Men’s track cycling, team pursuit: 8:52pm

Arguably one of the biggest stories of these Games from a British perspective. Sir Bradley Wiggins will be going for a fifth Olympic gold medal, and eighth Olympic medal in total (which would be the most from a Brit), at the age of 36, in Team GB’s blue riband event. Australia provide the main opposition. The British quartet qualified with the fastest time by some margin, and have been breaking world records in training: they're looking excellent coming into this one.

Men’s rowing, fours: 3:27pm

The blue riband event on the rowing lake, and an event dominated by Great Britain in recent Olympiads. The British have won gold in four successive Summer Games, and Alex Gregory returns to help his new team-mates - Mohamed Sbihi and Constantine Louloudis, both refugees from the men’s eight boat, and former men’s pair rower George Nash - defend the title. The four won their semi-final with ease, but it was a slower race than the other qualifying round, in which Australia, South Africa and Italy all looked ominously sharp.

Women's heptathlon, hurdles: 1:35pm
