Athletics: Things looking good so far for Jessica Ennis in the heptathlon, she ran the 100m hurdles in a heptathlon record time of 12.54 and cleared 1.86m in the high jump to open up a 25 point lead. Team GB's 19-year-old, Katerina Johnson-Thompson, who is billed as the new Jessica Ennis, jumped a personal best of 1.89 and is currently third in the rankings.

Tennis: Things still very even over at Wimbledon where Roger Federer and Juan Martin del Potro are locked at 4-4 in the third and final set. Federer had a break point in Del Potro's last service game but the Argentine was able to hold on.

Stuck at work, but Jess Ennis' efforts in the 100hurdles are immense. Bring home a gold for South Yorkshire..

Tennis: Federer has a break point and really should convert it but his normally effortless one-handed backhand lets him down and he can only power the ball into the net. Del Potro eventually manages to close out the game and it remains on serve at 8-7 in the final and decisive set.

Tennis: Del Potro is 0-30 down on his serve and Federer has a chance for three break points, smashing a cross-court backhand that looks like a winner but somehow Del Potro manages to return it with a phenomenal diving volley. The Argentine then manages to win the next three points for a crucial hold of serve. This game is really starting to hot up.

by Charles Reynolds 8/3/2012 2:32:01 PM
Brilliantly dogged, well fought BRONZE for Karina Bryant! Great stuff, she looks so chuffed. The GB judo team are so pleased for her too.

Tennis: Breakthrough for Roger Federer at Wimbledon as he breaks Juan Martin del Potro for the first time in the match. Del Potro showed signs of fatigue in that last service game, double faulting and making several unforced errors. Federer will now serve for the match with the score at 10-9 in the final set.
