10:51 pm
hello there. i'm olly foster with the latest from the bbc sport centre. team gb are back up fourth in the medal table at the tokyo olympics. that's after two more golds on the 14th day of the games. one of them came in the velodrome, with laura kenny becoming the most successful female british olympian. she and katie archibald won the madison. kenny is also the first british woman to win golds at three consecutive games. the british pair dominated the 120—lap race, winning ten of the 12 sprints on offer to finish on 78 points, over twice as many as the danes who finished second. out of all the medals kenny has won, this fifth gold seems to mean the most. i have never wanted to win a race so badly in all my life, and that was the one. i messaged jason this morning, i said the one. i messaged jason this morning, isaid ifeel the one. i messaged jason this morning, i said ifeel it my the one. i messaged jason this morning, i said i feel it my olympic and stewed a. that was really our main target. i love the team pursuit, but it was giving me fears like i have never had before. once
10:52 pm
that was out of the way, it is almost hard to say, but i felt relieved because the one race i wanted to do was coming. and we went and did it! jack carlin added to his silver in the team sprint with a bronze in the individual event. he beat russian denis dmitriev for a spot on the podium, along with two dutch riders who won gold and silver. team gb�*s 18th gold of the games came from kate french in the modern pentathlon. it's been a sport that's provided a great deal of success since the women's event was introduced in 2000. she went into the third discipline well—placed, but a clear round in the show jumping took french up to fifth for the final two events, which are combined in a so—called laser run, when the athletes run four 800—metre laps with range shooting in between. french made up the is—second gap on the leader to become britain's second women's modern pentathlon champion.
10:53 pm
still no gold for great britain, though, at the athletics. they did come very close, though. they were pushed into silver by 100th of a second in the men's 4x100 metre relay while the women took bronze in their race. there was also an emotional silver for laura muir in the 1,500 metres. lydia campbell reports. this is the face of determination and then elation. laura muir crossing the line, finally on a podium position. muir has been on a quest for a global medalfor nearly a decade. this was the race of her life. and approaching the final 200 metres, it was no longer a question of whether she would medal, it was a question of which one. past sifan hassan and into second, but unable to chase down kenya's faith kipyegon, muir crossed the line with the silver medal. laura muir, smashing
10:54 pm
her personal best. i worked so hard for so long. i've been fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, every year since 2015, and it'sjust like, with everything last year that's been postponed, not knowing it was going ahead, i got a silver, and well done to faith and sifan as well. in the men's 4x100 metre relay, gold and silver was decided byjust one hundredth of a second, team gb leading in the home straight. and he's taken on the line by italy! it's proof that the smallest of margins can cause the biggest of hurts. mitchell—blake consoled by his team—mates, reminding him he had just won a silver medal. this man run an amazing leg. he looked a bit disappointed, but this is a team. _ he's been part of one of the top
10:55 pm
three fastest teams we've everi had in british history. this man is a legend and he brought us home in incredible style. - and in the women's relay, no one could get close to the jamaicans in first, but team gb finished with a bronze, matching their performance in rio five years ago. we knew we could medal. i'm just so proud, this is my first ever olympic medal! and this is the beginning of something great and i'm so, so chuffed. so chuffed! oodiums in three events and nine athletes with medals podiums in three events and nine athletes with medals around their necks, this has been a successful day on the track for team gb. there are more possibilities for success tomorrow, the penultimate day of the games, as team gb look to at least stay fourth in that medal table. tom daley is one of those in action — at 7am uk time. he's qualified for the semifinal of the ten metre platform. both the semifinal and final are tomorrow, as he looks to add to the gold won last week
10:56 pm
in the synchro diving. let's move away from the old and now. rain brought an early close to play at trent bridge on the third day of the first test between england and india. india were bowled out for 278. kl rahul topscored for them with 84 to help them to a 95—run first innings lead. jimmy anderson picked up a couple of wickets to move clear in third in the all—time list, and ollie robinson had a good day with the ball, completing his first five—wicket haul. england reached 25 without loss in their second innings before the rain intervened after tea, so they trail by 70 runs. staying with cricket, trent rockets moved to the top of the men's hundred table after a six—wicket win over welsh fire in cardiff. set 140 to win, rockets needed six runs from the last 11 balls, samit patel blasted them to victory. that was one of five sixes in an unbeaten 46. their fourth win in five games.
10:57 pm
and that completed the double for the rockets, because the women had already beaten welsh fire by four wickets. a half—century from nat sciver helped them reach the 103 required. that moves them above fire into fourth in the table, level on points with third—placed oval invincibles. there's been a slight twist in the harry kane saga. missing from tottenham training this week, seemingly pushing for a transfer, the england captain has denied that he refused to report for duty and says he'll return to the club tomorrow, as planned. he was expected at spurs on monday after an extended break following the european championship. kane says it hurts to read some of the comments questioning his professionalism and while "not going into the specifics of the situation", he says that "he would never, and has never, refused to train." manchester city are favourites to sign him, with their manager confirming today that they're interested. if tottenham don't want
10:58 pm
to negotiate, it's finished. if they are open to negotiate, of course not man city, many the clubs in the world want him, to try to sign him. we are not an exception. harry kane is an exceptional, extraordinary striker. no doubt about that, of course. we are very interested in him, but he is a tottenham player, and if they don't want to negotiate... nothing more to say. if they want it, we will try. the championship season started this evening with bournemouth drawing 2—2 at home to west bromwich albion. and it was a great game down on the south coast, as bournemouth took the lead twice — philip billing with the cherries' second after the break. but west brom — relegated from the premier league last season — drew level again thanks to callum robinson inside the last 25 minutes. don't forget the bbc sport website to keep you right on top of everything that's going on heading into the final weekend in tokyo at
10:59 pm
the olympics, but that's all your sport for now.
