France's Eloyse Lesueur has overtaken Katarina Johnson-Thompson with a 6.85m leap on her fourth attempt. Liverpudlian Johnson-Thompson, who is taking part in the long jump after she failed to qualify for the pentathlon because of illness, is still second after that 6.81m personal best.

British 60m hurdles finalist Will Sharman: "It's always a pleasure to be here. That was good and solid. My system is ready to go. I kept my composure and I said 'let's spin them wheels'. It's exciting. I'm going to get in there rest-up and come out for the final. Richard Kilty - what a man. I said to him, 'put your head down because you've got a lot of talent'."

"Pozzi, after making a mistake early on, didn't set himself up for the whole race which meant he had to work his way through the field. He qualified for the final which is the most important thing."

Garfield Darien comfortably wins the semi-final with a personal best 7.52 seconds - but Andrew Pozzi, who crashed into the first hurdle, comes through in second place to qualify for the final. A personal best 7.56 seconds for Pozzi. It's raining personal bests in Sopot.

There's one more semi-final to go and this one features Britain's Andrew Pozzi, who was fourth in this event two years ago. The athletes have all been introduced tot he crowd and, so, we're ready to go.

"I expected them to go a little bit quicker than that. Sharman has booked his place into the final comfortably.

It's time to turn our attention back on the track for the men's 60m hurdles semi-final and there is good news because Will Sharman dips home in third to qualify for the final, which takes place at 17:20 GMT. A personal best 7.53 secs for the Briton.

A personal best of 7.49 seconds ensured America's Omo Osaghae won the first semi-final, beating France's Pascal Martinot-Lagarde by 0.01 seconds. Germany's Erik Balnuweit (7.54) is the fourth qualifier.

Whatever happens this afternoon, Holly Bleasdale has made sure she is prepared to the nth degree as a recent tweet , externalproves: "Just had my nails done ahead of the World Indoors this weekend!" The Briton certainly looks the part out there.

Britain's Holly Bleasdale is progressing nicely in the pole vault after a slight wobble at 4.45m. The Cardiff-based athlete needed three attempts to clear her first height but has gone on to sail over 4.55m, doing so with her first attempt. But let's not get too excited because all but one of the finalists have cleared 4.55m.

"Asha was super, absolutely super. Her start was great she was executing her race superbly. She wasn't fazed by Fraser-Pryce. If Asha Philip keeps the same relaxation we saw from Richard Kilty then anything can happen."

More from 60m gold medal winner Richard Kilty on BBC Sport: "Prospects for the rest of the season are very exciting. People have looked at me as a 200m runner. I've got good speed endurance. Sub-10 seconds [in the 100m] would be amazing. In the next two years I'm capable of doing it and maybe this year.

"I'm going out to Florida soon and we'll do some training and pre-season races. I'll aim to do one event [from 100m and 200m] at the Commonwealths and one event at the Europeans."

Gold medallist Richard Kilty was speaking to BBC Sport earlier about his surprise win in the men's 60m.

"I've watched championships on TV - a lot of people come to the championships and let the nerves get the better of them," he said. "I knew I had to stay calm and focus on my technique.

"It was a big opportunity for me to come out here and I took the opportunity. I came out here and fought every round and made the most of my opportunity. I realised I'd won when I crossed the line. I was shocked, but didn't want to make a mistake by celebrating straight away."

British 60m finalist Asha Philip speaking to BBC Sport: "There is more to come. I've just equalled my PB, so I know there's more. You have to keep taking each round as it comes."

"What filled Asha with confidence is that she knows Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is a good starter and if she's alongside her at any part of the race then she's done well."

Asha Philip burst out of the blocks like a bullet train and equals her personal best, clocking 7.09 seconds to finish second behind Olympic champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.

Britain's Asha Philip will race in the third 60m semi-final but while the athletes are introduced to the crowd, I should tell you that Katarina Johnson-Thompson has leapt to a personal best 6.81m to take the lead in the women's long jump final.

Defending champion Veronica Campbell-Brown, returning from suspension, produced a season's best 7.17 seconds but will have to wait to learn whether she will qualify as one of the two fastest losers.

Replays are needed to decipher who are the two to qualify from the second heat and - drum roll - the duo through to the final are Germany's Verena Sailer (7.12 secs) and America's Tianna Bartoletta (7.14).
