The leaders have just passed the 8k mark in the Women's Elite Race.
"Dibaba is pushing really hard, but Edna Kiplagat is hanging on in there, she’s making Dibaba work for this.
"Dibaba looks as though she's starting to struggle - unless she's faking it!"
"You can see she doesn't have the miles in her legs."

"I’m very happy and honoured to be asked to assist the start, I can only hope that we’ll have good weather as that will help them enormously."

BBC athletics commentator on BBC Two
"Dibaba won’t just want to win, she’ll want to win well. She has to find out what shape she's in."
She's doing just that at the moment, with Edna Kiplagat the only athlete looking capable of keeping up.
Here's Ralph Weldon from Harrogate explaining what has inspired him to take part in his first Great Manchester Run.
Why do you run?
"I work for the RAF as an Aircraft technician so I need to keep fit. I enjoy running it's easy and free to do all you need is a pair of trainers."
Run history?
"I normally run around Harrogate about two or three times a week for about an hour. I've been running for ten years I like running outdoors and listening to music it helps me clear my head."
Why this race?
"My girlfriend lives in Manchester, she has done a couple of races and suggested I get involved. It's not something I'd ever thought of doing before."
How are you feeling ahead of the run?
"As I've never run an official race before or done anything like this I'm not really sure what to expect. My aim is just to not fail."

Why do you do the Great Manchester Run?
"The shops. It’s a good time to do some shopping. I’m that slow it’s as good a time as any…"
So Chris Chittell, of Emmerdale fame, tells BBC Two's Phil Jones.
The people of Manchester are always very vocal in their support of the Great Manchester Run, as shown here in one of my favourite pictures of last year's event.
If you're out there supporting, send us a picture at #GetInspired on Twitter.

Hope you've had a good warm up.

Shelly Woods has secured her fourth Great Manchester Run wheelchair victory in 25.21, although Jade Jones ran her close in second.
Tirunesh Dibaba is hitting the front of the Elite Women's Race.
"She means business," Steve Cram says.
The Ethiopian is making her comeback following the birth of her first child.
Simon Lawson has avenged his defeat at the hands of Paralympic legend David Weir last year, winning the men’s wheelchair race in 21.20, over three minutes ahead of Brett Crossley in second.
There aren't many more inspirational stories in sport than that of Anthony Crolla.
From British-level scrapper, to burglar-wrestling sweetheart, to WBA lightweight world champion - the Mancunian has enjoyed quite a rise.
The champ is running with his 'Crolla's Army' today... but more on them later.

A touching tribute to Kirsty Howard on BBC Two just now, who raised millions of pounds for charity through the Great Manchester Run despite being born with her heart back to front.
She tragically died in October 2015 aged 20, and David Beckham sent in some words in her memory.
"My heart and love go to Kirsty for letting me be a small part of your world."
