Live Paralympic World Cup action from the Manchester Aquatics Centre. The Great Britain team includes plenty of world-class athletes, including double Paralympic gold medallist Eleanor Simmonds, plus fellow Beijing success stories Matthew Walker, Liz Johnson and David Roberts. They will be looking to lay down a marker to their rivals ahead of the summer's World Championships.

In addition to the swimming, there are highlights of the wheelchair basketball, seven-aside football and athletics. South African star Oscar Pistorius will be the man to beat in the sprints, while in the middle distance events there could be a fascinating duel between Canada's Josh Cassidy and Great Britain's Dave Weir. The Canadian claimed a surprise win at the 2010 London Marathon after Weir suffered two flat tyres in the closing stages. Weir will be determined to exact revenge in Manchester. Show less
