Great Britain's Aaron McKibbin has been knocked out at the quarter-finals stage in straight sets by China's Zhao Shuai.

McKibbin had a tough challenge playing against three-time Paralympic gold medallist Shuai and was unable to find his flow.

The Brit has previously won three bronze medals across three Paralympics in London, Rio and Tokyo.

Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid are circling around the court, taking shots early and again are rewarded with a break.

Oh – the British pair are getting just a little bit excited. A couple of loose errors, and Stephane Houdet is really stepping up now, drawing errors from Gordon Reid.

The French crowd roar their approval and they break again.

Edgy stuff.

GB's Zoe Newson secured a silver medal in the Para-powerlifting women’s -45kg category in Paris.

"I don’t really know how I’m feeling. Good, happy, emotional, a bit of everything," she said.

On her reaction to a successful challenge on her third lift, she said: "I didn’t realise, it didn’t come on the screen but we heard the crowd start cheering. Then we saw it on the screen and lost it. My boy and my fiancé are in the crowd so I got quite emotional."

She has previously won bronze at both the Rio and London Games, and on her experience this time round, she added: "It was very different to Tokyo but it was good. Once I get my first or second, I’m alright as I get a lot calmer. By my second or third, I’m waving to the crowd.

"It has been great. Paris has been a great Paralympics, I’m glad to come away with this."

There are plenty of medal opportunities still to come for ParalympicsGB as they look to add to 11 medals already won in Paris on Wednesday.

In the pool, Toni Shaw will race for a medal in the women's S9 100m freestyle final, while GB will also contest the mixed 4x100m freestyle relay.

At the Stade de France, wheelchair racer Sammi Kinghorn will hope to become the first non-Chinese athlete to win Para-athletics T53 100m gold for 20 years as she bids to add gold to her two silver already achieved at the 2024 Games (19:08).

Wheelchair fencer Dimitri Coutya will contest the men's foil category B gold medal bout against China's Feng Yanke (18:40).

Elsewhere, Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid are bidding for a place in the wheelchair tennis men's doubles final.

And Para-table tennis player Robert Davies is taking on Hungary's Endre Major for a place in the men's MS1 singles gold medal match.

This is more like it, and the pace they are playing at is fierce.

Alfie Hewett goes toe-to-toe with Stephane Houdet in his first service game, and frustration is beginning to show for the veteran Frenchman.

A lot of fire power coming from the Brits as Frederic Cattaneo is beaten by another winner. Break!

Ah no! Reid's service game is peppered with errors and we have a brace of breaks

We go on.

There are nine gold medals up for grabs in the Para-athletics this evening, with Great Britain's Sammi Kinghorn going for gold in the women's T53 100m final shortly after 7pm:

• 18:00 - Women's Shot Put F32 Final
• 18:04 - Women's 100m T36 Final
• 18:10 - Men's Shot Put F36 Final

• 19:58 - Men's 100m T11 Semi-Finals
• 20:45 - Women's 100m T37 Round 1

It is a very aggressive start by France's Frederic Cattaneo and Stephane Houdet, and the atmosphere is boisterous as they put the pressure on immediately. They quickly seize control and grab the first break.

It's a shaky start from Britain's Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid who have struggled to create any kind of momentum in these early exchanges, but their strategy of targeting Cattaneo is beginning to pay dividends. Break back secured.

The Brits hold to settle nerves finishing off with an audacious drop shot. Back on serve.

ParalympicsGB's Alice Tai, speaking to Channel 4 after securing a silver medal in the women's S8 women's 400m freestyle final: "[Gold medallist] Jessica Long is phenomenal, I knew it was going to be hard.

"I'm very happy with my time, I couldn’t have changed the way I swam. I’ve got a full collection now.

"Dave [her coach] is going to be telling me off for breathing into some of those turns, but he can't be too mad.

"I think i'm swimming better than expected and I am close to my time pre-amputation. I think I can go faster and I never thought I’d say that."

My favourite Sarah Storey stat from today:

The Briton won by 4.69 seconds from France's Heidi Gaugain, 27 years her junior.

Gaugain, 19, was born in November 2004 - by then Storey had already won 16 Paralympic medals, all of which came in Para-swimming.

Earlier, Sarah Storey extended her record as Great Britain's most-decorated Paralympian as she won her 18th career gold medal on day seven at Paris 2024.

Storey, 46, won the women's C5 road cycling time trial by more than more four seconds to secure ParalympicsGB's 31st gold medal of the Games.

It came 32 years after her first Paralympic medal in 1992.

It has already been a day of mixed fortunes for Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid in the men's wheelchair singles, with only Hewett progressing to the semi-finals.

They reunite in the doubles for their quest for gold and will face France's Stephane Houdet and Frederic Cattaneo...and the French crowd...for a spot in the final.

We are not expecting that from Alice Tai against one of the legends of the sport in Jessica Long.

Tai has not previously been known for her endurance prowess but she kept with Long for 300m before the American pulled clear.

It keeps up Long’s record of a gold at every Games since Athens.

So many silvers. Thanks to Alice Tai's latest podium GB are now up to 72 Paralympic medals at Paris 2024. Only China with 121 have more.

A brilliant swim by Great Britain's Alice Tai who pushes Jessica Long all the way, but the American goes up an extra gear at the death and ends up winning by 3.50 seconds.

Italy's Xenia Francesca Palazzo is third with GB's Brock Whiston fifth.

Fifty metres to go. Alice Tai of Great Britain and USA's Jessica Long can't be separated.

Alice Tai is improving, she's up to first at the halfway point, a smidge ahead of USA's Jessica Long.

Alice Tai is third after the first 50 metres. Top start.

Back to the pool and there are two Britons about to race in the women's S8 400m freestyle final - Brock Whiston and Alice Tai.

A little earlier today Great Britain's Fran Brown won silver in the women's C1-3 individual time trial.

Well a little earlier she revealed in a post on X that three days ago she dislocated her shoulder after "being hit by a car".

What a recovery to medal 72 hours later. "I had zero more to give to today so am stoked with silver," she added.

British team-mate Jaco van Gass won C3 3,000m individual pursuit gold earlier in the Games, just days after he too was also knocked off his bike.
