England defender John Terry will continue giving evidence later when he returns to his trial for allegedly racially abusing Anton Ferdinand.
The Chelsea captain began giving evidence on Tuesday after his defence team lost their application to have the case dismissed.
Terry, 31, is accused of maliciously calling the Queens Park Rangers centre-half a "f****** black c***" during a Premier League match at Loftus Road on October 23 last year.
Terry will return to Westminster Magistrates' Court today and resume his cross-examination by Duncan Penny, for the Crown.
Terry denies a racially aggravated public order offence.
A recording of Terry's interview with the Football Association (FA), conducted a week after the incident, was played to the trial.
He told FA investigator Jennifer Kennedy: "I have been called a lot of things in my football career and off the pitch, but being called a racist I am not prepared to take. I have never been accused of that before, inside or outside football.
"I took it to heart. If I had something to hide I wouldn't be projecting it in front of the Sky cameras and the people in the ground.
"I could have easily had my hand over my mouth or whispered in his ear."
His representative, Keith Cousins, told the hearing that Terry was "rhetorically responding" to what he thought Ferdinand had accused him of.
The maximum punishment for the offence Terry is charged with is a £2,500 fine.
