    Men's 200m T42 final (23:08 BST)

    Great Britain's Richard Whitehead is definitely the man to beat in the men's 200m.

    If any of his competitors thought they would have it easy, then Whitehead showed them who was in charge during the heat as he set a new Paralympic record of 23:07 seconds.

    He goes in the final shortly and you can relive his record-breaking performance in the heats by watching the video here.

    Richard Whitehead is a superstar - a 40-year-old superstar.

    He was born without both legs and was originally a marathon runner, he switched to sprinting for London 2012 where he won the 200m T42 final in spectacular style.

    He's back to defend his title, four years older - four years wiser? Four years better?

    We're about to find out - at 23:08 BST to be precise.

    Alicja Fiodorow of Poland takes silver and Teresinha de Jesus Correia of Brazil bronze.

    GB's Polly Maton comes a respectable fifth - not bad for a 16-year-old.

    I think Jess (Applegate) is the one who's not really happy

    She feels like she has been looked over and there is a new golden girl in town in Bethany Firth and she can't do anything about it.

    Lee Pearson insisted he could do no more after starting his Paralympic dressage campaign.

    The 10-time Paralympic champion, who was ParalympicsGB's flag bearer at Wednesday’s opening ceremony, topped the standings in the team test event 1B - a compulsory competition that will count towards overall scores when deciding the medals later in the Games.

    On horse Zion, an 11-year old bay gelding, he scored 75.280% - just ahead of nearest rival, Austria’s Pepo Puch, a gold medallist at London 2012.

    Pearson - who won three golds at the last World Equestrian Games - is now in a solid position to add to his career medal tally in Wednesday’s championship test.

    He said: “The horse gave me everything he possibly could. He’s a big horse but I felt it was balanced and flowing and I love him to bits. It was amazing, it was brilliant, I feel like it was the best test he’s done.”

    Men's doubles second round

    As summers go, Gordon Reid has had a pretty special one.

    Not only did he win the men's wheelchair singles and doubles title at Wimbledon, he is also having a fine, if busy, time in Rio having moved into the last 16 of the singles earlier today.

    He and British team-mate Alfie Hewett go in the second round of the wheelchair tennis men's doubles against the South Korean pairing of Ho Won Im and Ha Gel Lee.

    To get you in the mood for Reid's next appearance, relive him winning the Wimbledon wheelchair singles title with this video below.

    The contrasting emotions of winning and coming second are shown as Bethany Firth and Jessica-Jane Applegate are interviewed at the same time after winning gold and silver respectively in the women's 200m freestyle S14 final.

    Race winner Beth Firth tells Channel 4: "I'm so thankful this all came together. I was not feeling good, but the team have supported me and got me through it."  

    A tearful Jessica-Jane Applegate says: "I'm not going to lie, I'm completely gutted. I came here to defend my title. I take my hat off to Beth."

    One athlete remains to throw in the F51 club throw and that is GB's world record holder, world champ and European champ Jo Butterfield.

    Her compatriot Kylie Grimes is in third - Butterfield will need to bump her out of the top three if she's to take a medal.

    Women's 200m freestyle S14 final

    What a swim. Absolutely incredible from Bethany Firth who storms clear early in the women's 200m freestyle S14 and extends her lead as the race goes on.

    She finishes three-and-a-half seconds clear of any other swimmer, in a time of two minutes 3.30 seconds, a new Paralympic record.

    Four years ago she was representing Ireland and won the S14 100m freestyle race, before moving to become part of the British team for 2016.

    This is her second gold in Rio after she had earlier retained her S14 100m title.

    Britain's Olivia Breen is a talented woman.

    The 20-year-old is currently competing in the T38 long jump final, but she'll also be having a crack in the T35-38 4x100m relay, and came seventh in the T38 100m final.

    Livvy, as she's known, has cerebral palsy. She would be rated an outsider for a medal in the long jump and she's failed her first attempt.

    Richard Chiassaro finished strongly in his heat and he has also emerged as a medal contender this year.

    Can Britain claim two medals in the final?
