Don't know who the King Edward is (commentator), but just said that GBR is 2nd in the Yngling after been dead last at the previous mark

Richard Simmonds is doing the commentary with Shirley.

Sounds like the Yngling girls have fought back to second after being last at the first mark!

Sounds like good news from the Yngling course though- from 11th at the final windward mark to 2nd at the finish!

Gutting. That can't be fun. Well done to the Greek guy though. And most of the top seeds well down the rankings too.

The long lens cameras do foreshorten things horrilbly

Who's the guy in commentary box with Shirley?

Greeks won the race, Ben Ainslie has finished ninth - make that tenth. He lead by 100 metres at the windward mark but a shift and drop in wind half way down the final run let through 9 other sailors.

Qingdao is going to form!

It would appear that Ainslie is not out of the lead group - Greece leading
