  1. Lavillenie lighting up the stadiumpublished at 21:05 British Summer Time 22 July 2016

    The floodlights are now at full wattage, lighting up this glorious stadium on a balmy London evening. It’s after 9pm and it’s still 23C - that’s what you want from a summer. 

    There’s plenty going on in the field, Katarina Johnson-Thompson thrilling in the high jump, the sand sweepers (pretty sure that's their official titles) earning their corn as the men’s triple jump has begun. 

    But at the far end of the stadium is Renaud Lavillenie, in supreme form, cleaning 5.90m in the pole vault upping it to 1.95m. The Frenchman has yet to lose in this stadium and he’s unlikely to do so tonight.

    Men's Emsley Carr mile

    The men's Emsley Carr Mile is under way. 

    This annual UK-based event began in 1953, inaugurated by Sir William Carr in memory of his father Sir Emsley Carr, who was a newspaper editor famous for his charitable wartime efforts.  

    Previous British winners include former Olympic champion Lord Sebastian Coe and Steve Ovett.

    Tradition lives on.

    Britain's Eilidh Doyle: "I am really annoyed because I made the same mistake in Monaco and I was feeling really strong and lost a great position.

    "I've had some hard races recently but hopefully I can iron out those mistakes for Rio."

  4. Bosse wins men's 800mpublished at 20:56 British Summer Time 22 July 2016

    Pierre-Ambroise Bosse has bossed it (sorry).

    The Frenchman managed to hold off Canadian Brandon McBride to win in 1:43.88 - a season's best.  

    Ferguson Cheruiyot Rotich finishes in third with London 2012 silver medalist Nijel Amos in fourth. 

    A shout out to Charlie Grice of Britain, too. He secures a personal best 1:45.53 and comes in ninth.

    Botswana's Nijel Amos is up next in the men's 800m.

    He was beaten into second by a sublime run from David Rudisha at London 2012. 

    Britain's Charlie Grice is also competing in this one.

    I hope Eilidh Doyle looks back at this and gets the real difference it makes when you chop your stride like that before the final hurdle. She was full of running but then the brakes go on and she gets caught.

    Gaaaaah, it was there for the taking for Eilidh Doyle but she just lost momentum before the end.

    And you can't do that with Dalilah Muhammad on your tail.

    The American - the fastest in this event this year - skips over to win it and Doyle finishes fourth.

    It was fairly easy for Muhammad in the end. She finished in 53.90 - a full second slower than her season's best.

    Denmark's Sara Petersen is in second and South African Wenda Theron Nel comes in third. Both secured their best times of the year.

    The Scot comes into this race off the back of a win in the Diamond League in Monaco last weekend.

    France's Jimmy Vicaut, who's been in excellent form this year, drives over the line in 9.96 to claim the best heat time overall.

    Jamaica's Julian Forte claims a season's best in second (10:05) and Churandy Martina of the Netherlands in third (10:08)

    Britain's Richard Kilty comes fifth, but his 10:15 is enough to advance to the final.

    Men's 100m heat two

    The next heat for the men's 100m is about to get under way.

    Britain's Adam Gemili was due to be running in this one but he's been a bit sickly this week, so he's sticking to the 200m only.

    So coming up now we have Richard Kilty and Harry Aikines-Aryeetey running in front of a home crowd. Richard Thompson of Trinidad and Tobago takes Gemili's place on the blocks.

    There are seven athletes in that heat going to Rio so it wasn't an easy race. CJ Ujah blasted out of the rocks and just managed to hold on.

    I am little bit surprised about the time because I thought it would be faster given the quality of the field.

    I was not impressed with Christine's run. She's got some work to do between now and Rio. I didn't see any great lift in her legs at the end. Her face looked liks she was struggling but that's one of the easier things to work on, a  bit of speed endurance.

  20. Miller wins women's 400mpublished at 20:09 British Summer Time 22 July 2016

    A clear winner in this one - Shaunae Miller of the Bahamas blitzes over the line first in 49:55 - the fastest time in 2016.

    She also extends her lead in the Diamond League. 

    Jamaican Stephenie Ann McPherson (50:40) finishes in second while American Natasha Hastings (50:49) comes in third. 

    London 2012 silver medalist Christine Ohuruogu struggled over the last 40m and finished in fifth but she gets a season's best of 51.05. 

    Emily Diamond, Anyika Onuora and Seren Bundy-Davies fill the back of the field in seventh, eighth and ninth.
