Latest action from the Invictus Games
Script:
The Invictus Games continued at the Queen Elizabeth Park on Saturday.
The Games are a Paralympics-style competition for servicemen and women, with more than 400 competitors from 13 nations are taking part in nine adaptive sports over four days until Sunday.
The roof of the Copper Box arena was well and truly raised as Great Britain enjoyed a second victory over the USA in as many days.
Following on from their closely-contested final in wheelchair rugby on Friday, victories over France and Denmark in the semi-finals pitched the two teams together once more to battle it out in the wheelchair basketball final.
The British team romped to a convincing 19-9 win over their American counterparts.
In other action three Britons - Robert Cromley-Hawke, John-James Chalmers and Paul Vice - crossed the line together in the Men's Recumbent Cycling while Alfredo De Los Santos of the USA won gold in the Men's Handbike IHB2.
