Women\u2019s 200m breaststroke semi-finals: Ellie McCartney, Mona McSharry both make final<\/p>\n

Men\u2019s 200m breaststroke final: Jack Kelly finishes seventh<\/p>\n

European Athletics Championships<\/p>\n

Men\u2019s 200m semi-finals: Sean Aigboboh, Marcus Lawler (8.05pm)<\/p>\n

Men\u2019s 800m final: Mark English (9.28pm)<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s 200m final: Rhasidat Adeleke (9.50pm)<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all from me for an hour. Back for the 200m men\u2019s semi-finals in athletics.<\/p>\n

Jack Kelly finishes seventh in 200m breaststroke final<\/p>\n

It was a solid third 50m, but still in touch near the end, but ran out of steam and finishes seventh.<\/p>\n

Britain\u2019s Filip Nowacki wins in 2:07.70. Netherlands\u2019 Caspar Corbeau is second and Luka Mladenovic in third. Kelly swam 2:10.58.<\/p>\n

Good start by Kelly, leading after 50 metres and under world record pace. Very fast, can he maintain it? Unlikely, already fifth by 100m.<\/p>\n

Next up is the men\u2019s 200m breaststroke final, where Jack Kelly takes part.<\/p>\n

McCartney makes the 200m breaststroke final!<\/p>\n

She swims 2.24.15 in the much faster semi-final, to get into the final. She joins McSharry there for the final tomorrow. Evgeniia Chikunova laid down a marker with a 2.20.71 time.<\/p>\n

Mona McSharry wins her 200m breaststroke semi-final!<\/p>\n

A very smooth swim, led throughout, although she was pushed by Zmushka and Elendt.<\/p>\n

She swims 2.23.53, laid down a marker but also more in the tank with regard her personal best.<\/p>\n

Hello and welcome to live coverage of the European athletics<\/a> and swimming championships in London and Paris respectively. After two medals in the pool last night, there are more chances for Danielle Hill and Jack Kelly, you would have to say outside chances though, but you never know on the day. It\u2019s a different story later in athletics where Mark English<\/a> and Rhasidat Adeleke<\/a> go into their finals among the fastest qualifiers and will have medals in mind in the 800m and 200m. Both races are late starts, well after 9pm, but well worth tuning in for to see.<\/p>\n
