    Women's high jump final

    Bad news from the high jump I'm afraid.

    Morgan Lake has failed in her third effort at 1.93m and is out of the final.

    No British medal in that event. There are five athletes still in contention including four who have cleared 1.93m.

    You have to hit the board. It has been a real point of contention among the horizontal jumps community over recent months.

    There have been arguments about whether they should just measure from where they take off to where they hit the sand.

    Women's triple jump final

    We've had the first round of jumps in the women's triple jump finals.

    That is a big run, and a big exclamation mark. Asher-Smith is not back to her best yet, but is well on her way.

    Women's 100m semi-finals

    As it stands, Amy Hunt has run the second quickest time of the non-top two finishers from the semi-finals.

    If the third-place finisher in the third semi runs slower than 11.13 seconds, Hunt will be in the 100m final alongside Asher-Smith later tonight.

    Very, very easy for Dina Asher-Smith.

    She wins her semi in a season best of 10.96 seconds - indeed- no-one has run faster in Europe this year.

    And she barely broke a sweat in doing so.

  18. Dobson heads men's 400m qualifierspublished at 20:07 British Summer Time 9 June

    Britain's Charlie Dobson qualified fastest for Monday's men's 400m final - with the quickest semi-final time posted in the event's history at the championships.

    That mark of 44.65m makes him a serious gold medal contender.

    "I don’t think you can ever call a 400m easy but it obviously wasn’t the hardest 400 I can run. I executed my race plan as I wanted, to get to 3-350m, see where I am at and if I need to push a bit harder I’ve got the reserve to do that and I did. We got through comfortably and that was the ultimate aim," he said.

    "It was nice, a decent track and it was about getting back into the rhythm of racing to be honest. The aim was just to win it so there were no doubts - and I did that so, cool, done."

  19. Big night in store for debutant Norrispublished at 20:05 British Summer Time 9 June

    Men's hammer final (20:10 BST)

    Coming up now, Jake Norris will contest the men's hammer final at his first major international championships.

    The 24-year-old, who qualified comfortably with a best throw of 75.73m yesterday, is a busy man.

    Having to juggle his training with work, Norris does a weekly shift at clothing company Superdry, while also working as a massage therapist when he can, and coaching two nights a week.

    The reigning British champion followed up European junior silver in 2016 with world junior gold in 2018 and will hope to make the most of this opportunity.
