GB claim second victory in France
The Great Britain women's wheelchair basketball team eased past Turkey 45-30 on the third day of the European Championships in France.

GB raced to a 33-6 lead at half-time but kept the scoring down after the break to record a comfortable win in their penultimate pool match.

Anna Jackson and Caroline Matthews top-scored with nine points each, while veteran campaigner Anne Wild got eight.

Britain, who have won two and lost two, play the Netherlands on Saturday.

They must win their final pool match and hope France, who have also won two matches, lose to have any chance of reaching the gold-medal play-offs against unbeaten defending champions Germany on Sunday.

France are set to play Spain in the last group game of the tournament.
