Starting my evening with some gymnastics before I turn over to watch the greatest cricket team of the modern era start their campaign - the Australian women.

India has chosen to bat, presumably under the impression that trying to make Australia chase will work out for them better than trying to chase...

Spoiler alert: It did not, in fact, work out better for India to have Australia chase.

See the BBC have Hannah “Smiley” Miley on commentating duty.

I haven’t managed to see a lot due to work but saw on the news about that awful crash in the cycling today which also injured some spectators. Also saw a pretty nasty one when watching yesterday evening

Loved the opening ceremony, but I am a big Duran Duran fan after all.
