After the yelling and the leaping, the hugging and the sheer disbelief, Andy Murray returned to his seat and acted as if he had found a moment of silence amid the bedlam. Head in his hands, he tried to process the previous minute where his career teetered on the brink and then came roaring back once more. He can’t believe this. Can we? Not a chance.

His Olympics show with Dan Evans goes on and the last dance gets another turn. As thrilling as the last time, as fraught with tension, two more match points saved to extend a career by at least two more days.

Because why not? Murray is making up the rules now. When you’ve already saved five match points and seen the end, you are playing with house money, even if it is potentially the final match of your career.

It is not enough — it has never been enough — for Simone Biles to do gymnastics.

The 27-year-old American star has been intent almost from the start on pushing the sport in new directions by doing things that have never been done before. That could continue this week when she tries for her eighth Olympic medal in Paris.

Five elements currently bear her name in the Code of Points after she successfully completed them in an international competition: two on vault, two on floor exercise and one on balance beam.

Biles promises to be the star of the gymnastics in Paris and hopes to avoid the twisties this time. The condition, usually in high-pressure situations such as the Olympics or world championships, involves losing control midair and feeling unable to land the move, creating a high-risk and dangerous situation.

It has been likened to the yips in golf or baseball, where professionals suddenly lose the ability to perform under pressure.

This is the moment Coco Gauff furiously contests an umpire’s decision during her shock defeat to Donna Vekic in the Olympic women’s singles.

Gauff had led 5-2 in the opening set on Tuesday (30 July), but Croatian Vekic fought back and then broke for 4-2 in the second on a contentious point.

The umpire over-ruled a Vekic shot that had been called out and awarded her the point after deciding Gauff, who subsequently missed her shot, had not been affected by the call.

Gauff, who experienced a similar situation at the French Open, complained bitterly to the umpire and supervisor, claiming she was being “cheated”.

A tearful Gauff said: “It always happens to me on this court… I have to advocate for myself every time.”

Nathan Hales kept his head while all around him lost theirs to claim a nerveless Olympic shooting gold. In a sport of movement, action, and split-second timing, Hales was the iceman in searing near 40-degree temperatures in Chateauroux, over 200 miles south of Paris.

Rivals wilted but he stayed mentally and physically strong – smashing the Olympic record in the process as friends and family, including wife Charlotte, a double Olympian, watched silently on before exploding with joy.

Hales’s success was Great Britain’s first Olympic shooting gold in 12 years, after Peter Wilson’s win in the double trap at London 2012, and the first in this discipline since Bob Braithwaite in 1968.

The all-around team final is a wild circus of a night with flips and spins and falls in all directions, and you need four eyes to watch. But at 8.20pm there was only one routine left to perform, and the room belonged to Simone Biles.

She performed with spring and extraordinary height, the highlight of which was a triple twisting double-back somersault which is hard enough to write, let alone deliver in an Olympic final. The routine contained some flaws on landing but it is a measure of her otherworldly skill that her score of 14.666 was still the best all night by a distance. She sealed gold with a kiss and the Bercy Arena erupted.

Team GB finally have a moment and a gold in the pool. It’s back-to-back Olympic titles for the dream team and this wonderful quarter can savour another dominant 4x200m freestyle victory. They led after each leg, defying any lingering doubts from so many close calls in individual events in Paris so far.

The ever-dependable James Guy did his job, Tom Dean followed and Matthew Richards brushed off a any disappointment from the 100m freestyle earlier in the evening. Then Duncan Scott, who has a seventh Olympic medal, did what he does best. He would not be denied, coming home in 6mins 59.43secs.

Stronger together, they had too much for the United States, who took silver, and Australia, who settled for bronze in an engrossing relay at La Defense Arena.

Here’s the moment Team GB won their fourth gold medal of the Games and a first in the pool at Paris:

In the last few moments Andy Murray and Dan Evans have won their second round doubles match against Sander Gille and Joran Vliegen.

They’re through to the quarter-finals now and Murray, who is playing in his final tournament before retirement, will have another outing at Roland Garros in a couple of days time.

Duncan Scott is in a good rhythm away 100m. He’s swimming at the quicker pace and leads by over a second at the final turn. Team GB are going to win the gold here!

Scott powers through and wins the gold!

The United States finish second with Australia third.
