"There will be disappointment that Sam Hynd couldn't defend his S8 400m freestyle title and that 13-year-old Chloe Davies failed to match her form from the S14 100m backstroke heats, which would have secured her a medal. However, most of the other results were as expected.

BBC Sport's Nick Hope at the Aquatics Centre: "Great Britain's Aaron Moores claims 100m backstroke silver in the S14 category, for those with learning difficulties.

"The category was only reintroduced for these Games after being axed following the discovery that a number of journalists had competed for the Spanish basketball gold medal winning team in Sydney.

"Thirteen-year-old Chloe Davies was the quickest qualifier for the women's event, but missed the chance to became GB's youngest-ever Paralympic champion after finishing fifth."

BBC Sport's Saj Chowdhury at the Olympic Stadium: "Beijing 2008 double gold medallist David Weir produces a sensational finish from 200m out to win his T54 men's 5,000m heat. The Londoner won bronze in this event four years ago."

BBC Sport's Nick Hope at the Aquatics Centre: "Big moment tonight for learning disabled athletes. Their category was axed from the Paralympic Games after the Sydney Games 12 years ago when the Spanish basketball team were found to have lied about the severity of their athlete's conditions.

"Today the S14 athletes will compete in a Paralympic swimming pool for the first time since 2000, and GB's 13-year-old Chloe Davies is a strong medal prospect in the 100m backstroke."

BBC Sport's Saj Chowdhury at the Olympic Stadium: "Apologies. How dare I leave out British duo Derek Derenalagi and Nathan Stephens who are both in the final of the F57/F58 men's discus. It could be a good night for British track and field."

BBC Sport's Saj Chowdhury at the Olympic Stadium: "I've seen the future. Great Britain will win its first gold in the Paralympics athletics competition. The person I'm tipping is Halifax speed merchant Hannah Cockroft in the wheelchair T34 event, who is the world record holder in the event.

"That might seem that's like saying it'll rain again in London this year. Anyway, Cockroft races in the final at 2000 BST.

"Other British finalists include Welshman Rhys Jones in the men's T37 200m (2008 BST) and Sophia Warner in the T35 200m (2015 BST). Double Beijing gold medallist Dave Weir goes in the 5,000m heats."

Laura Robson on her incredible third round victory over Li Na: "I don't know how I managed to pull that out after losing the second set on a tie-break.

"But I knew if I kept sticking with her and going for my shots I might win, and I did.

"I had a few break points early on and wasted a couple with averaging returning, but it took a bit of pressure off my final service game to go a double break up at 5-2 in the final set."

BBC Sport's Nick Hope at the Aquatics Centre: "Great Britain's Heather Frederiksen has just been presented with her Paralympic silver medal by Lord Sebastian Coe and it's clearly an emotional moment for the swimmer.

"Frederiksen was also second in the event four years ago, but served a six-month ban after testing positive for "raised levels of Salbutamol" at the 2009 IPC European Championships in Reykjavik.

"She has always maintained her innocence and blamed a mix-up with her inhaler, which was prescribed for her asthma condition."

BBC Sport's Nick Hope at the Aquatics Centre: "Absolutely incredible watching USA's Jessica Long swim. She's just smashed her own S8 400m freestyle world record by two seconds, finishing in four minutes and 42.82 secs.

"It's her second gold of the 2012 Paralympics and the eighth of her career, but lets not forget GB's Heather Frederiksen. She was 18 seconds behind, but a comfortable silver medallist ahead of Australia's 13-year-old Maddison Elliott.

"That's three medals from two races for ParalympicsGB athletes - with a strong possibility of a few more."

BBC Sport's Nick Hope at the Aquatics Centre: "Big surprise as defending S8 400m freestyle champion Sam Hynd is beaten not only by his younger brother Oliver, but also by Yinan Wang of China.

BBC Sport's Nick Hope at the Aquatics Centre: "Coming up this evening on day two of the London Paralympics we have 15 British swimmers in action and according to the team press officers I just spoke to, at least five strong medal contenders.

BBC Sport's Nick Hope at the North Greenwich Arena: "Going from bad to worse for GB's wheelchair basketball players at the beginning of the third quarter and they now trail 35-11 against Australia.

BBC Sport's Saj Chowdhury at the Olympic Park: "Great Britain's Rhys Jones ran a personal best to reach the final of the men's T37 200m. The 18-year-old Welshman finished fifth in his heat, but a time of 24.39 seconds means he qualifies as one of the fastest losers."

They also supplemented their funding by rattling buckets at supermarket check-outs.
