Aileen McGlynn took a silver in the women’s B 1000m time trial, pipped to gold by more than a second by the Netherlands’ Larissa Klaassen.

There is also a guaranteed medal in the C3 pursuit after Jaco Van Gass smashed the long-standing world record to set up a final with GB’s Finn Graham.
Meanwhile, at the pool Tully Kearney is looking strong ahead of the final of the S5 freestyle after setting out her stall in the heats.
Kearney, who took silver in the 200m freestyle, was two seconds faster than her nearest rival, GB’s Suzanna Hext, in the heats ahead of Thursday’s final.
