Britain's Ellen Gandy won silver in the 200m butterfly at the World Swimming Championships in Shanghai.

Gandy, 19, came on strong down the final length but China's Jiao Liuyang clocked two minutes 5.55 seconds to pip her by 0.04sec. Her fellow Briton Jemma Lowe, who qualified fastest for the final, finished seventh.

Ryan Lochte broke his own world record to beat Michael Phelps and win the 200m individual medley gold.
