Live coverage of swimming heats, the British team's group match against the Netherlands in the men's hockey, and the women's team final in the gymnastics competition.
Sue Barker introduces live coverage of the women's 200m breaststroke and men's 200m individual medley swimming heats.
Boxing follows, where the focus is on the light flyweights and superheavy weights for the last of the first round action. For Britain's superheavyweight David Price, a win would take him straight to the quarter finals and one step away from a medal.
Britain faces a tough match against the Netherlands in the men's hockey, ranked third in the world and recently won the Olympic golf in Atlanta and Sidney, and Silver in Athens.
The medals are decided in the men's 77kg weightlifting, while the badminton competitions have reached the quarter final stage, and it is the start of the table-tennis team competitions, where a great atmosphere is expected for what is one of China's national sports.
Also featuring the highlights of the women's team final in the gymnastics competition.
