Armand Duplantis attempts a world record height of 6.30 metres, but clips the bar.

That was just a sighter, he'll have another go.

Armand Duplantis is getting ready to attempt a world record height of 6.30 metres. Don't go anywhere.

Armand Duplantis is right up there with one of the greats.

We talk about what Usain Bolt did for the sport, the energy that he brought. And Duplantis is doing the same. People are talking about him and the pole vault. He is doing great things.

He said that he is flirting with 6.30 metres but he needs the conditions and the atmosphere from the crowd. It is about him feeling good.

What a run from Ditaji Kambundji. Phenomenal.

In the Diamond League, she smashed the last hurdle so we knew she had the capabilities if she kept flawless. She got out the blocks well and made no mistakes.

She did not stress - she just kept her rhythm and her timing. What a result for her.

WOW! Emmanouil Karalis is so, so close to clearing a would-be personal best of 6.15m, but he brushes the bar and it falls.

Over to you, Mondo Duplantis...

He clears once again, and it just looks so easy. The pressure is back on Karalis now.

It was always going to come down to this.

In his pursuit of Mondo Duplantis, Greece's Emmanouil Karalis has risen to fourth on the event's all-time list by clearing 6.08m last month.

But it just isn't enough against the GOAT.

Credit to Karalis, he is going to give this his best shot and is lining up an attempt at a huge personal best of 6.15m in the hope of causing an almighty shock.

It is the way that the bar seems to flick Armand Duplantis off at the top. It comes down to speed - he is able to load that speed into the pole.

I love the fact that Emmanouil Karalis is asking the questions. He is giving Armand Duplantis a run for his money.

Emmanouil Karalis and Armand Duplantis are going at it in the men's pole vault final.

Karalis looks to have cleared the bar at 6.10 metres, but he clips it on the way down.

Duplantis then clears at his first attempt, piling the pressure on his Greek opponent.

In the women's 100m hurdles, Nigeria's Tobi Amusan (12.36 seconds) - the world record holder - ran the fastest time in the semi-finals.

However, she'll have a battle on her hands for gold against American Olympic champion Masai Russell, Jamaican world champion Danielle Williams and USA's Grace Stark, who ran 12.37 seconds in the first semi-final.

Geordie Beamish knew when he was approaching that last barrier that he just had to get over it in one piece.

Soufiane El Bakkali was stretching out those limbs and tried to hold on as much as he could but he just could not beat Beamish.

Residents of Cork may disagree with you there, Pete...Slàinte.

We know who the medallists will be in the men's pole vault final!

As Sam Kendricks fails for the third time, he is guaranteed fourth place.

Kurtis Marschall of Australia then fails, so he takes bronze.

That means that world champion Armand Duplantis and Olympic silver medalist Emmanouil Karalis will battle it out for gold. This could be epic.

Ethiopia's Lamecha Girma leads the race into the final lap.

Soufiane El Bakkali has moved into the top six.

Into the final 1000m and still no movement from defending champion Soufiane El Bakkali.

Great Britain's Neil Gourley speaking to BBC Sport after finishing sixth in the second men's 1500m semi-final: "I am relieved to say the least. I had no clue if my name was going to show up fifth or ninth. I just had to lean for the line.

"I did not feel great tonight but it is nice to be on the right side of the hundredth of a second.

"I got stuck behind Cole Hocker. I was content to stay there but I had a lot to do in the last 50 metres.

"I was thinking the whole time ‘My mum is going to kill me after watching that!’ She will be having a panic attack out there. I need to go and give her a hug."

Germany's Frederik Ruppert and Kenyan teenager Edmund Serem have been at the front of the bunch for the first 1500m.

Moroccan favourite Soufiane El Bakkali is watchful at the back.

It feels very slow.
