You can see the British fans everywhere on their feet screaming Mo Farah on. They can tell Mo needs every single person to cheer him up. They know this is a serious race.

We are entering the pain zone now.

Joshua Cheptegei and Geoffrey Kamworor come together once again at the front. Mo Farah still holding strong. Can they run the legs out of the champ?

The crowd are captivated by this. The atmosphere is as if they've just taken the bell but there are just over six laps to go. Farah has his poker-face on - you can't tell what he's thinking - but he's watching every move in front of him.

A 66-second lap is the slowest for a while. Paul Tanui realises the work rate needs to rise and pushes again.

An accidental mexican wave flows around London Stadium as the crowd rise to Farah as he passes by.

What I wouldn't be doing is winding the field up like Mo did because he certainly got a quick response. They didn't like him winding them up.

Eriteria's Aron Kifle shows for the first time. Mo Farah stalking back down in 10th or so.

The Kenyans cannot keep up that furious mid-race accleration. Paul Tanui and Geoffrey Kamworor come off that pedal.

The pace is fluctuating all over the place. Who is going to come out of the spin cycle best?

Mo Farah has a lot of confidence, he's an amazing tactician and has huge experience. He knows the Kenyans can't keep this pace up and that this pace will take it out of them when it really matters.

Farah oozes confidence. he knows the damage hasn't been done, but the Kenyans are now starting to make a move. Mo needs to put his race head on and not play to the crowd.

Kenya counter Mo's mind games.

Bedan Muchiri really presses at the front and Geoffrey Kamworor comes with him.

A couple of 61-second laps. Farah is matching them so far.

Mo has a bit of an advantage. He has 60,000 cheering him on and he has the crowd engaged and cheering him on. Mo is in the place he wants to be. He has the two leaders in his sights.

Mo Farah is playing hide and seek amid the slip stream, keeping a low profile and lurking.

Is the Ugandan-Kenyan alliance feeling the strain at the front? Joshua Cheptegei looks around for someone to take the pace-making strain and there are not too many volunteers.

There are several who think they can win this race. There is one who knows he can win this race. The question is who has got the determination to beat Mo? He is relaxing still.

Ugandan Joshua Cheptegei's turn to push the pace as he works alongside the Kenyans to keep the heat under Mo Farah.

Farah nudges his way up through the field by a place or two in response. They are lapping at 65 seconds still.

They are really shifting at the front. They are trying to make it a true race and surge at the front but Mo Farah knows they can't do this the whole race.

Over the last few years Mo has mesmerised the field but today he is not sitting at the back. He was actually closer to the front after one lap. He's in a sensible place and just relaxing.

These are early days. This is the time for the nervous tension to seep from his body. He looked very, very relaxed on the starting line.

Mo Farah is steady as a rock so far.

The simmering pace is not showing on his face so far. He is content to sit midway through the pack and is not showing any sign of pain.

Leader Geoffrey Kamworor has three and half seconds on him at the head of the field.

These guys mean business. There's definite team tactics going on. They are talking to each other, waving each other through to take over at the front, but Mo Farah is taking this seriously and covering them.
