Into the water and out of a shadow. Matty Lee and his partner Noah Williams won a fine gold medal for England via some considerable pain and difficulty in the 10m synchro diving on Friday night.

As a home pairing, and with Lee the reigning Olympic champion from his previous work with Tom Daley, they were the favourites and indeed led through three of the six rounds.

But the drama and uncertainty came in the fourth, when Williams suffered severe cramp during his dive. That simultaneously allowed the Canadian duo of Rylan Mackenzie Wiens and Nathan Milner Zsombor-Murray to snatch the top spot and also raised questions over whether Williams was fit enough to get it back.
