    Fourth heat coming up, featuring Michael Rimmer, the 2010 silver medallist. He's struggled with a back injury this year, so qualification could be tough.

    "Andrew has struggled with his hamstring injury during this summer. He didn't have the extra gear that we've seen in previous years. All this year it's been missing, and maybe it's linked to the hamstring?"

    Andrew Osagie on BBC Two: "I'm not quite sure what's happened. I've had a problem with the sciatic nerve and I started to cramp up. To be honest, I wasn't good enough to get through, I was struggling. It was literally the last 10m of the race - adding to my story of problems this year.

    "I felt fine before that, I was in a good position but we'll have to see what this injury is."

    Andrew Osagie can hardly climb the stairs leading away from the track. Did you see those pictures of Tiger Woods? The ones where he couldn't bend over to put his shoes on? It reminds me of that.

    "What on earth went on there? Has he pulled something? He was in a good position at the top of the home straight, then he almost stops running. He looks to be in some pain there."

    Oh dear, it's all gone wrong for Andrew Osagie. He's on the deck at the finish line, clutching his back. He was cruising, but tied up on the home straight and struggled to finish in fifth. Osagie was grimacing as he crossed the line. After the controversy of Glasgow, has an injury cost him here?

    Here comes English, gliding past, and Osagie is struggling...

    Gun goes, with 21-year-old medical student English starting well. As they come together, he lies third, just behind Osagie.

    Osagie, running for England, was disqualified in the semi-finals of the Commonwealth Games for blocking Wales' Joe Thomas. If Thomas hadn't appealed, both men would have gone through. Osagie described the whole affair as "unbelievable". In this second heat, only Ireland's Mark English has gone faster than Osagie this season. Top three through to the next round by right.

    There's a right old wrestle in heat one, all taking place behind eventual winner Marcin Lewandowski of Poland. Speaking of wrestling, Britain's Andrew Osagie is up next.

    Sprints over for the evening, we're on to the middle-distance fellas. Four heats of the men's 800m, British pair Andrew Osagie and Michael Rimmer to come later.

    "A warm, close evening in the Letzigrund Stadium, home to so many world records down the years. The new track laid for these championships at a cost of £500,000 looks as fast as billed, too - while the program tonight is steady rather than spectacular, the sprint heats indicate we may have fireworks over the rest of the week."

    Harry Aikines-Aryeetey on BBC Two: "Me looking across at the end could be construed in the wrong way. Lane one is never a great lane to be in, but it's all about qualifying.

    "I'm feeling a bit more like myself. I'm here today thanks to the team I've got behind me. My team, my staff, everyone has helped me and fingers crossed I can have some fun and pot some good times down tomorrow. Hopefully we'll stay on top of the French and we'll see what happens."

    "I guess he knew he had plenty to spare there, not a bad time. We don't get many bad runs from Harry anymore, he's got that consistency now."

    First there was a shift of the eyes, then a full turn of the head. Those five heats have been won by three Britons and two Frenchmen. Tasty.
