Kenny on course for final

Great Britain's Jason Kenny edged further towards riding for Olympic gold in the men's cycling sprint on day five of action at the London 2012 velodrome.

The 24-year-old from Bolton won the opening bout of his best-of-three contest with Trinidad's Njisane Nicholas Phillip, leading from the start before being untroubled as the sprint began entering the last of the three laps.

In the second semi-final, three-time world champion Gregory Bauge of France was able to round Australia's Shane Perkins and win by half a bike length to take a 1-0 lead.
