And if there hadn't been rain on Wednesday the first round of the mixed wouldn't have been delayed....

Such is fate - but there are some good teams left.

It's raining again today so there could be further delays.

Laura's ITF match is being streamed. She has won the first set 6-3.

Tara is ok , she's updated on twitter a few times.

Laura's ball toss - has there been a player with such a shaky toss?

Doesn't look like it's raining at the moment, from looking at the video stream of Centre Court.

Currently not on any of the extra Sky channels. You will have to watch via the BBC Sport app or the website.
I get the feeling though it may appear on BBC Olympics 1 (Sky 472) in a minute or so once the basketball on there gets to half time.

Keep an eye on Sky 472 though, basketball about to hit half time and they may switch.

It's not the BBC's fault they keep changing the schedule. I bet you blame the BBC if your tea is lukewarm.
