    "Britain's Dina Asher-Smith - the 'Dasher' nickname being the best athletics example of nominative determinism since Bulgaria's Vania Stambolova stumbled over a hurdle at London 2012 - came to Beijing just hoping to make the World 200m final, yet after successive PBs goes into that showdown as a very real contender for a medal.

    "While Jamaica's Elaine Thompson may be marginal favourite and 100m silver medallist Dafne Schippers will be closing like a Dutch express train in the last 50m, the 19-year-old history student has a chance - and as someone who admits to loving the nerves that come before a race, she will relish every 22-point-something seconds."

    Women's 200m final (14:00 BST)

    Next up for Great Britain is 19-year-old Dina Asher-Smith in the women's 200m final. She has been hugely impressive so far in Beijing. Will she claim a medal?

  5. Proctor goes over 7m againpublished at 13:51

    Women's long jump final

    Shara Proctor is having a great time out there. She goes over seven metres again for the second time in 30 minutes after no British female had ever done so before. Her effort of 7.01m is not as good as her previous attempt of 7.07m, which still leads the competition.

  6. Eaton extends his leadpublished at 13:48

    Men's decathlon

    Ashton Eaton was in the lead after four events in the men's decathlon. He is now even further ahead after a fantastic run in the men's 400m event. A time of 45.00 as he leads the field by a long way. It is the fastest ever 400m time in the decathlon.

    He screams out with arms outstretched as he crosses the line. He picks up 1,060 points to go with the 3,643 he had already earned. He leads by 173 points over Damian Warner. A good first day for American Eaton, who is finished for the day and comes back tomorrow with a large lead.

  7. Vote results - you predicted five medalspublished at 13:45

    So in our vote the majority of you decided that the British gold medal tally after today would be five.

    But we have just seen Shara Proctor break the British long jump record, we have Dina Asher-Smith going later in the 200m and Tiffany Porter in the women's 100m hurdles final, so might it be six? Stay tuned...

  8. How they stand after four eventspublished at 13:43

    This is how it stands after four events of the men's decathlon. The 400m is the last event today, before the remaining five events take place on Saturday.

    The first events in the men's decathlon have been taking place earlier today. American Ashton Easton ran the fastest ever decathlon 100m at the World Championships to take the lead after four events on day one of the competition.

    The Olympic champion ran 10.23 seconds to win the 100m and followed it up with a winning long jump leap of 7.88m.  

    But his lead was of 3.643 points was cut by 56 points after Damian Warner of Canada had a season-best 2.04m in the high jump.

    Easton's fashion sense was also turning head in the Bird's Nest. He sported some interesting head gear, which is apparently a prototype cooling hood to help the world champion recover between events.

    Proctor has seized this moment, she gave everything to that jump. She got it and she can't believe it.

  11. New British record for Shara Proctorpublished at 13:36

    Women's long jump

    It may be all over for Katarina Johnson-Thompson, but Shara Proctor has just produced something sensational.

    Her third jump of the final sees her go to 7.07m, a new British record and she leads the competition.

    She waited to see the distance and is absolutely delighted, bouncing around on the track.

    Will that be the jump that sees Great Britain win their fourth gold medal of this World Championships?

    Mark Taylor:  All this sympathy for KJT. Just no bottle. How long is she going to be afraid of a red flag. Just go for it girl.

    James Stevenson:  Disappointment for KJT again. But the good thing with her is you can say with some confidence we haven't seen her best yet.

    She'll learn, I genuinely think this lady has too much talent to walk away from the sport. She will come back a medallist soon.

    I think it is really evident that she is carrying scar tissue and who wouldn't after such an awful experience for someone so young. I am sure she came into the competition and expected to get through to the final eight, but it was not meant to be.

  15. Johnson-Thompson misses out on a medalpublished at 13:29

    Women's long jump final

    The pain continues for Katarina Johnson-Thompson. She misses out on a medal in the long jump. Two efforts of 6.63m, with a no jump in between, sees her down in 11th place out of 12 finalists.

    As mentioned, only the top eight go on to have three more jumps. She looks close to tears as she can only sit and watch from the sidelines.

    What a horrible World Championships for the 22-year-old.

    Men's 1500m semi-finals

    Lord Sebastian Coe has been talking to BBC Radio 5 live. And he loved the men's 1500m semi-finals, as you would expect given he won two Olympic titles over the distance...

    You might as well have lined them up over 200 metres. Basically sprint speed is always going to matter. Chris made the right move at the right time, Charlie ran a superb race. It's high speed chess, the 1,500m, always figuring out what's going on five strides down the track, particularly when you're in traffic. This is the world of difference between a one-day meet and having to think your way through the rounds.

    Women's long jump

    Shara Proctor has just jumped 6.87m in the long jump before Lorraine Ugen's effort of 6.73m with her third jump. Only the top eight go through to have three more jumps. Katarina Johnson-Thompson is 11th after her first two jumps. She needs to improve with her next jump or is out.

    Charlie Grice is always learning, he's always picking Steve Cram's brains. He's coached by Jon Bigg, Sally Gunnell's husband, so I know she shares her experience from the highest level.

    I knew how hard it would be, the hardest thing is getting through the heats so I am happy to make the final. This year I have been finishing high in all my races so I am getting tactically better. Unfortunately Chris O'Hare did not make it, it would have been nice to have two in the final. Anything can happen now, if I find myself in the right position.
