Prashanth will be competing second in the final and is looking to equal (or better) his bronze medal from London 2009.
10:00pm AEDST (1:00pm Rotterdam time) should be when the action kicks off.
The start list for the final (plus the other finals startlists) is here.
You can follow a live feed from the event here. It worked very well last night!

The boys have marched out - Prash is definitely the shortest one there. By a lot! He'll once again be facing stiff competition from Smith of Great Britain and Berki of Hungary.
Berki's up first, then our little fella.
Here we go! Works extremely quickly but maintains good form throughout. Leg form erros going into the dismount but sticks it.
"Circles, to cscissors to HS, russians between pommels, stockli on one pommel , stockli, spindle on the side, Wu Guonian (high), russians on the end, Magyar, Sivado, 2/1 pirouette to dismount. Good. D : 6.6; E : 8.966 ; 15.566"
European commentators call him "spectacularrrrrr!!!" Got a handshake from the Slovenian as he left the podium.
15.566 goes into second. (6.6 a-score). Aussie supporters in the crowd are cheering and chanting!
Louis Smith bumps Prash into 3rd... can he cling on for the bronze???
Results are in...
PRASHANTH SELLATHURAI WINS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BRONZE!!!
Big hug and kind words from Berki. Prashanth defends his bronze from London!
WOOOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!
