At the Stade de France British attention focuses on Jonnie Peacock, who will be attempting to win his third Paralympic gold in the men’s T64 100m final at 18:50.

Peacock finished on top of the podium in London and Rio, but finished with a bronze medal in Tokyo three years ago.

Meanwhile, six-time gold medallist David Weir will be in action in the first round of the men’s T54 1500m (20:25).

In the morning session, Tunisia’s Walid Ktila failed to win a fourth consecutive men’s T34 sprint title, finishing second to Thailand’s Chaiwat Rattana.

In the first round of the women’s T12 400m, Italy’s Valentina Petrillo, the first openly transgender athlete to compete at the Paralympics, qualified from her heat after finishing second with a time of 58.35 seconds.

Petrillo, won bronze in the World Championships last year, will race in the semi-finals at 19:43.

Two of the three GB competitors qualified for the final of the women’s T54 1500m – Melanie Woods and Samantha Kinghorn both set qualifying times, but Eden Rainbow-Cooper, whose medal hopes were ended by a collision in the 5,000m final, missed out with a seventh-place finish in her heat.
