    Late highlights from day ten of European Games in Baku

    Script:

    Great Britain won the final two Diving gold medals on offer at the Games, taking their total to four as the competition came to an end.

    Matthew Lee claimed the men's platform title after Katherine Torrance had grabbed the women's 3m springboard gold at the Baku Aquatics Centre, leaving the Britons on top of the Diving medals table.

    Sixteen-year-old Torrance had waltzed off with gold earlier after a sustained challenge from silver medallist Russian Ekaterina Nekrasova.

    Torrance totalled 448.25 points to Nekrasova's 443.05.

    Lee, 17, held his nerve to edge out Russia's Nikita Shleikher, the 1m springboard champion.

    Lee finished on 588.25 points, with Shleikher on 556.55.

    Serbia's unwavering belief was rewarded with a men's Water Polo gold medal as they defeated Spain 8-7 in the final.

    It was a close contest from the from the first whistle with no side leading by more than a single goal until Serbia's Jasmin Kolasinac squeezed in a shot at the front post for an 8-6 edge with less than four minutes to play.

    Alvaro Granados Ortega struck in reply to that effort, but Spain could not find a way through Serbia's defence to level,

    Latvia's Martins Plavins and Haralds Regza held their nerve to recover from a second set collapse and win the men's beach volleyball gold medal.

    They won the first point of the third set and never trailed thereafter, eventually winning 15-10.
