    "I thought to myself 'if I just dig really deep here then I can get them' and I did!

    "I felt incredible with 100m to go, I don't think I've never felt like I've had so much more length. Maybe I need to run faster at the start, but it's working.

    "I've just got to get my head down now and focus on trials."

    Members of the British women's 4x100m relay team have been speaking to BBC One after taking first place.

    Dina Asher-Smith: "The stadium is absolutely incredible so how can you not put on an amazing performance.

    "It's been great to run with these lovely ladies."

    Amy Hunt: "It was quick and it was the first time we had done either of those changeovers. We practised them in the warm-up today so I think that shows just how highly skilled we are as a team. Add in the speed and then it's game over for everyone else."

    Daryll Neita: "Every time I race at this stadium, I have goosebumps. The vibration and energy is just so high in here so I knew by running with these beautiful ladies we were going to get the job done. Looking at the time, I am really excited at what we can do."

    Great Britain's Josh Kerr, who came second in men's 1500m, speaking to BBC One: "I'm in great shape. I thought I had that if I'm honest and I was just waiting for the last 100m, but I was beaten.

    "It's aright doing that early on in the year because it was a packed race. But I should be winning those so I am frustrated.

    "Making sure we can get these hard efforts in at this point of the season is really important. It means we'll be in a much better spot than this for the World Championships in six/seven weeks time.

    "I tested myself today. I thought I was going to be strong enough to win but it is ok.

    "I really wanted to show up and win today for this crowd, but all I can guarantee and promise to them now is come back in a few months time and I will be battling for a gold medal for this country.

    "I'll bring it home and then everyone can see what we were working towards today."

    Drama!

    The final event of the day does not disappoint, but what a mess.

    Huge shame for George Mills, who is clearly in great shape, but there’s no recovering from a fall like that.

    He’s applauded home by the fans as he makes sure he finishes the rest of the race at his own pace.

    It’ll be interesting to hear what Josh Kerr makes of that one. A season's best but no British record today. There’s plenty of time to sharpen up further before the worlds, but he needs to close off that inside route for his rivals…

    Koech has a cheekiness because he snuck through on the inside and really mixed up the race. In fact he blew it apart.

    He saved enough to hold of Josh Kerr. You feel there is more and more to come from Koech.

    How fast will the men's 1500m field go out?

    Well, Josh Kerr has had his say.

    "What would satisfy me? A win, number one," said Kerr, who as the top-ranked athlete has decided the pace which will be set by the pacemaker.

    "But I think I can run pretty fast so I would say go out, be aggressive and see what we can come up with.

    "We're going through 800m in about one minute 51. That's the idea. A British record would be a great way for me to run this meet.

    "But, at the end of the day, when you have a race like this, when it's so packed with a load of great athletes, the number one priority is to win and you're going to get a good time from that.

    "But I'm not here for a slow race."

    Men's 1500m (15:48)

    Josh Kerr will target his own British record when he contests a stacked men's 1500m, the finale of the meeting at the London Stadium.

    Britain's reigning world champion and Olympic silver medallist is part of a star-studded field that features six British athletes.

    The 27-year-old's British 1500m record stands at three minutes 27.79 seconds - the time he ran in finishing behind American Cole Hocker in a dramatic final at Paris 2024.

    While rival Jakob Ingebrigtsen has withdrawn because of injury, Kerr is joined by 2022 world champion Jake Wightman and the in-form George Mills among eight men in the line-up to have run the distance in under 3:30.

    Neil Gourley, Eliot Giles and Ben Claridge are the other British athletes on the start line.

    The men's 1500m begins at 15:48 BST.

    Dina Asher-Smith fought her way back to Amy Hunt!

    Alfred has elevated herself this season and is showing her strength with that phenomenal time. I don't think it was a perfect race for her either.

    When she puts her foot down on the gas, she just pulls away from Asher-Smith and Hunt who are world-class in their own rights.
