The draw has been made for the team final at the Agria FEI World Showjumping Championships this evening (12 August).

Britain is in sixth place going into today’s competition, and retains yesterday’s order so Ben Maher and Faltic HB, who are in sixth place individually at this stage, are first to go for the team. The 25 combinations who are competing solely as individuals go first, then the first team rider, Marlon Modolo Zanotelli of Brazil, on Like A Diamond Van Het Schaeck, is due in the ring at about 10.05pm local time (9.05pm UK time). Exact times have not been released but allowing two minutes per rider, the approximate times are as follows.
