixth after some strong routines after him.

Leading the way is defending champion Ivan Litvinovich, who scored a huge 63.420 - one of only three gymnasts to go over 60.

They all get the chance to perform a second routine now - you don't have to if you think you've done enough to qualify for the final.

On the agenda tonight we have BMX racing!

BMX racing is an elimination event in which six competitors at a time ride hell-for-leather while negotiating a 400m-long course featuring bumps, jumps and turns – the first over the line wins.

BMX racing first joined the Games in 2008 and representing Team GB is Kye Whyte and Bethany Shriever.

Up first at 19:00 BST is Whyte in the men's semi-final and then Shriever takes on the circuit in the women's semi-final at 19:15 BST.

Well, well, well, Zak Perzamanos has put in a seriously good performance there on his Olympic debut - his 58.800 takes him temporarily top.

So, there is a very good chance he will make tonight's final. Is now a good time to mention that Great Britain have never won a men's Olympic trampoline medal?

Not to brag, but this reporter bossed her level 1 kayaking course – and let me tell you, those basic kayak control skills came in pretty handy when Newsbeat sent me to Lee Valley White Water Centre, where Team GB’s athletes train.

We’re here to talk kayak cross, a new sport for the Paris Games which British slalom canoeist Phoebe Spicer describes as like regular kayaking but "more aggressive and less technical".

"You’ve just got to go as fast as you can and hope it goes well."

Phoebe’s showing me round with fellow canoe slalom athlete Ben Haylett – they’ve both got an eye on the next Games in LA but for now they’re supporting the likes of Joe Clarke, who’s competing this afternoon with high hopes for a gold medal.

"It's really good to see more exposure for the sport," says Ben.

"It's just good to see people enjoying the water."

Earlier, Team GB's Joe Clarke finished fastest in the men's kayak cross time trial, becoming the top seed for the following rounds.

All 37 of the paddlers in the women's event have been down the white water course now and it's more positive news for GB!

Mallory Franklin was third fastest, while Kimberley Woods, the reigning world champion, came in 16th.

During the time trial, athletes make a run down the course on their own.

This determines the seeding for round one, and that's where the good stuff starts.

From tomorrow, up to four paddlers go against one another at the same time. Kayak to kayak contact is allowed and athletes can reach across another competitor with an arm or paddle. Brutal.

The crowd got right behind India's Ankita as she completed her final half lap solo at the end of the first women's 5,000m heat, which eventually came to life after a relaxed start. As expected, Faith Kipyegon and Sifan Hassan safely progressed.

All the biggest cheers are coming in response to the efforts of French decathlete Makenson Gletty, however.

The home favourite is continuing to delight the crowd during the decathlon high jump, with his latest clearance at 1.99m taking him up to seventh in the overall standings.

There are going to be scenes at the Stade de France if the European bronze medallist can get himself into medal contention.

Here's what you can expect from the first evening athletics session of Paris 2024...

Ongoing - Men's decathlon high jump.

Ongoing - Women's 5,000m round one.

Ongoing - Women's triple jump qualification.

Great Britain's Zak Perzamanos is about to get his trampoline qualifying campaign under way. The highest score in the first group came from France's Pierre Gouzou, which has obviously gone down very, very well in the Bercy Arena.

Sifan Hassan is safely through to the women's 5,000m final.

The first eight in each of the two heats make it through to Monday's final and Hassan comes across the finish line in second.

French President Emmanuel Macron was in the crowd to watch his fellow Frenchman Teddy Riner win a gold medal in the men's +100kg judo final.

Macron gave Riner a big hug as he came off the canvas.

Obviously, 6ft 8in Riner overpowered Macron's hug!
