    Women's 200m

    Julien Alfred gets out strongly, and she storms away to win in 21:71, a meeting record and a new personal best for the Olympic silver medalist!

    Alfred was so far ahead that second-place Dina Asher-Smith came in at 22:25, with Britain's Amy Hunt third with 22:31.

    That's a season best for Asher-Smith and a personal best for Hunt. Not a bad day's work!

    Daryll Neita comes sixth with 22:69, a season best.

    On to the women's 200m, the second event of the day for Team GB star Dina Asher-Smith.

    Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita join Ireland's Rhasidat Adeleke in the women's 200m after winning the women's 4x100m relay earlier on.

    Though Olympic champion Gabby Thomas is absent, silver medalist Julien Alfred is favourite to take first place. Her season best is 21:88 seconds.

    That's a huge win for Oblique Seville.

    The Jamaican 24-year-old actually finished last in the Paris 2024 Olympic final - but, in what was one of the greatest 100m showdowns of all time, all eight men finished within 0.12 seconds of the gold medal that night.

    He clocked 9.91 secs there, and he has put down a huge statement with 9.86 seconds to beat a stellar line-up today.

    Noah Lyles has seen his season disrupted by injury so far and clearly has some sharpening up to do before the World Championships.

    Consistency has got to be the key for Seville.

    He got out of the block well and he just kept applying the pressure because he knew what the pack was like.

    You have to give Gudaf Tsegay some credit because that's as good as she's raced in a while.

    It was reminiscent of the old Tsegay who goes out hard and then manages to maintain and sustain.

    Tsegay leads the final lap closely followed by Hull, but the Ethiopian finds an extra gear despite her crazy first lap and extends her lead to win!

    Her time of 4:11:88 is a world lead, national record for Ethiopia and a meet record.

    Hull comes second with 4:13:68, and Ireland's Sarah Healy third with 4:16:26.

    Great Britain's Morgan Lake has taken first place in the women's high jump as the only athlete to clear 1.96m.

    The other three competitors at that height, including Olympic and world champion Yaroslava Mahuchikh of Ukraine, all failed in their three attempts at that height.

    Lake's 1.96m clearance equals her season best - she has a go at 2m, clapped on by her home crowd, but fails with her first two tries.

    Great race from Dobson - he judged it very well.

    Lane 7 was a good lane for him.

    Just look at the shock on his face. He knew Matt [Hudson-Smith] was done so then came the opportunity for him to fly through.

    Here last year, Matthew Hudson-Smith delighted the home crowd by smashing his European 400m record.

    It asserted him as a strong gold-medal contender heading into Paris 2024, but again the Briton fell agonisingly short of a first global title.

    He was four-hundredths of a second behind American Quincy Hall at the Stade de France, having been 0.09 secs off gold at the 2023 World Championships. But it has only made him more determined to take the next step on the podium and he vowed last summer that those near-misses were "just the start".

    The 30-year-old has already clocked 44.10 seconds this season, and still has plenty of time to improve on that before Tokyo. Has he got another record-breaking run in him today, I wonder?

    He told BBC Sport: "Last year as a whole was amazing. Even though I came short in literally the last five metres, not many people can say they have a silver at the Olympics.

    "We have seen where the improvements could be and we've been working on those little increments, and it's exciting what's to come. I just take it one race at a time and I know when I put a race together I'm the best in the world."
