Worrying times for Katarina Johnson-Thompson. She fouls on her second attempt. British team-mate Lorraine Ugen recorded a jump of 6.85m on her second go, but it will not be enough for a medal.

It is good news, bad news for Great Britain. Charlie Grice comes fourth in the second semi-final to move into the final. But it is a fast semi-final, so Chris O'Hare does not secure one of the two fastest loser spots and is out.

So Chris O'Hare is left sweating on the second semi-final. Charlie Grice of Britain is in contention.

Chris O'Hare punches the track in frustration. It will be a cruel way to miss out on the final if he fails to get there.

He was third with 300m to go, second with 80m left before a flurry of bodies go past him on the line. He comes seventh. Only the top five qualify automatically, as do the two fastest losers.

There is a slight hope for O'Hare, but he is furious with himself.

After what has happened in the heptathlon, you can understand why Katarina Johnson-Thompson plays it safe. She decelerates into the board, taking off 21cm short of it and records a distance of 6.63m. It probably won't be anywhere near enough for a medal but an early loosener.

It is fast and frantic in the Bird's Nest stadium. Great Britain's Chris O'Hare and Charlie Grice will race in the men's 1500m semi-finals at 12:55 BST.

The athletes then have to go through a bizarre routine where they all have to line-up one in front of each other and smile for the camera. Well, some smile, some look extremely focused. But it is thumbs up from Katarina Johnson-Thompson.

Lorraine Ugen is first up. But her first attempt is red-flagged. That looked a long jump of around 7m but she was 1.9cm into the plasticine.

As well as Katarina Johnson-Thompson, the British record holder Shara Proctor is also competing in the long jump final.

But she will have to better her qualifying jump of 6.68m, well short of her best of 6.98m.

And competing the British trio is Lorraine Ugen, who impressed with a jump of 6.87m in qualifying.

"There is one clear favourite for this: USA's Tianna Bartoletta, world champion aged 19 a decade ago and the only woman in the field to go past seven metres this summer. 

"But her best is only 14 centimetres longer than the British record that Shara Proctor set a month ago, and 20cm better than Proctor's GB team-mate Lorraine Ugen has jumped this year.

"With Katarina Johnson-Thompson also looking to make up for her heptathlon disappointment last weekend, a British medal is a real possibility."

"I've had to sit and live with my thoughts for the last few days so it has been hard. When people were nice to me that's when I started to get upset."

It has been a tough week for Katarina Johnson-Thompson, but the crying could soon be replaced by celebrations.

She is among the 12 competitors in the long jump after her second jump of 6.79m, following a first attempt of 6.54m, saw her qualify in fifth position.

"I'm very grateful to be able to represent the country in the long jump as well as the heptathlon, so I have a chance to rectify my mistake," she said.

This was the screensaver that Great Britain's Katarina Johnson-Thompson used for motivation following her disqualification from the long jump in the heptathlon on Sunday, that ended her chance of a medal in the event.

But the extra motivation has done the trick as the 22-year-old jumped 6.79m to qualify for the long jump final at 12:50 BST.

She will be joined by Brits Lorraine Ugen, who impressed with a jump of 6.87m and Shara Proctor who qualified in eleventh place with 6.68m.

Another faller in the third semi-final. Croatia's Andrea Ivancevic is on the deck, before America's Brianna Rollins goes on to restore some national pride by winning the third semi-final.

Aaron York:  How can you not know the false start rule?

GB:  This 1 false start rule continues to be ridiculous, you want to see people win 4 being the best not thro DQ

Britain's Goldie Sayers is out of the javelin after fouling on her final attempt.

Her furthest throw of 58.28 won't be enough to make the final.
