    It's truly nerve-jangling here - GB looked in a great position when they led by seven points but Turkey came right back into it.

    Terry Bywater's late basket means we are into overtime.

    The crowd are getting behind both teams and are loving the excitement.

    They are now up and, erm, cycling in the men's road race B, for visually impaired athletes.

    There was a short delay of around 15 minutes. 

    Look out for the progress of Neil Fachie and pilot Pete Mitchell as well as GB team-mates Steve Bate and Adam Duggleby.

    Britain have a seven-point lead at 63-56 with two minutes 27 seconds remaining, courtesy of a three-pointer from Terry Bywater. Can the Turkey time out prompt a late response?

    Tandem B road race

    We were expecting to see the men's and women's tandem B road race get underway at 17:00 BST but it's currently flagged as delayed, presumably because of the crash that occurred in the earlier race. 

    We'll keep you posted on developments. 

    Neil Fachie and pilot Pete Mitchell plus Steve Bate and pilot Adam Duggleby go in the men's race while Lora Turnham and pilot Corrine Hall ride in the women's.

    Jodie Bywater (wife of GB co-captain Terry) and son Benjamin proudly display their specially-made flag ahead of the Game.

    "I couldn't eat this morning because I'm so nervous," Jodie told me.

    "I just hope it won't be the same as four years ago [when GB lost out to USA for bronze] because we will all be even more devastated."

  13. Carnage on the roadspublished at 16:46 British Summer Time 17 September 2016

    There's been a quite dramatic finish to the men's C4-5 road race. 

    Alistair Donohoe of Australia and Yehor Dementyev of Ukraine were both sprinting for the line with 100m to go.

    There was some nudging and elbowing going on in that battle, and it caused both riders to crash into each other just before the line. 

    Dementyev lay on the road looking in some pain, while Donohoe got to his feet and crossed the line without his bike.

    It's taken a while for the judges to analyse exactly what happened, but we believe Dementyev has been disqualified while Daniel Abraham Gebru of the Netherlands has been awarded the gold.

    It's anxious on court but it's equally tense for the BBC Radio 5 Live commentary team of Andy Stevenson and GB women's duo Robyn Love and Jude Hamer.

    "GB have been strong defensively," Robyn told me. "They just need to get more of their shots in.

    "At the break they can refocus their energies on getting those scores. Finishing with that four-point play at the end of the half should give them a real boost.

    "They can go on and do this."

    A dramatic four-point play by Gaz Choudhry means GB trail Turkey by just one point (30-29) at half-time in their bronze medal match.

    Choudhry, who was part of the 2012 squad which finished fourth, was fouled while shooting a three-pointer. The shot went in, as did his bonus free throw with just 1.1 seconds left in the half.

    We already knew that Vicky Jenkins' archery bronze medal in her Paralympic debut was an impressive achievement but it's only in her post-event interview where it becomes completely clear...

    Jenkins tells me on BBC Radio 5 Live that she has been in hospital since Monday, was only released last night and was very close to not competing at all today.

    "I had finished training and went for a sleep and then when I woke up I couldn't move," she says.

    "My blood glucose had just plummeted out of nowhere and I have a neurological condition which impacts my movement which became even worse.

    "It was a scary time, but I've been looked after so well by the GB medics and the hospital here in Rio - without them I wouldn't have made it to the competition."
