Jessica Ennis-Hill has grabbed heptathlon gold at the World Athletics Championships after winning her heat of the 800m.

The Brit hasn't competed much since winning in London in 2012 because of injury and the birth of her first child.

But Jessica steadily built a lead over the first six events of the heptathlon and then stormed through to victory by winning her 800m heat in two minutes 10.13 seconds.

Fellow Brit Katarina Johnson-Thompson was second overnight but finished down the field after three fouls in the long jump.
