Great Britain's women claimed Olympic 4x100m relay silver, just 0.07 seconds behind champions United States, in a thrilling race at the Stade de France.

Dina Asher-Smith, Imani Lansiquot, Amy Hunt and Daryll Neita had two tricky changeovers as the rain fell in Paris but Neita was superb on the anchor leg.

She almost overhauled 100m silver medallist Sha'Carri Richardson down the final straight, but the American dipped first over the line in 41.78 seconds.

Britain clocked 41.85secs, with Germany third in 41.97.

The victory will be particularly sweet for Neita and Asher-Smith, who missed out on individual medals by narrow margins earlier in the week.

Neita was four-hundredths of a second off the 100m podium in fourth and both she and Asher-Smith were within three-hundredths of a second of a 200m prize.
