    GB's Louise Sugden has narrowly fallen short of a spot on the podium in the up to 79kg final of the Para-powerlifting.

    The Tokyo bronze medallist attempted to lift 134kg in the third and final round but couldn't complete it. Her biggest lift was 132kg, which she produced in the second round, resulting in a fifth-place finish.

    China's Miaoyu Han won gold with a lift of 154kg, breaking the world and Paralympic record in dominant fashion.

    'Recovery in my mental health makes me proud' - Taipublished at 17:01 British Summer Time 7 September

    Women's S8 100m butterfly

    Alice Tai says she is "so proud" of her recovery from some of the "worst" moments in her mental health, prior to winning two golds, a silver and bronze at the Paralympics.

    The 25-year-old, who was born in Poole, won her first individual Paralympic title on day three at La Defense Arena. She will be competing for a third gold medal in the women’s S8 100m butterfly shortly.

    After an emotional moment on the podium with her gold medal, Tai reflected back to the Rio Paralympics and the journey she has been on since.

    In 2016, despite winning gold in the 4x100m medley, the swimmer revealed that it was one of her lowest points as she struggled with undiagnosed ADHD.

    "I'm not going to lie, Rio sucked," Tai told BBC Sport. "My mental health was the worst it's ever been and I didn't want to be there, I didn't want to be alive to be honest.

    "To have made such a recovery in my mental health and to have so much surgery over the last three years, I'm so proud of myself and so thankful to the team that support me."

    What a showdown this has become.

    The momentum does indeed swing as Tokito Oda now finds himself a game away from the gold.

    This is a huge test for both players.

    Every point for each player is being greeted with a roar. Alfie Hewett has backed himself into a bit of a corner with Tokito Oda on the verge of breaking him.

    Oda's power takes the racquet out of Hewett’s hand.

    Is this a crucial momentum swing?

    Golds for Zhang Meng and Yang Hong among the first three races tonight have given China an unassailable lead over Great Britain in the swimming medal table.

    Hungary's Bianka Pap came home well in silver and Belgium's Tatyana LeBrun moves up to take the bronze after Netherlands' Lisa Kruger was disqualified.

    GB's Faye Rogers comes fourth.

    Men’s singles final - *Hewett 2-6 6-4 5-4 Oda

    How dearly would Alfie Hewett want a break here?

    Tokito Oda dumps a volley into the net and it brings up the first match point - which quite frankly after that first grimace, not many thought we would see this.

    A slice from Hewett agonisingly floats wide, and with it Oda appeals to the crowd to get behind him.

    Hewett repeats to himself "just two more points" but just phenomenal grit and determination from Oda - he holds, and he will make Hewett serve for glory.

    Let’s be honest - it would not be a British tennis match of any description if there was no drama.

    Alfie Hewett comes back from 15-30 down, even the umpire has to clamber down from his lofty heights to check on a query by Tokito Oda.

    Oda tries to the paint the lines, and does the tennis equivalent of colouring over the edges.

    Hewett is one game away.

    Faye Rogers is going for the second gold of her outstanding Paralympics debut in the women's SM10 200m individual medley.

    The 21-year-old has just entered La Defense Arena to huge cheers from the British fans in the crowd.

    And off we go...

    Men’s singles final - *Hewett 2-6 6-4 4-3 Oda

    Now then - is this where experience will outweigh the nerves?

    That is some big returning of serve from Tokito Oda, and the pressure means a double fault on an all-or-nothing second serve from Hewett.

    Nervy stuff from Hewett - and he holds, and does a more than passable lawnmower celebration.

    Oda is a Grand Slam champion but how will his nerves be serving to stay in contention for a gold medal?

    Hewett is allowing the ball to bounce twice more now, slowing the furious pace of Oda down, and builds himself back into this game.

    Oda hangs on, but Hewett still has the slim advantage.

    Rogers' 'unbelievable' journey from car crash to goldpublished at 16:34 British Summer Time 7 September

    Women's SM10 200m individual medley final

    Three years ago, British Para-swimmer Faye Rogers was seriously injured in a car crash, the day before she was due to link up with new coach Patrick Miley, father of former Scottish swimmer Hannah, for the first time.

    She had already tried out for the Olympic team after taking up competitive swimming aged nine.

    The 21-year-old, who lives in Aberdeen, has surpassed her expectations to top the podium in the women’s S10 100m butterfly and will go for gold again in the SM10 individual medley at La Defense Arena shortly.

    "It's unbelievable," Rogers told BBC Scotland. "It's three years as of now since my accident and it's just such a lovely full circle.

    "Being told you're never going to be able to compete again, or even swim properly, as someone whose life revolved around swimming was really, really tough.

    "I'm really proud of myself for bouncing back from that. My coach, Patrick Miley, has played a huge part. He supported me since day one."

    La Defense Arena has been one of the most atmospheric arenas at these Olympics and Paralympics, hosting the swimming competitions.

    It was here that Leon Marchand shook the rafters with French cheers, and where in the last week ParalympicsGB have won a remarkable 30 medals.

    But this is its final night in its current guise. Next week, the pool and temporary stands will be disassembled and La Defense will return to its usual use - a rugby stadium, home of Racing 92.

    Goodness, there are lot of tense faces right now in the players' boxes.

    Alfie Hewett gets the first hold of the decider - and how pivotal will that prove to be?

    This is surely a must-win game for Tokito Oda. Just as Hewett gained confidence in coming from behind, suddenly his racquet gets a bit tight and Oda is swinging a bit more freely.

    The Japanese 18-year-old holds.

    We've had a bit of history with Oleg Cretul of Moldova winning his country's first medal of these Games.

    Cretul won bronze in the -90kg J1, defeating Turkey's Yasin Cimilier to add to the gold he won back in 2008 and his silver from Athens four years earlier.

    He also competed for his nation at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.

    It is day 10 of the 2024 Paralympics, day 10 of the swimming competition, and most importantly, it's my birthday. Yes, thank you, I've had a lovely day.

    There's nowhere I'd rather have my birthday party more than here at La Defense Arena, and the only present I want is four more GB medals.

    Faye Rogers goes in the women's SM10 200m individual medley at 16:38 (all times BST), before Brock Whiston and Alice Tai compete in the S8 100m butterfly at 17:07.

    British interest in the pool concludes at 18:23 with Stephen Clegg in the men's S12 100m butterfly. If all the Brits medal, the swimmers will have earned 34 in total at Paris 2024.

    While this doesn't touch the record set in Rio 2016 - 47 - GB have already surpassed the number of golds they won in Brazil.

    Hewett breaks - againpublished at 16:20 British Summer Time 7 September

    Men’s singles final - *Hewett 2-6 6-4 2-1 Oda

    Does no-one want to hold? Although it will mean whoever does hold will have a meaningful advantage in this tense decider.

    Tokito Oda just clobbers the ball so powerfully, he sometimes lacks the control and with no elements to affect the ball’s flight now it is pretty much an indoor clay court final, Alfie Hewett gets the benefit and he breaks right back.
