Ian Bradley, external: Childs play, the British golden games roll on.

Anna Titimets sticks out her chest on the finishing line to grab silver in a personal best 54.56 sec. Irina Davydova, the defending champion, has to settle for silver. It was a season's best 54.60sec for the Russian, though.

"A great strong solid performance by Eilidh Childs. She kept to her game-plan. If she had made any type of mistake going into the last barrier, that gold medal would not have been hers. It was a beautifully, well-timed race and well done - she will be really pleased."

Her rivals were gaining ground, but Eilidh Child becomes the European 400m hurdles champion, clocking 54.48 secs.

Europe's number one didn't celebrate immediately, preferring to wait for official confirmation before clenching the fist and breaking out in a glorious smile.

"Eilidh Childs is looking a little anxious because she knows she is going to have to be at her absolute best to take the title."

Eilidh Child is on the track. The Scot, a Commonwealth silver medallist, has just removed her t-shirt which suggests she's ready for action. The 27-year-old is tipped to improve on her Commonwealth silver, but she must look out for Anna Titimets and Denisa Rosolova, who are the only other athletes to have broken 55 seconds this season.

Olha Saladukha is on course for a third straight European triple jump title. The Ukrainian leads the final with a 14.73m jump. Russia's Yekaterina Koneva has just closed the gap, moving to second with a 14.69m effort.

Rachel, external: Adam Gemili's mum should be so proud of him. What a wonderful ambassador for athletics. Congratulations.

Fish-finger sandwiches. That is the secret to being a 400m medallist at the European Championships.

Or at least that seems to be the case after Matthew Hudson-Smith, who followed team-mate Martyn Rooney home yesterday to claim a fantastic silver, tells BBC One he loves fish-finger butties and has had them smuggled into the team hotel.

Acrobatics from Renaud Lavillenie as he joyously somersaults after clearing 5.80m on his first first attempt. The Frenchman has only vaulted twice so far this afternoon but it's enough to secure him the title. Will he go for that world record?

The Irish team celebrate as Thomas Barr digs deep to secure third spot - and it's an Irish record, too, for the men in green who clocked 3:03.57. Russia (3:03.19) comfortably won while Poland were second in 3:03.52.

Just 24 hours after winning gold, Martyn Rooney helped Britain's 4x400m relay team to the final. "There's no rest for the wicked," he said. "To be honest if I had stayed in bed all day today I probably would have been more fatigued tomorrow."

Team-mate Michael Bingham added: "If we keep running like this as a team, keep working together, we are capable of setting records."

"That is a very good performance from that British quartet in the men's 4x400m relay. Those four have done very well. Nigel Levine led them off very well and Mr Martyn Rooney bought it home in a 44.6 secs last leg and made it look like he was out for a stroll."

Joining Britain in the final are France, who were second in 3:00.80, and third-placed Germany (3:02.41). Martyn Rooney ran the last leg in an impressive 44.60sec, but says: "I was jogging".

Rabah Yousif hangs on to present Martyn Rooney the baton in the lead. The European 400m champion, wearing shades on a sunny afternoon in Zurich, comfortably steers his team home, winning in 3:00.65.

As the curtains rise for the biggest, brashest, boldest show in football, it is another Rooney who has been making headlines. "Martyn finally sheds his nearly man tag," says the Daily Mirror of Martyn Rooney's 400m gold on Friday.

The Briton is back in action TODAY, taking charge of the last leg in the men's 4x400m heats which begins NOW.

Victoria Ohuruogu helps GB's women qualify for the 4x400m final, then reveals it's the first time she has run the relay without her rather famous big sister Christine.

"She is like the mum to this relay group and she had a little chat with us before the race," she said. "It was quite nice stepping out by myself and hopefully I did an OK job."

There will be no medal for Steve Lewis, who tumbles out of the competition after two failures at 5.70m. Three athletes have cleared 5.70m, while defending champion Renaud Lavillenie decides to skip that height and move tot he next. That's confidence.

Talking after the British women qualify for the women's 4x400m final. "I think that was a pretty good run but the question is going to be who is going to come in?

"Will Jodie Williams get a run, will Christine Ohuruogu be brought in? There are some really interesting decisions to be made and to see who will get a chance to run for glory tomorrow."

The first gold medal of the day is awarded to [dramatic pause] Hungary's Krisztian Pars, who threw a world leading 82.69m on his final attempt to successfully defend his title.

Finishing behind the Olympic champion in second is world champion Pawel Fajdek (82.05m) and the bronze goes to Russia's Sergey Litvinov after a season's best 79.35m.
