"Mark English was a young man with a lot more left in his legs than he believed he had left at 200m left. We said before that if Bosse did anything wrong then Adam Kszczot would be the man to come through. You could see in Mark English's face that he's really happy with that bronze medal.

"Bosse just maybe doesn't have the championship racing experience and he went out too fast and tied up."

"The high jump is being billed as a head to head. Ivan Ukhov is unpredictable but incredible when he gets it right.

"Conversely, Bohan Bondarenko is precise and methodical in everything he does. A world record is weather dependent, but it's one not to miss.

"It's a golden era for high jump and most of them are from Europe. They won't enjoy the wet weather but it's drying out and it's bubbling up to be one of the best contests of the championships."

There is a big high jump face-off just getting going - Olympic champion Ivan Ukhov of Russia against world champion Bohan Bondarenko of Ukraine.

Both have an eye on Cuban great Javier Sotomayor's 21-year-old world record of 2.45m.

"Bosse got it all wrong. It's fine running 51 seconds in the first lap but you have to follow it up. It was a brilliant bronze for Mark English."

Adam Kszczot, the Polish 20-year-old, takes advantage of France's Pierre-Ambroise Bosse's over-ambitious run. Bosse set off with a rocket 50.9 second first lap, but could not back it up and faded horribly in the final 200m.

Kszczot's countryman Artur Kuciapski takes silver with Ireland's Mark English taking a hard-fought bronze.

Bosse finished dead last.

Next on the track is the men's 800m. No Britons involved but it is looking like one of the most hotly-contested finals of the evening with France's Pierre-Ambroise Bosse, the fastest man in qualifying, taking on European champion Marcin Lewandowski and Denmark's Andreas Bube.

Down in the sand, qualifying for Sunday's men's long jump final is under way.

Olympic and Commonwealth champion Greg Rutherford has gone five centimetres short of automatic qualification with a leap of 7.95m.

His great domestic rival Chris Tomlinson clocks in with an opening jump of 7.68m with their team-mate JJ Jegede on 7.64m.

Nothing to get too stressed out about from the rest of the field so far. Rutherford's leap is the best so far with German's Christian Reif, expected to challenge for a medal, is well down on 7.52m.

Weightman's team-mate Hannah England came home fifth by the way - six seconds off her personal best in a time of 4:07.80.

Laura Weightman speaking to BBC Sport after winning bronze in the 1500m: "I'm really pleased with that. I was nervous in the warm-up and didn't know how to play it but with 600m no-one was doing anything so I wanted to push it along.

"At the bell I knew Hassan and Aregawi were going to come past and I couldn't go with them but I'm really pleased to hold on to that bronze.

"I wanted to go with them and hang on for as long as possible and be in a strong bronze, not have anyone coming back to me down the home straight.

"It's been an incredible season, running four-minutes flat, the silver at the Commonwealth Games and now this. Without all of [coach] Steve Cram's championship experience I wouldn't be able to be so relaxed and I believe I can go out there and win those medals."

Laura Weightman is wreathed in smiles as she jogs a lap of the circuit, slapping high-fives and signing programmes. I think she has won a few more Swiss fans with that personal PR drive. Her straight-talking, self-depreciating post-race interview continues the job on the home front.

"Laura has made huge progress this summer. By running four minutes flat in Paris, and then the Commonwealth Games, that was a huge step

"She was chasing a couple of 3.57 runners there and she really went for it, put herself in no-man's land and she was digging deep and holding on. She really had to give everything to hold her form."

Brendan Foster

"That was a world-class field. They're the two best 1500m runners in the world and coming off the back of the Commonwealth Games, Laura has now joined true world-class. The way she got the medal was so impressive.

"She won that medal. She didn't collect it, she worked for it. I was so impressed."

Steve Cram
BBC athletics commentator and Laura Weightman's coach

"It was gutsy and Laura was rewarded with bronze and that's the least she would have wanted. The two at the front are world class.

"I was nervous Laura wouldn't have the legs but you have to have a go, you can't accept they're the best and let them go. She stayed as long as she could and that got her the medal."

Sifan Hassan wins her duel with Abeba Aregawi down the home straight, but Great Britain's Laura Weightman gets her reward after pressing the pace at the start of the final lap.

Weightman hangs on for bronze with the rest of the field struggling to make up the deficit.

On we go, and the women's 1500m final has just been set running.

Great Britain has two chances in this race. Laura Weightman and Hannah England, silver medallists at the Commonwealth Games and World Championships respectively, will fight it out with Netherlands' Sifan Hassan and Sweden's Abeba Aregawi. Both have each broken four minutes twice this season.

"Sometimes athletes have to take a calculated risk. Christine knows she wasn't in shape but she's such a smart girl and will have analysed this and her training has taken her to a certain level of fitness so she had nothing to lose."

Christine Ohuruogu speaking to BBC Sport after finishing fourth in the women's 400m final: "I'm disappointed to finish outside the medals but not heartbroken.

"I was here for something to do. Training at home gets tedious so I thought I would come out and test myself. It's foolish to have a complete year out which I would like ideally.

"We started the year planning just to do the relays at the Commonwealths and Europeans but I thought this might be my only chance to come and compete on the European circuit and I thought I would give it a go.

"I was better than Wednesday but it wasn't enough to get on the podium."

Martyn Rooney speaking to BBC Sport after winning gold in the 400m: "I'm delighted to win it. It's been a long time coming, never won a championships in my life, only British trials, so it's great to win on this stage. I'm pretty happy.

"It wasn't effortless. I've got an incredible team around me and without their support we couldn't be here. I've been part of the system for a long time and it's starting to pay off."
