Latest updates
11:41pm - Hockey: And that's it, Argentina win 4-1, leaving New Zealand out of the men's quarter-finals - a disappointing result.
That's the last Kiwi performers finished for the day. Join us again early tomorrow for the triathlon mixed relay at 10:30am.
11:12pm - Hockey: Argentina now ahead 3-1 and the Black Sticks seem like they're headed for an early exit from the men's competition.
11:10pm - Athletics: That's both pools finished and Maddie Wesche will join Dame Val in the shot final, ranking 11th through qualifying.
11:02pm - Athletics: Dame Val about to take her third throw - she hits the mark again and it's measured at 18.83m, so that's an automatic qualifer.
Weshe has finished seventh in her group and sits 11th overall. She can only afford one more thrower to beat her...
11:01pm - Athletics: Maddie Wesche beats her previous best for the second time tonight with 18.53m, so she'll have to wait to see if that's good enough to progress. So far it is.
10:54pm - Athletics: American Raven Saunders has throw 19.22m in the shotput qualifying, so now six athletes have progressed to Sunday's final. Adams and Wesche are the next best to advance so far.
10:52pm - Hockey: Halftime and still 2-1 to Argentina.
10:47pm - Athletics: Dame Val strides into the circle, but isn't happy with that effort. It's mesaured at 18.59m, so she'll need to throw again.
In the other circle, Gao of China achieves 18.80m and progresses. Wesche's second effort isn't nearly as good, reaching 16.80m.
10:41pm - Athletics: Portugese Dongmo has reached the 18.80m automatic qualifying mark, so that's three so far.
10:38pm - Equestrian: Jesse Campbell has completed the dressage stage of the three-day event, scoring 30.10 points, which puts him just ahead of fellow Kiwi Jonelle Price. Tim Price will perform his routine on Saturday.
10:33pm - Athletics: Swede Fanny Roos has achieved the qualifying mark with 19.01m in the other group - her night is done.
Maddie Wesche is up next for NZ... she's never thrown 18.80m, so this would take a personal best. It's 18.65m, which is 18cm better than she's thrown before.
Meanwhile, Gong from China has qualified in Adams' pool, throwing 19.46m.
10:30pm - Athletics: No automatic qualifiers from group B yet, as Dame Val steps into the circle...
Her toss is right around the 18.80m mark, given 18.75m, so not an automatic mark, but a metre better than her rivals so far.
10:24pm - Hockey: Argentina go 2-1 over the NZ men, with Martinez scoring.
10:10pm - Hockey: NZ scored first with a Kane Russell penalty corner to take a 1-0 lead over, but Argentina equalise within seconds, 1-1
A draw would be enough to see the Black Sticks into the quarter-finals.
10:15pm - Athletics: The pace goes on in the 5000m heat, as the speedsters sort out the qualifying spots. Hassan of Netherlands sprints home in 14m 47.89s for victory, while Buscomb crosses in 14th with 15m 24.39s - that wont's get her through to the final.
10:10pm - Athletics: Buscomb has dropped off the back of the main bunch in her heat. She passed through the 3000m in 9m 04.7s, sitting 14th, with five to advance and the five fastest losers.
Still no score in the hockey, after 12 minutes.
10pm - Athletics: Camille Buscomb is lining up for the 5000m heats, with Dame Val Adams and Maddie Wesche warming up for shot qualifying in 30 minutes. We'll also keep an eye on the Black Sticks men, playing for a quarter-final spot against Argentina.
9:49pm - Sevens: Fiji win a penalty near their own line and kick it out for an upset win over the champion Australians. They will now meet NZ in the semis tomorrow - Australia are out of the tournament.

Australia score under the posts to trail 14-12 with seconds left...

*****
Kia ora, good morning and welcome to Newshub's live coverage of the Tokyo Olympics, on a day when New Zealand rowers promise more medals - and maybe gold - at the Sea Forest Waterway.
Emma Twigg has dominated the early rounds of single sculls and finished three seconds clear of the next fastest rival in her semi yesterday. After consecutive fourth-place finishes at London 2012 and Rio 2016, she seems a lock for a medal in her fourth Olympics - and probably gold.
Pair gold medallists Kerri Gowler and Grace Prendergast return to the course as part of the world champion eight, hoping to secure New Zealand's first medal in the women's big boat - again, possibly gold.
Soon after, the men hope to rekindle a legacy that dates back to Munich 1972, when the Kiwis last won gold in the eight. This latest crew were the last to qualify for Tokyo earlier this year, but won their repechage two days ago and may yet surprise their opponents in the final.
Elsewhere, swimmer Lewis Clareburt has a chance to redeem himself in the 200m individual medley final, after letting a medal slip through his grasp over 400m. Tennis doubles specialists Michael Venus and Marcus Daniell play for bronze.
Boxer David Nyika is just one win away from a guaranteed heavyweight medal and faces Uladzislau Smiahlikau from Belarus, while later tonight, Dame Val Adams begins her bid for a third Olympic gold medal in her fifth Games, with shot put qualifying.

Black Ferns Sevens escape Olympic pool defeat with last-minute try
Michaela Blyde's hat-trick of tries has rescued the Black Ferns Sevens from shock defeat to Great Britain in their second pool outing at the Tokyo Olympics.
Hoping to improve on their silver medals at Rio 2016, the NZ women opened their account with an easy won over Kenya on Thursday afternoon, but quickly found themselves in a deep hole against their next rivals in the evening.
Uncharacteristic mistakes from the Kiwis saw the British capitalise with three early tries, all converted, for a 21-0 lead.
But New Zealand began to break down that deficit before halftime, with Blyde showing her gas for two quick tries to close within 21-12 at the break.
To complete their comeback, the Ferns probably needed to score next and Tyler Nathan-Wong obliged, taking a quick penalty tap on halfway and scything through the defence to score under the posts, then convert.
Now just two points down, they needed one more try, but time was running out. Their opportunity came, when Jasmine Joyce was shown a yellow card for offside, and the Ferns worked the ball round, looking for the overlap.
Unsurprisingly, victory was merely a matter of getting the ball to Blyde, who - not for the first time this year - sealed the late win with her third try of the day.
"There's not enough hand sanitiser in all of Japan to clean that up," reflected NZ veteran Ruby Tui afterwards, promising that the Ferns' tackling would improve before Friday.
They face Russian Olympic Committee in their final pool outing, before a quarter-final tomorrow night.
