    Canadian umpire Darek Mikita will not be on Will Bayley's Christmas card list. Having already given the Brit a yellow card, they have another disagreement over a point at 3-3.

    Bayley however refocuses, pushes on and claims game four 11-7.

    We are all tied up at 2-2 - whoever wins this game wins the gold medal.

    Earlier this evening, Great Britain's Maisie Summers-Newton won bronze in the women's S6 400m freestyle.

    "I'm chuffed with that. Going into that, I was going in third so my expectation was just to try and come away with a medal," she told Channel 4.

    "This season we've definitely been working on the [individual medley] and the breaststroke and I think that's kind of showed in the races that I've done so far but I think training like that for the [individual medley] and the [breaststroke], it kind of complements the front crawl in a way, I've always got that fitness.

    "Today, I just wanted to come in, enjoy it, soak in the atmosphere and it was pretty near my [personal best], two seconds, which isn't a lot over [400m], so I'm pleased with that and to get another medal out of my second Paralympic Games, I'm really really pleased."

    On a week in which she has also won two gold medals, she added: "Just spectacular. I imagined it would be amazing but never this amazing. I just remember the first day walking out and I was so nervous but at the same time, having that crowd and that cheer, it just made me feel so happy.

    "It's just been amazing, definitely a couple of weeks I'll never ever forget. I couldn't thank everyone enough for coming along and supporting, my coach and everyone, just thank you."

    Will Bayley is like a terrier, he doesn't give up. Trailing 5-0 in game two, he fights back again to get in the lead.

    Clearly pumped up, he has been shown a yellow card by the umpire for misbehaviour - if he gets another one, it's a point penalty.

    But Bayley puts that out of his mind, and after three missed game points, Shao goes long after a lengthy rally and Bayley takes game two 14-12.

    All square, and a huge fist pump and roar from Bayley!

    British wheelchair fencer Dimitri Coutya has won a gold medal in the men's individual foil B category and a silver in the men's foil team at the Paris Paralympic Games.

    The 26-year-old, who trains at the University of Bath, is guaranteed another medal when he takes on Thailand's Visit Kingmanaw in the final of the men's epee B at the Grand Palais later today.

    "Fencing’s one of the most incredible sports to watch. The style of the fencing really reflects the individual quite heavily. There's so many different ways of creating and solving a problem for your opponents.

    "There's no one way to do things. It's always incredible to see how someone approaches a match, how strategies evolve within the match. You fence one person one time, it doesn't necessarily mean they're going to be the same next time.

    "It's essentially a fight and if you really look into it, the amount of tactics and the amount of preparation and the amount of focus and that room for creativity is really astounding.

    "That, combined with how explosive it is, is always an incredible thing to watch."

    Iran face Bosnia-Herzegovina tonight, aiming for their third consecutive Paralympic gold medal in the men's sitting volleyball.

    One of their star players in this golden era and the current squad is 36-year-old Morteza Mehrzad - who, at eight foot one, also happens to be the second tallest man in the world.

    It has not been an easy Games for Mehrzad, who had to sleep on the floor in the athletes' village in the opening days as the bed was not long enough for him.

    But that has not affected his performances on court as an outside hitter, responsible for scoring many of Iran's winning points.

    Iran face Bosnia at South Paris Arena at 18.30 BST.
