Team GB duo scrape past butterfly heats

Great Britain's Joe Litchfield and Kyle Chisholm did just enough to qualify for the semi-finals of the 200m butterfly in Baku this morning.

Litchfield finished seventh in his heat in a time of 2:03.08, which left him in 14th place overall.

Meanwhile, Chisholm was third in his race, and the Briton's time of 2:03.15 ensured that he was the 16th-fastest swimmer of the heats.

Italy's Giacomo Carini (1:58.99) will be favourite for gold, after posting the only sub-two minute time in qualifying.
