    ParalympicsGB's Poppy Maskill, speaking to Channel 4 after securing a silver medal in the women's SM14 200m individual medley: "I was trying to see what I’ve got in me and trying my hardest. The breaststroke is my hardest one and I needed to create a lead or i'd be overtaken.

    "I couldn't see how close it was. I was trying my hardest and I could hear the crowd.

    "It's hard work and i'm going back to nap and that’s all i'm doing basically."

    Zoe Newson looks like she can't believe it as her challenge is successful - she holds her hands to her face and has an expression that is a mixture of delight and disbelief.

    Her 109kg lift was initially ruled unsuccessful by the judges but the VAR/DRS-style review system ruled in her favour.

    The GB coach accompanying her then lifts her up in celebration - it's a silver medal after two bronzes in London and Rio.

    Drama as GB's Zoe Newson wins silver after a challenge.

    She needed to lift 109kg to claim it and initially seemed to have fouled, with two red lights coming up. But the Brit appealed and the decision has been overruled.

    Newson finishes second behind Guo Lingling who completes a world record lift of 122kg. Turkey's Nazmiye Muralti takes bronze with her coach celebrating news of the medal with a cartwheel.

    The Dutch pair hold on to their serve comfortably, but not without a couple of cheeky exchanges of ‘any backhand you can do, I can do better’ as Andy Lapthorne draws cheers from the crowd with a Vink-like backhand.

    Lapthorne continues to have a nightmare on his own serve as the Dutch break him to love again.

    It feels a long way back if the Brits want to get the gold.

    Men's SM14 200m individual medley

    Four-time Paralympic gold medallist Ellie Simmonds speaking to Channel 4 on why the ParalympicsGB team excel in the S14 events: "Great Britain are dominant in the S14. I think it's because of our legacy of great swimmers and how Britain support our swimmers, who have intellectual impairments.

    "Also you have that inspiration of S14 swimmers [from the past] and so many people today will be inspired by them."

    The air is peppered with the pairs shouting orders to each other for who should go for the ball, and Andy Lapthorne gets the crowd to ramp up the support as the British pair break straight back.

    The Dutch are like circling sharks on the court, whereas Slade is perhaps the one who is the most stop-start of the quartet.

    A chance to get their noses in front for the first time in the match goes begging as a Niels Vink backhand keeps the Dutch ahead.
