    Gabby Logan signs off the BBC Two coverage by saying that tomorrow night is ladies' night at the Letzigrund Stadium.

    I think she is referring to the fact that Jo Pavey (5,000m), Lynsey Sharp, Jessica Judd (both 800m) and Elidh Child (400m hurdles) will be going for gold.

    Either that or she has an after-hours knees-up planned with Denise Lewis and Paula Radcliffe.

    None of that frivolity at live text towers - we'll be here to bring you the best of the action from 16:30 BST.

    One lady in the crowd has just cheekily asked Adam Gemili for his race number as a souvenir. Because he is such a polite fella, he obliges, getting a trackside official to unpin the sheet on his back and hand it over.

    A champion and a gentleman.

    Bogdan Bondarenko has only jumped five times in total, six if you add in his celebratory flying karate kick, but that is all it needs.

    The Ukrainian adds the European crown to his world title with a clearance at 2.35m sweeping away the opposition.

    Mitch Mansfield:, external Let's not forget that Adam Gemili is still just 20 years old. Very exciting.

    Chris Watts:, external Wow! Adam Gemili. What a run. Superstar in the making.

    Adam Gemili's is Britain's fourth gold medal on the men's side - alongside James Dasaolu (100m), Mo Farah (10,000m) and Martyn Rooney (400m) - and the sixth in total for the British team with Tiffany Porter and Jo Pavey also on the top step.

    It takes Great Britain back to the top of the medal table above France.

    "You've just got to be yourself and bring the training and the confidence that you can trust in your speed.

    "He didn't have to search for that speed it was there. When he put his foot down off the turn the gas was there. He could relax but he knew he could go sub 20 seconds.

    "If you can do your best at the championships, that's the ultimate."

    "Adam nailed that race. He matched his personal best but better as it was into a stiff breeze. It was just about getting out of the blocks well and being confident in all of his work.

    "He had to take this title and he knew the long limbed Christophe Lamaitre would be strong down the home straight but he believed in himself.

    "It was a strong bend, not his best but it was enough, and he put his foot down in the home straight. He's announced himself onto the world scene yet again."

    "It was a perfect 200m, a perfect bend, a perfect transition and great strength and great speed."

    Adam Gemili must be the only man in the stadium who doesn't know he has won. The Briton looks around for confirmation after crossing the line, but he has a good chunk of fresh air clear of Christophe Lemaitre in second.

    A commanding run that demanded gold. The time was a PB-matching 19.98 seconds.

    Adam Gemili has a plum draw in lane four.

    Inside him is 2010 champion Christophe Lemaitre. Outside him is defending champion, the Netherlands' Churandy Martina. Is the 2014 champion in the middle?

    "Bogdan Bondarenko extended his run-up and has piled the pressure on his team-mate. That may well be a gold medal jump."

    Bogdan Bondarenko's confidence in passing all but one height on his way to 2.35m proves justified. The world champion Ukrainian moves his mark back a touch and the longer run-up takes him well clear on his second attempt.

    He is top of the high jumps pops with only countryman Andriy Protsenko still in contention.

    Adam Gemili could be preparing to travel to Burton Albion this evening rather than featuring in the men's 200m final in Zurich.

    The 20-year-old was playing for Dagenham and Redbridge two and a half years ago. Since switching to athletics he has won a world junior crown, reached the semi-finals of London 2012, won Commonwealth silver in Glasgow and now has a shot at being European champion.

    He has just trudged out on track. It doesn't look like he is missing Burton.

    Ivan Ukhov has put in his best and final offer in the high jump. He fails in his third attempt to get over 2.33m.

    Ukraine's Andriy Protsenko shows him how it is done, soaring over to take top slot in the standings. The only man that can beat Protsenko now is compatriot and world champion Bogdan Bondarenko, who turned down the chance to jump at 2.33m.

    France's Antoinette Nana Djimou looked like she was struggling along the back straight of the 800m - the final event in the heptathlon. Maybe she was playing possum.

    She gets a motor on, overtaking her nearest rival in the points standings - the Netherlands' Nadine Broersen - to confirm her gold medal.

    Ivan Ukhov comes close to clearing 2.33m on his first attempt, but you don't get anything for close. The bar tips to the ground.

    The Russian still leads however. Ukraine's Bogdan Bondarenko took two jumps to get over 2.30m in the only height he has attempted so far.

    Bondarenko's countryman Andriy Protsenko is also lurking in the competition. He has just failed his first attempt at 2.33m.

    "I do think Dafne Schippers' heart is in heptathlon and she's got unfinished business there.

    "She's made history doing the sprint double at the championships. There was huge expectation in the Netherlands and she did it emphatically. You would say it makes sense for her to concentrate on sprinting, she's right there.

    "But her coach is a former decathlete and they know there is an opportunity for her to score big. We know what she can do in running but her heart is in the heptathlon."

    As Dafne Schippers steps up to claim her 200m gold, it is worth putting her winning time of 22.03 into perspective.

    Blessing Okabare won Glasgow 2014 in 22.25. The next best time this year is American Tori Bowie at 22.18.

    Only Olympic champion Allyson Felix has gone faster since the start of 2011.

    Dafne Schippers of the Netherlands, speaking to BBC Sport after winning gold in the women's 200m: "I was tired after five races but like in the Heptahlon, I know in my mind I can do it. I'm very happy with 22.03. I'm tired but now I'll eat, sleep and rest and tomorrow is a new day."
