Daley and Williams win silver

Tom Daley and Noah Williams have been handed their silver medals at the medal ceremony in the Aquatics Centre.

They even synchronised their jump onto the podium to be given their gold medals.

Canada take bronze - their first medal in the discipline.

Daley and Williams win silver!

TOM Daley was forced to settle for silver as China’s dive kings proved a force too far.

Britain’s greatest diver and his 10m synchro partner Noah Williams knew they were going to have to do something special to prevent three-time world champions Lian Junjie and Yang Hao reclaiming the crown Daley and Matty Lee had taken in Tokyo.

And despite a performance 41 points better than in taking world silver behind the Chinese in Doha in February, the Brit duo had to settle for second best again.

Daley and Lee were superb throughout, never faltering as they scored 463.44.

But Lian and Hao recorded the best dive in EVERY round, with six brilliant routines to record a stunning 490.35 and with Canada’s Rylan Wiens and Nathan Zsombor-Murray third.

It still represented a remarkable comeback for Daley, who thought he had walked away from the sport after Tokyo.

He only confirmed his intention to return earlier this year, having been persuaded to change his mind by son Robbie.

Daley has spent his spare time in Paris with his knitting needles, knowing that he and Williams could not afford to drop a single stitch if they were to win.

The reality, though, was that the Chinese could only lose the gold, rather than the Brits winning it.

This time, unlike in Tokyo, there were no Chinese mistakes.

Silver it is for Daley, who now has a full house of Olympic medals after his Tokyo golds and bronzes from Japan, Rio and London.

Brits confirm silver

A fantastic 93.24 confirms at least silver for the Brits.

But the Chinese respond with an impeccable dive to make sure they win gold!

Everything was perfect about that final dive.

Barely a splash as they entered the pool and they've been given 103 on their final dive.

490 overall. Incredible.

Canada secure bronze

The Canadians are delighted after securing bronze - their first ever medal in the 10metres.

They left the door open for Ukraine and Mexico after a slightly conservative final dive.

It would take something huge for Britain to usurp the Chinese in first.

GB maintaining hold on silver

Daley and Williams tightened their gruip on silver with their penultimate dive.

They scored 87.72.

But the Chinese deliver another brilliant response and score 91.80.

They look nearly certain to win gold here.

Today, 10:39By Cosmo Teare

Big score for the Brits

Team GB score 93.6 on their second optional dive to put some pressure on the Chinese.

But they've responded with a monster score of 95.88.

World class stuff from Lian and Yang.

Eventing team hoping for gold

Daley and Williams could be in a race with the eventingteam in the race for Team GB's first gold medal of Paris 2024.

GB head into the final round on 82.50 penalty points - clear of second-placed France back on 87.20.

Here we go!

Update from near the halfway point as China pull ahead

Now it’s down to the four choice dives, with the scores going up massively if you get it right. And any mistake being really costly.

Daley and Williams started with an inward three and a half somersault routine, with their lowest tariff of 3.2, the same as the Chinese choice.

To the absolute delight of their coach Jane Figueroa, standing on the side of the pool, they nailed it to score 83.52 and put the heat on the leaders.

But Lian and Yang did not falter, scoring 85.44 to nudge further ahead, with the Canadians five points behind the Brits in third.

We're onto the optional dives now - expect the difficulty to ramp up significantly as the divers look to score big on style.

Brit's second dive

Second required dive for Team GB keeps them in contention.

They've been given 51.6 for their second attempt and remain tied with Canada.

China still sit three points ahead and have hit another brilliant required dive.

They've scored 57.6 out of 60 on their second attempt and are establishing a lead out in front over the Brits and the Canadians.

Latest after first dives

Loads of Union Jacks at the far end of the pools - the water polo pitch is also here - from the platform, with Daley and Williams given a raucous welcome as their names were announced.

They started well, too, an inward one and a half somersault worth 53.40 points, level with Canada’s Rylan Wiens and Nathan Zsombor-Murray and better than they had done in Doha.

But the Chinese responded with the best dive of the opening round, perfect timing worth 56.40. Game on.

Today, 10:09By Cosmo Teare

Team GB score well on required dive

Daley and Williams score 53 on the first required dive.
