Rush of coldwater slows World Championship sport.
As the all out approaches on day one of the World Championship, the fishing is reported to have become very tough for anglers in E section, as a rush of cold water moving through the canal has lead to the fish switching off. Although it is making the fishing difficult, it is good news for England's Sean Ashby who is comfortably leading the section.

In D section, Alan is still in control, some 20 fish ahead of the rest of the anglers in his section. Steve Hemingray is still comfortably leading his zone, after taking several more quality skimmers.

Although it is thought that Will Raison is still comfortably ahead in his section, the Spanish angler has banked a couple of big skimmers - which means he could be catching Will up.

With big fish now being caught throughout Des Shipp's section, it is not known how he will fair come the weigh in. his bank runner, Callum Dicks has said that he can't see him being any lower than fourth in section however.

All in all, it still looks like England are comfortably ahead in the team stakes, with France and Wales also fairing well.

The match is due to finish at 13:30 GMT, after which we will endeavour to get the result as quickly as possible.
