    Magnificently done by Bruce Mouat!

    The perfect angle found by the GB skip and the British quartet are back in front.

    Could be a massive moment.

    Now then, there's the opportunity for a double takeout for Bruce Mouat which could see Great Britain get their two.

    Could go very right, it could also go very wrong...

    Bruce Mouat goes with some extra weight and opens things up in the house.

    Canada still lie one shot with one stone each left to throw.

    It's likely Bruce will have a draw for a one, with the way things are lying.

    All four British players are deep in discussion, going through the various options as Bruce Mouat prepares to deliver his penultimate stone of end six.

    "It's got to be very precise," says Bobby Lammie to one particular suggestion.

    It really is a game of millimetres.

    Curling can be so complex at times. When the house is packed with stones, as it is now, there are more angles and equations than a GCSE maths exam (or whatever they're called these days).

    Grant Hardie's second delivery clips the edge of a group of three inside the eight-foot ring and this one will take some working out.

    No wonder the two teams are taking their time.

    Watching the final as a Brit who has been living in Canada for the last 10 years, married to a Canadian... needless to say it's a little tense in the house right now!

    Halfway through end six, Canada are probably the happier with how the stones lie.

    They have big distance between their three yellow stones in the house, with just one red in there.

    That red stone is chipped out by Canada's Marc Kennedy, so work for Grant Hardie to do.

    He freezes on the closest yellow to the button but Canada still lie one.

    Away from the excitement of the curling, there's a bronze medal up for grabs in the men's ice hockey.

    Slovakia face reigning Olympic champions Finland at 19:40 GMT.

    The Finns, known as 'The Lions', have earned a medal at seven of the past 10 Games but can they make it eight? We'll keep you updated.

    Team GB's Jennifer Dodds spoke to BBC Sport during the interval: "It has been a really good game so far. I would probably say I'm more nervous now than any of my games whilst I was playing, I am not a good watcher!

    "The boys came out firing, set the stalls out early and getting two in the second end was massive. We have now got the hammer in the even ends, which is really important in curling."

    I think GB have come out and continued their play from the semi-final. They have definitely got another gear they can go, but the boys are playing well. They are sitting at 88% so far, they are on it.

    That was a massive miss from Brad Jacobs (in the fifth end). He wanted to make the double and blank this end out, but unfortunately he made the nose hit and took one point. That's big.

    Katie provided ring doughnuts for the live text team at the interval "because they look a bit like curling stones".

    Sweet treat safely devoured, we're about to get going again with the sixth end.

    GB have the hammer.

    The boys have got the Squares bars out.

    Hammy McMillan was telling me the lads brought a four-pack for each match in the Games. That's 11 matches, which is... a lot of cereal bars.

    Grant Hardie reckons the boys have got into Sour Patch Kids recently while competing in North America, so will have something along those lines for a quick carbs hit.

    That will replace dried mango. Apparently a bad dose of toothache after eating a whole pack at a recent competition has put vice-skip Hardie right off that.

    Every Winter Olympics we support all the GB curlers and, from your commentary, learn the rules of play. We just about 'get them' by the finals only to have to learn them all over again four years later!

    Three weeks ago my wife and I knew nothing about curling, but it's now one of our favourite things to watch. We've been buzzing about the final all week.

    Great choice of half-time tune in the arena - the main theme from Beverly Hills Cop.
