    Women's 800m T34 final (22:11 BST)

    Hannah Cockroft is aiming for the fifth Paralympic gold medal of her career tonight and her third in Rio when she goes in the women's 800m T34 final.

    Before the Games started, she spoke with BBC's Nikki Fox and discussed her targets in a wide-ranging Car Share interview (which you can watch below).

    "My hopes are obvious, I want three gold medals and I will be pretty gutted if I come back with anything else," said Cockroft.

    Will Cockroft get the target she was after? We will find out soon.

  2. Craig finishes sixthpublished at 22:05 BST 16 September 2016

    Men's S8 50m freestyle

    Well, we're not used to seeing this in the pool. Five races down and still no British medals. 

    China's Wang Yinan stretches on the last stroke to win by a fingertip in 26.24 with Ukraine's athletes completing the podium for silver and bronze. 

    But it's sixth place for Josef Craig who finishes in 27.27 in the one length sprint. 

    But GB will have plenty more chances to surpass the London 2012 medal tally tonight

  3. A tale of two Stephspublished at 22:03 BST 16 September 2016

    Women's S8 50m freestyle 22:03 BST

    Steph Millward and Steph Slater always believed they were destined for swimming success. 

    But in the past, they dreamed of winning medals in an Olympic pool rather than a Paralympic one.

    Steph Millward was tipped to become an Olympic teenage sensation at Sydney 2000 but she was diagnosed with MS at 17. And Steph Slater was on the path to Olympic success until she suffered nerve damage to her left arm while training at the British performance centre. 

    Millward has ended her 18-year wait to sit on top of the podium while Slater collected a silver. 

    Can Millward bag a golden double or will Slater earn a first class upgrade?

    It's said most magpies are attracted to silver. 

    But Newcastle United fan Josef Craig craves gold in the men's S8 50m freestyle. 

    He won silver in this event as an S7 in the 2013 world championships but now he's been upgraded to an S8, a silver medal just won't cut it for this determined Magpie. 

    He won't have any competition from Rio gold medallist Ollie Hynd in this one so he has a golden opportunity.

    Costa de Oliveira keeps it in the familypublished at 21:55 BST 16 September 2016

    Women's T11 long jump

    The Brazilian crowd at the Athletics Stadium went wild at the end of the morning session after Silvania Costa de Oliveira ensured gold for the home nation in the women's T11 long jump with her last jump of the competition.

    Silvania followed in the footsteps of her brother Ricardo who won the men’s event on the opening day of competition at Rio 2016 - ironically, he also clinched gold with his final leap.

    "I think my mother might have got a heart attack!" said the 29-year-old.

    “Since August I’ve felt the great support from the Brazilian people and this victory is like a cake where everyone who contributed with an ingredient can join the celebration party.”

    Men's S5 50m backstroke 23:53 BST

    GB's Andrew Mullen has been determined to spoil Daniel Dias' party in the pool in front of his home crowd since he splashed down in Rio. 

    But so far, Dias has won two golds with Mullen only coming away with one bronze. 

    BBC Radio 5 live's swimming expert Graham Edmund says he calls S5 swimmer Andrew Mullen 'The Warrior,' because of his fighting spirit. 

    So will Mullen be in a fighting mood for a golden victory tonight? That comes up later on.

    Fourth again for ParalympicsGB by fractions of a second. They are being made to work for their medals tonight. 

    A slow start didn't help the Sheffield swimmer and he looked to struggled with the turn. 

    In a splash and dash last 25m, Hungary's Tamas Toth wins it, with China's Liu getting the silver and Brenden Hall battles Crisp for bronze.

    The Australian touches the wall first to edge him off the podium.

    So close. Susie Rodgers misses out on a bronze medal by seven hundredths of a second in the women's S7 freestyle final. 

    It's an American one-two on the podium as McKenzie Coan wins it by a good length in 1:09.99. 

    Her compatriot Cortney Jordan finishes strong for silver in 1:12.80 and China's Huang snatches the bronze from Susie in 1:12.85 as the Brit touches the wall in 1:12.92. 

    Nobody likes finishing fourth at a major event and by such close margins. Hard lines Susie.

    Britain's Dan Greaves is in his fifth Paralympics and has won a medal at each of the previous four in the F44 discus event and is aiming for victory from 21:50 BST.

    The Athens gold medallist has an unusual coaching set-up - he is based in Loughborough while his coach John Godina is based 5,000 miles away in Arizona.

    So the training sessions are done via an iPad and tripod.

    “While coach is having his breakfast at 06.30, I’m throwing at 14.30, and it actually works really well," said Greaves. "We’ve got a Bluetooth speaker set up so I can hear him and everything – it’s basically like he’s there."

    BBC Radio 5 live

    Kadeena Cox has been one of the British stars at the Paralympics - winning gold medals in the velodrome and the track - and she says she is aiming to defend her Paralympic titles in cycling and athletics at the Tokyo Games in 2020.

    Cox became the first Briton since 1988 to win a medal in two sports at the same Paralympics, winning gold medals in the cycling time trial and T38 100m.

    “I did say last year when I was going to take them on that I was just going to do it until Rio, but now I can’t even think about dropping either of them. 

    “I’d love to do the double, double in Tokyo,”

    GB's Susie Rodgers is up next in the women's equivalent race.

    Two days, two silver medals for Alfie Hewett. 

    But Hewett, who comes from Norwich, is only 18 years old and will have more chances of Paralympic gold in the future.

    He was only the 13th seed in the men's singles competition, so will surely be delighted to be in the medals.
