Bolt is to make his first appearance at Rio this afternoon in the men's 100m heats, while Jessica Ennis-Hill will continue the heptathlon with the long jump after finishing Friday's events in the lead.

British rowers will be hoping for a podium finish in both the women's and men's eight finals and medals are also up for grabs in the cycling women's team pursuit and keirin, featuring Team GB's Laura Trott and Joanna Rowsell.

Andy Murray continues his defence against Kei Nishikori in the tennis semi-finals, and will next face Rafael Nadal or Juan Martin Del Potro in the gold medal match if he emerges victorious.

Britain's Greg Rutherford will be going for another long jump gold after midnight, and in the early hours of Sunday morning Mo Farah will be running the 10,000m race.

Michael Phelps and Adam Peaty will be swimming in the men's 4x100m medley relay final at around 3am.

Team GB is hoping to add to its haul of gold medals, which put Britain third on the medal table behind only the US and China at the start of Saturday's action.

Football: Brazil hope to exorcise some demons tomorrow.

Here's Matt Gatward looking back on that 7-1 and ahead to Saturday's final.

Can Neymar and the new Brazil ease the pain of that 7-1 demolition?

Women's hockey: Here we go. Great Britain's women are about to walk out on their first ever Olympic field hockey final.

Their opponents are the Netherlands. Can they repeat the heroics of Wednesday's win over New Zealand? We're about to find out.

We'll have goal, penalty and quarter-by-quarter updates...

Women's hockey: Netherlands 0 Great Britain 1

End of the first quarter. It's exactly the start Great Britain would have wanted.

Hinch's saves have frustrated the Dutch, as has Owsley's cool finish. It's a fast-paced affair and they'll be more goals in it yet.

Great second round for Muhammad. An all important spinning kick to the face lands him 4 points and he is 5-1 up with a round to go. Ian Herbert

Women's hockey: GOAL! Netherlands 1 Great Britain 1 (Van Male)

Kitty van Male's sheer speed takes her past several flailing British defenders and allows her to shoot straight into the roof of Hinch's net.

And Lutalo Muhammad has made the final! Survived a very tense last round when the Azeri seemed to be reeling him in. One point in it with 30 seconds remaining but two kicks to the face from our boy in the closing seconds. A remarkable story brewing here in the Carioca Arena. Look out for more from me in a few hours. Ian Herbert

Women's hockey: Sensational stuff, not least because a team from the this sceptred isle just won a penalty shoot-out.
