1604BST: In the footie, Argentina beat Brazil 3-0 with Sergio Aguero, the Atletico Madrid forward, scoring twice and Juan Roman Riquelme, the Argentina captain, converting a penalty to send his side through to the final.

1558BST: Baddeley never really got into the race, he tried to find position going into the final lap, but he didn't have the legs to keep up with the lead pack and finished ninth. Rashid Ramzi, of Bahrain, who pushed a team-mate in the back on the third-last straight, took gold in 3min 32.9sec, Asbel Kiprop, of Kenya, took silver.

1548BST: Andy Baddeley is about to start the 1,500 metres final...

1542BST: Christine Ohuruogu walks out for the medal ceremony. You can almost see Sanya Richards spitting. Incidentally, Britain are only nine gold medals behind the USA in the medals table. Without Michael Phelps of course, that would only be one medal. This has been a fantastic Olympics for Team GB, perfect preparation for London 2012. And up steps Christine Ohuruogu, on comes the National Anthem.

1530BST: Claxton, who should be happy just making the final, came in last in 12.94sec - she ran faster in the semi. Dawn Harper, of America, took gold, Sally McLellan, of Australia, took silver, with Lopes, of Canada, in third. Lolo Jones, leading the whole way, hit the penultimate hurdle and finished seventh. Devastating.

1528BST: Straight into the women's 100-metre hurdles final. Sarah Claxton goes for Britain, lane one...

1525BST: "When I crossed the line, I thought, 'Oh, my gosh! I've won'," said Ohuruogu, clearly shocked and delighted in equal measure. "You have to go in expecting to win." And what a win.

1522BST: We're just about coming down to earth after the magic of Ohuruogu's victory and they bring out the medal winners for the men's high jump. Arise Germaine Mason, a fantastic silver medal.

1521BST: They keep showing replays of Ohuruogu's win and it never gets boring. Michael Johnson, the legendary American 200 and 400 metre runner, is impressed - that's good enough for us.

1516BST: Ohuruogu brings home Britain's first track and field gold - a perfectly timed race. Richards, who last week criticised the presence of formerly banned athletes at the Games, went out too fast. Richards may have the fastest time this season, but Ohuruogu had the stamina, the gameplan to take victory. Glorious. Moment of the Games, no doubt.

1514BST: GOLD for Christine Ohuruogu. Behind Richards almost the whole race, Ohuruogu stormed home in the final straight leaving Richards for dead in 49.62sec. Shericka Williams, of Jamaica, took second with Richards third.
