    Jones wins gold

    Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, Mikey Jones has dedicated his gold medal to his late father:

    "It feels amazing to win, it's something I didn't think was possible and I'm really happy it's happened.

    "I want to thank my parents for their support - my father sadly passed away with 58 days to go to Rio so it's not been the easiest build up but this race is for him.

    "In some ways it made me more focused - I thought about how he supported me all these years and he would want me to swim my best and win for him."

    Men's S12 100m backstroke

    A strong start off the dive from Clegg but he's late at the 50m turn. 

    The swimmers here are hard to make out amongst all that splash but it's Ukraine's Sergii Klippert who takes gold in 59.77 seconds. 

    Azerbaijan's Raman Salei follows for silver and American Tucker Dupree the bronze with Clegg, who is the younger brother of T11 sprint double Paralympic champion Libby, finishes strong in fifth.

  5. Swimming classifications explainedpublished at 22:44 British Summer Time 14 September 2016

    Swimming has a mix of letters and numbers so it's a bit of a head scratcher compared to athletics but we've got all the knowledge you need. 

    The letters represent the stroke the athletes will be competing so SB means breaststroke and SM means individual medley while S represents the freestyle, backstroke and butterfly events. 

    The numbers are similar to athletics where they represent the impairment group. 

    Remember, the higher the number, the lower the impairment.

    Cockroft wins gold

    Tanni Grey-Thompson
    11-time Paralympic champion on BBC Radio 5 live

    "Hannah said after the 100m that she didn't know what she had to do to break the world record. What she had to do is race the 100m as she raced the first hundred of the 400m.

    "Adenegan and Halko are 15 and 16 years old - Hannah isn't an old athlete by any means but I think it's over this distance that she'll have more pressure in the next year or so.

    "Come 2017 and the worlds, the 400m is going to be really interesting."

    Phew. That was quite a 20 minute period for GB!

    They've added eight medals in the pool and on the track - three gold, four silver and two bronze.

    Women's T34 400m final

    Hannah Cockroft has told BBC Radio 5 live's Jeanette Kwakye what drove her to a world record gold medal:

    "This feels pretty awesome - I felt really good on the warm-up track today and I've got to say thanks to Samantha Kinghorn for doing a few laps with me," she said.

    "Thanks to Rich Chiassaro too - I had a few problems with my chair and he's like my handyman so when I panic he just sits calmly and fixes my chair.

    "You know what? The 400m has always secretly been my favourite event but we've never had it so I hope for a world record, I knew I could go under the minute mark and I did!

    "This race is hard now, there are people here pushing me all the way, it's not easy now and no offence to Kare Adenegan but my drive is that I don't want a 15-year-old to beat me."

    Andy Lapthorne has a bit of work to do here after losing the opening set of his quad singles semi-final against Dylan Alcott of Australia 6-3.

    Lapthorne made a slow start and trailed throughout the set but there is plenty of time to go.

    What a race!

    GB's Bethany Firth, who has already won two golds in Rio, is neck and neck with Spain's Michelle Alonso Morales with 25m to go.

    Alonso just pulls ahead, and looks like she's going to smash the world record, but doesn't quite make it. She finishes in 1:12.62 to take a Paralympic record. 

    Firth settles for silver, while Magda Toeters of the Netherlands wins bronze.

    "That was a sensational race - Aaron Moores was leading throughout but then in the last few metres Scott Quin just put on the turbos and looked like he was almost going to touch him out!

    "A tremendous race and another one-two Great Britain procession inside 20 minutes."

    Amazing effort from Scott Quin to take silver but I guess his arms just weren't long enough? 

    He falls into second by a fingertip with just three hundredths of a second between him and his rival Aaron Moores. 

    He looks happy with that though. 

    And he should be. What a finish from the two Brits.

    Moores goes out strong to touch first at the turn but his team mate Scott Quin comes back at him.

    Moores stretches out to take the gold in 1:06.67. 

    And Quin consolidates to touch in second for the silver medal.

    Team Reid have turned into Team Lappo this evening at the Olympic Tennis Centre.

    While Gordon beat Frenchman Stephane Houdet to reach the men's singles semi-finals earlier, they have now switched allegiances for the day's final match and are making their presence felt.

    They'll need to protect their voices a bit though, Reid is back in action in Thursday's men's doubles with Alfie Hewett before the two players contest the singles final on Friday.

    Andy Lapthorne and Dylan Alcott are going with serve in their gold medal quads match...

    Britain's Aaron Moores broke the world record for the SB14 100m breaststroke at the world championships in Glasgow last year. 

    The only person to come close to his time of 1:06.33 is his compatriot and friend Scott Quin, who set a new Paralympic record of 1:06.65 in the heats this morning. 

    They're up next in the pool.
