Having finished fourth at the World Championships two years ago, Morgan Lake will be determined to force her way on to the podium in Tokyo.

The 28-year-old won her 10th UK outdoor title earlier this month and starred at London's Olympic Stadium as she won her first Diamond League, while going close in her attempts at breaking her own British record.

We're going to briefly pause this live text here and return for the women's 200m, but stick on this page to watch the continuing live coverage.

Here's a reminder of what's still to come in Lausanne this evening (all times BST):

• 19:25 - women's high jump featuring Morgan Lake and Ukraine's Olympic champion Yaroslava Mahuchikh
• 19:29 - women's 3,000m steeplechase featuring Elise Thorner
• 19:49 - women's 200m featuring Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita
• 20:23 - men's 800m featuring Max Burgin, Kenya's Olympic champion Emmanuel Wanyonyi and Canada's world champion Marco Arop
• 20:32 - men's 400m hurdles featuring Alastair Chalmers
• 20:40 - men's 100m featuring Zharnel Hughes and the USA's Olympic champion Noah Lyles

So, not quite as quick for Keely Hodgkinson in her second race back from her long injury-enforced absence, but the conditions weren't really in her favour tonight.

Still, to be in this position after the year she has had is quite remarkable and she's looking in great shape before next month's World Championships.

Plenty of thinking for Georgia Hunter Bell to do now as she weighs up which event to focus on in Tokyo - or whether to go for both.

It's a meeting record for Keely Hodgkinson!

The Olympic champion clocks one minute 55.69 seconds in the wet conditions. A class above in Lausanne.

Georgia Hunter Bell crosses the line in third in 1:57.55, behind Switzerland's Audrey Werro.

56.04 seconds at halfway.

Now Keely Hodgkinson hits the front, with Georgia Hunter Bell in third place. Nobody can live with this pace...

The green wavelights on the inside of the track have been set to Keely Hodgkinson's world-leading time set on Saturday.

The Olympic champion slots in behind the pacemaker, with the rest of the field tucking in behind.

Right then, here we go!

Georgia Hunter Bell has spoken with British icon Dame Kelly Holmes, winner of 800m and 1500m golds at the 2004 Olympics, as she considers her options before the World Championships.

The dilemma over whether to stick with the 1500m, switch focus to the 800m, or even attempt a rare double, continues to occupy her mind with Tokyo just weeks away.

Hunter Bell's exciting progress this season in the 800m has teased the tantalising prospect of a showdown with training partner Keely Hodgkinson in a global final.

"We do a lot of training together, we obviously are very good friends and we have a great team vibe, so I think at the moment we're just taking it day-by-day," Hunter Bell said, speaking to BBC Sport earlier this month.

"It will be interesting, if we both make the world final and we both have a chance of doing well, how we manage [the situation]. But, at the end of the day, if Great Britain could win two medals out of three, and [our training group] M11 could go one-two, that would just be the coolest thing ever."

"I guess I was pretty close the other day, so I wouldn't rule it out."

Keely Hodgkinson was asked at Tuesday's news conference if she believed a British record run was on the cards in Lausanne. Given she went so close - 0.13 seconds to be exact - to her own mark in her first race for 12 months.

Her personal best stands at one minute 54.61 seconds, which she ran at the London Diamond League in 2024.

That is the sixth-fastest time in history, within 1.33 seconds of Jarmila Kratochvilova's 42-year world record. No athlete has run sub 1:53 since the Czech athlete in 1983.

It's a rather wet evening in Lausanne...

Hopefully it doesn't affect performances too much. The rain does appear to be easing as we approach the women's 800m.

Tonight, four days after Keely Hodgkinson's return to action, and with just 24 days to go until the start of the World Championships in Tokyo, the British star competes in her second and final planned race before chasing another global gold.

She is joined in the women's 800m at the Lausanne Diamond League by training partner and good friend Georgia Hunter Bell, winner of Olympic 1500m bronze last summer, who is still weighing up which event to prioritise in Tokyo.

Hunter Bell has shown great progress over the two-lap event this season - it is the event in which she initially showed great promise as a junior before quitting the sport for five years - and taken Diamond League 800m wins in Stockholm and London in Hodgkinson's absence.
