Great Britain's Fran Halsall through to 50m freestyle final

Great Britain's Fran Halsall has progressed to the final in the women's 50m freestyle after setting the seventh-fastest time in the semi-finals at the World Swimming Championships.

The 25-year-old, who is the Commonwealth champion in this event, finished third in her semi-final in a time of 24.50.

Defending champion Ranomi Kromowidjojo of the Netherlands, who has a silver medal from the women's 4x100m freestyle, won the first of the two semi-finals.

However, the quickest time came in the second semi-final, which was won by Australia's Cate Campbell in 24.22 seconds, putting her ahead of Sweden's Sarah Sjostrom and 100m champion Bronte Campbell.
