10.25pm - Claire Harvey is already looking ahead to the classification phase, which sees GB play twice more.

If they win the first on Tuesday night they'll play-off for fifth and sixth on Thursday, while if they lose it will be seventh or eight on the same day.

Another big day tomorrow, Ross Wilson plays for a bronze medal in the morning, the GB volleyball men look to finish their group campaign on a high and first-up, I'll be in the Olympic Stadium to see Stephen Osborne from Longfield near Gravesend in 100m action.

Hoping it's going to be a Multi-Medal Monday.

See you in the morning.

8.10pm - Despite a brave battle from GB, newcomers to this stage remember, Japan win in straight sets.

GB do still have a classification match to look forward to on Tuesday to determine seventh and eighth place.

I'll be back later to let you know what Claire Harvey made of it.

7.43pm - Japan lead 2-0 after completing a dramatic 25-21 win in set two.

7.38pm - This second set is going be make or break for GB. Locked at 18-18 and so tense.

7.15pm - Here just in time to see GB lose the first set 25-11 against Japan.

Great crowd though, and I think points are celebrated more when GB are behind than winning, which is great.

Japan look like they're in the zone, but hopefully GB can break up their momentum in set two.

6.51pm - Will had plenty to say after his defeat.

Ok, I gotta dash to volleyball, I'm going to miss the start sadly. :(

5.45pm - No gold for Will Bayley.... he lost 3-1 to the big German, which is no disgrace, as he's now won medals at seven straight Games.

Bayley on the floor in tears. Inconsolable.

5.40pm - With the help of a couple of net cords and a few slices of good fortune Wollmert takes the third 11-5.

Only needs one more to take gold.

5.33pm - Bayley levels at one set all. 11-4. He got on a roll after Wollmert honestly gave up a point after a shot clipped the side, not the edge.

It would have been 5-5, and the officials thought it was, but Wollmert made it 6-4 to Bayley who never looked back.

5.25pm - Bayley loses the first set 11-8 against the vastly experienced German whose serves are causing our man problems.

5.10pm - Korea and Norway seal the first two golds of the session and Will Bayley is up next, will it be GB or Germany to win the next.

Jochen Wollmert is 47 years old and already has one Paralympic gold after winning in Beijing four years ago.

Bayley is however World No2, ranked above Wollmert.

This is going to be tasty.... and so is his reception.

4.05pm - You know you're at the business end of a tournament when you turn up to find they've taken half the tables away.

You see it at the Crucilble snooker and now we're seeing it here. Four tables in the middle of the hall. All eyes on them.

It's filling up nicely and I reckon Will Bayley is going to get some pretty vocal support when his game is on around 5.15pm.

3.30pm - Netra Rana said he really enjoyed playing his part in a historic win for GB but no celebrating tonight. He has his game face on still and only thinking about Germany tomorrow.

Dover-born Charlie Walker admitted the second set was tense, and that's coming from a bloke who defused bombs for the British Army. He says 'taking on the Germans at anything is always interesting.'

Thoroughly enjoying watching the sport but I'll not stick around for Slovenia v Brazil.

I have a gold medal to see won or lost by our man Bayley.

3.15pm - Far more enjoyable third set, which GB won to complete a historic victory in straight sets and, barring a miracle, secure a place in the quarter-finals, nomatter what they do against Germany tomorrow.

2.50pm - Excruciating tension is about the only thing that could quieten this crowd and it did get tense but GB lead by two sets. 25-19 was enough to do it but the Moroccans did not give up.

The game is not over by any means, but GB have a great chance of taking the place in the quarter-finals.

2.20pm - Historic first set win for GB. They took it 25-20 to mark the first time a GB team, male or female, has won a set at a Paralympic Games.

Two more needed to all but guarantee a place in the last eight.

1.59pm - I cannot tell you how loud the reception for the GB team has been. Our of this world. Just breathtakingly loud.

Must-win game for both teams this. GB win and they should sneak through to the quarter-finals, irrespective of the result against Germany tomorrow.

10am - What shall we call it? Super Sunday? Well time will tell.

Another big day at the ExCeL Arena for me, and for Kent.

I'll be watching the GB men's sitting volleyball team go in their MUST WIN game against Morocco.

GB have lost their two opening games against the might of Russia and Egypt, but with just one more game to come against Germany tomorrow.

Why are we there? Because there are three guys with Kent connections in the team.... two military men, Netra Rana a Folkestone-based Gurkha and Charlie Walker a Dover-born former bomb disposal expert, and a former international at volleyball and beach volleyball, Richard Dobell, raised in Beckenham.

They are off at 2pm and the noise should prepare my ears nicely for what is to follow at 5.15pm when Will Bayley (pictured) goes for table tennis gold.

The 24-year-old from Tunbridge Wells secured at least a silver with a dramatic semi-final victory last night and is ranked higher than his opponent in the final, German Jochen Wollmert.

Could Will bring back the first Kent gold medal of London 2012? Here's hoping he can.

And to round off a spectacular weekend, Claire Harvey is back in action with the GB women's sitting volleyball team at 7pm against Japan.

The GB skipper, from Ashford, will be looking to put the defeats in their opening two games behind her and help secure a historic victory.
