Bad news for Great Britain's Brodie Williams and Luke Greenbank in the men's 200m backstroke semi-finals.

Greenbank was fifth in his semi-final and is definitely out, while Williams is unlikely to race in the final as he is only a reserve after not qualifying automatically.

Georgia Davies has said herself that the 100m is the one she focuses on because it's an Olympic event, and because it helps her prepare for the relays.

But I don't think she should be too disappointed with silver. She's swam a great race and she's come on so much in the past few years. She's become much more confident since she started training in Turkey and she's finally getting the rewards for all her hard work.

Ben Proud's swim was perfect, for him. It was so close to his personal best and his start was phenomenal.

He was always putting Govorov under pressure but he just pulled it back. It's a great silver medal for Ben.

Proud is been competing consistently at every meet, and he's got a good set up in Turkey and a good coach, so there's more of him to come.

Already there have been two British medals won in the pool in this session. Ben Proud picked up the first of them, with Andriy Govorov finishing strongly to secure gold in the men's 50m butterfly.

It'll be tight to make the final for Luke Greenbank and Brodie Williams. They finished fourth (Williams) and fifth (Greenbank), and will have to wait for the outcome of the second semi to see if they go through.

Fourth for Brodie Williams and fifth for Luke Greenbank in their semi-final. They face an anxious wait to see if they will make it into the final. Williams' time is 1:58.66, just ahead of Greenbank's effort of 1:58.84.

Luke Greenbank is third at the 100m mark.

Fast and furious in the pool and next comes the semi-finals of the men's 200m backstroke. Two Brits go in the first semi-final - Brodie Williams and Luke Greenbank so can they get themselves into the final? Stay tuned.

British silver medallist Georgia Davies speaking to BBC: "I am pleased with that swim and to be on the podium again.

"I'm a little disappointed to go slower than I did in the relay. I was hoping I could repeat that time again but I know in the final it is about racing for positions so I'm pleased."

Two gold medals already won at these European Championships for Georgia Davies, but she has to settle for a silver in the 100m backstroke.

It is a reverse of the 50m result as Russian Anastasiia Fesikova, who was second to Davies at the shorter distance, takes the gold.

Great Britain's Georgia Davies is second, seven hundredths of a second off first at the halfway point.

British silver medallist Ben Proud speaking to the BBC: "I did what I needed to do. I am quite happy. It's not far off my best. He is the world record holder and these are the results I am kind of expecting.

"I am happy. I definitely trained more for the freestyle. The butterfly is one that comes more naturally to me. I do love the event so if I can get even faster, I'll be really happy."

It has already been a golden championships for Georgia Davies, who won the 50m backstroke and also helped Britain to gold in the 4x100m mixed medley relay, and now she goes in the 100m backstroke final.

But she has work to do as she qualified sixth fastest, with Russia's Anastasiia Fesikova, a silver medallist in the 50m event, qualifying quickest.

We said it was between two men and it was. Great Britain's Ben Proud made a fantastic start, but Ukraine's world record holder Andriy Govorov finished superbly to take the gold, with Proud having to settle for the silver.

Oleg Kostin of Russia takes the bronze.

Golovin's time is a new championship record of 22.48, three tenths faster than Proud.

Ben Proud needs to stick to his race plan. He needs to concentrate on his start and put pressure on Andriy Govorov. This is effectively a two-horse race.
