    Britain's Christine Ohuruogu is coming up in the women's 400m at 20:05 BST. 

    A gold medalist at Beijing 2008, the 32-year-old picked up a silver here in 2012, finishing behind American Sanya Richards-Ross in the final.

    Ohuruogu was forced out of the British Championships in Birmingham last month because of a virus but returns to action tonight, as she prepares for her fourth Olympics.

    The hospitality section to my left is bustling. Lord Seb Coe is among them, doing what every top banana does, mingling with the crowd - or do they call it networking?

    The suited Coe seems to be enjoying himself, as do the rest of the VIPs, sipping expensive bubbly, animately chatting as top-class sport plays out in front of them.

    On the track, Katarina Johnson-Thompson is warming up for the high jump. Did the heptathlete notice the roars as Jessica Ennis-Hill produced a season’s best in the 100m hurdles? Who knows.

    It's all gone a bit West Ham United at the Olympic Stadium. With Premier League football come new seats, swanky hospitality and football pictures adorning walls. Not that I'm complaining, I'm a big fan of the cushioned seats in the media section. White leather, too. Naturally.

  7. Reaction to GB's record-breaking 4x100m winpublished at 19:55 British Summer Time 22 July 2016

    Asha Philip: "We came here to show that we can win a medal in Rio and that proves it."

    Desiree Henry: "This tells the rest of the world that we are going to Rio intent on winning a medal. I'm so happy with the time. Wow!

    Dina Asher-Smith: "To have done that in front of this amazing crowd on our own track is amazing."

    Daryll Neita: "We put in the work and got the result."

    Desiree Henry was brilliant value in her interview on BBC Red Button. Infectious enthusiasm. But then the quartet did run a national record and a world-leading time.

    Women's 100m hurdles heat two

    Woooosh. An incredible run from Kendra Harrison in the second heat of the women's 100m hurdles. 

    The American speeds home in 12:40 to set a stadium record, as Cindy Ofili of Britain finishes fifth.   

    Unfortunately we won't see Harrison at Rio, as she failed to finish in the top three during qualification trials.

    Her start wasn't brilliant but once she's in her running flow she attacks the hurdles and is so good at the latter part of the race, it keeps her in the game.

    It was Ennis-Hill's second fastest time ever...yikes.

    There's no heptathlon at the Anniversary Games, but it hasn't stopped Olympic champion Jessica Ennis-Hill getting involved.

    The Briton is warming up now for the 100m hurdles - her strongest discipline - with the heats starting at 19:40 BST. She's up against fellow Team GB runner Tiffany Porter, while three of the best American hurdlers are also involved. 

    The final is at 21:15 BST

    Ennis-Hill is then back for more on Saturday, as she competes in the long jump against compatriot and fellow multi-events star Katarina Johnson-Thompson.

    What a way to kick-start the evening. A tremendous performance from the team with a new national record.

    A British record for this foursome at 41:82. 

    Solid changeovers throughout, and after the Netherlands folded early doors, Daryll Neita drove home with ease.

    GB's B team finished fourth as well. A decent start to proceedings in front of a home crowd.

    Athletes still talk about London 2012 because it's a special place for them. It's a place where they feel they can run well. And let's hope that Usain Bolt can shine tonight.

    Here he is, the big man, preparing for race day.

    Usain Bolt posted this on Twitter earlier, and he's currently being driven round the track at the Olympic Stadium being introduced to the expectant crowd. 

    I found out today Usain also has his own set of emojis.

    He really is living the dream.
