The 25 year-old was edged out by 0.02 seconds by Tyri Donovan, who won in a time of 49.18 secs.

Chalmers had won won every British title since 2020 and reached the semi-finals at last summer's Olympic Games.

But his second place does confirm his place at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo next month.
