Patrick Tiernan is really pushing it along now. It's a big kick from the Aussie, but there's no way he can hang on to this. The rest of the field stick around Mo Farah, like the yellow jersey wearer in a peloton.

Deafening waves of noise rolling round the stadium, chasing Mo Farah round the track.

Mo Farah still looking comfortable as you like in second place. At 3,000m Patrick Tiernan decides he's seen enough and goes off the front.

SHOCK ALERT - nailed on favourite Maria Lasitskene has failed 1.99m at her first attempt, which leaves her in third as it stands.

Selemon Barega of Ethiopia moves to the front and makes a kick away. There are seven laps to go though, he can't win it from here.

The crowd are on their feet. This is Mo Farah's last hurrah. It will fall awfully flat if he doesn't win this...

These guys know that this is currently playing into Mo Farah's hands. Do the Ethiopians have a plan? They need to make it tell around the 3k mark.

A 2:48 secs first kilometre... It's almost jogging for these athletes...

The pace has slowed again. Nine laps left.

Muktar Edris moves to the front, frustrated by this race pace. It's a tactical battle.

But it's a battle that Mo Farah has won time, and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time again.

2012 levels of noise in the stadium. And you don't say that lightly.

Paul Chelimo thinks the only way Mo Farah can be beaten in this race is if he stretches it out from the start.

But no one wants to go with him and Mo seems pretty happy with that.

Paul Chelimo looks around asking for help at the front and finds a lot of deaf ears. The pace slows as a result before Mo Farah and Andrew Butchart take it on.

Both Morgan Lake and Katarina Johnson-Thompson cannot clear 1.97m and they are out of the high jump.

There will be no medals.

Paul Chelimo has decided to run this race hard from the word go. Mo Farah lines up alongside him in second place.

Mo Farah and GB team-mate Andrew Butchart tuck in at the front as we get under way.

By the end of tonight Mo Farah will have completed 300 laps of the track in the world championships. Amazing.

Mo Farah with a bit of Usain Bolt shadow boxing to the camera as his name is called out by the announcer. He loves this stadium, can it carry him to a fourth gold on home turf?

They're off!

We can't predict athletics or write the exact result. Mo is human. He had to go through his toughest test in the 10k. He has had to recover, come out and qualify for the 5k final. There are a trio of Ethiopians waiting for him.

Morgan Lake fails her second jump at 1.97m, as does Katarina Johnson-Thompson.

Both women have one final attempt...

Mo Farah gets a huge ovation from the crowd as the athletes come out. A quick hug from team-mate Andrew Butchart.

Can he make it 11 golds in a row...?
