Imogen Clark, who finished second in her semi-final to qualify for the final, said: "I'm well surprised with that - I messed up my finish as well - I was gliding for days. So, in the final you never know.

"I'm loving it here - it's my first major championships senior or junior - I just want to swim fast and post some good times."

Sarah Vasey just missed out on the final and said: "This isn't the championships I've wanted personally, but I'm excited to get behind Imogen tomorrow night - I think she has a 29 (second race) in her."

That was brilliant from Imogen Clark. She'll be so chuffed with that, on her international debut.

Imogen Clark gets a new British record as she came second in a time of 30.04 to qualify for the final. She is beaten by Yuliya Efimova of Russia, who sets a new championship record of 29.66.

Sarah Vasey comes fifth in her race, but is only ninth fastest overall with only eight going through.

The afternoon's athletics programme is just about to getting underway.

Another lovely warm evening over there by the way...

Time for another couple of Britons and Sarah Vasey and Imogen Clark are bidding for places in the 50m breaststroke final. We've already had gold in the men's event tonight with Adam Peaty so can Vasey and Clark keep their medal hopes alive?

Watch as Ben Proud smashes the British and championship record as he storms in to the men's 50m freestyle final.

Sensational.

I thought James Guy spotted that finish perfectly well - but Laszlo Cseh absolutely nails it to beat him.

Nonetheless they both go through and it was a strong swim from Guy.

James Guy comes second, but that is enough to get himself into the final. Job done and he comes back tomorrow aiming for a medal. Laszlo Cseh of Hungary denies Guy the race win.

Guy second at 50m.

Next in the pool for Britain is James Guy, in his 100m butterfly semi-final.

Bad news for Kathryn Greenslade, who has missed out on a place in the final in the 200m backstroke. She came seventh in her race, but it was not enough.

James Stevenson: GOODNESS BEN PROUD!!! 21.11 That’s only two tenths off the world record! And he glided in!

Ben Proud, who has just smashed the British and European Championships record to reach the 50m freestyle final, says: "It felt good. I was very relaxed for the semi-final so to go 21.11 that's great.

"There's a few things I want to fix, so I'll come back tomorrow with them sorted and then it's all about the medals.

"I've got nothing to lose now - I've got the personal best - so I'll come back really relaxed, too.

"It's a very good time - I would have been happy with 21.5 - so once I fix the glide at the end I'll be in good shape."

Quick channel change. Jump over to BBC Two if you can. Thanks.

Tom: Wonder if Adam Peaty gets bored of being so good?

That start took my breath away. Wow. What an awesome start from Ben Proud.

He was so powerful in the water - no one got near him.

That's how to get yourself into the final. Take a bow Ben Proud, who storms through his 50m freestyle semi-final with a new British and European Championships record of 21.11 seconds. But Thomas Fannon will not be in the final after coming seventh in 22.14 seconds.

Two Brits in the pool at the moment - Thomas Fannon and Ben Proud in the 50m freestyle semi-finals.

I would never have said it out loud beforehand, but Adam Peaty was pretty much nailed on to win that 50m breaststroke gold.

So instead of watching the pool or the clock, I kept my eye on Adam’s nan Mavis and his mum Caroline.

Prior to the buzzer, they both looked a bag of nerves and even had her hands in a prayer position.

But once the race had started, the family willed Adam on with their screams of encouragement.

Never in doubt eh Mavis?!
