    Women's pole vault final

    Holly Bradshaw is the fourth to go at 4.80m. No-one has cleared it yet.

    Bradshaw closes her eyes, has a quiet word with herself - oh, and she goes sideways! She's not best pleased as she goes wobbling to the right and knocks the bar off.

    Two more chances...

    Miguel Francis looked very relaxed as he came off the bend. I don't think he expected Brown on his left would make that surge at the end but you have to be looking out for that.

    He was totally relaxed compared to everyone else. He looked the class of the field.

    Rob Meech: I’d love to know what was going through the mind of the first person ever to attempt the pole vault.

    You're not wrong Rob. Here's another image to show how crazy these dudes are. Keep in touch with us on #bbcathletics ladies and gents. What event was your strength? Anyone got any good athletics trophies or medals knocking about? Send us a picture.

    Right then. 17 has become 12 in the pole vault final.

    Holly Bradshaw is about make her first attempt at 4.80...

    Michael Johnson says the one thing he has noticed from those seven 200m heats is that Great Britain's Adam Gemili looks good.

    Here's what Gemili had to say after winning heat one.

    Lyle's a tremendous talent and this is his first World Championships. He has said he wants to be the face of the sport and he is doing a really good job so far of establishing himself as such.

    When you are Noah Lyles, you've got think you'll be good enough to qualify whatever semi-final you're in. He ran 19.65 in the Diamond League in Paris and he told me afterwards that he was in heavy training. Is he going to run a world record? I think he's going for Michael Johnson's American record.

    So to Noah Lyles, heat seven. He seems to have some kind of silver spray in his hair. A medal of the same colour will be a disappointment.

    He's the fourth-fastest man in history over this distance. It's close at the bend but Lyles puts a bit of effort in and gets clear, only to be caught and taken by Jareem Richards of Trinidad.

    Lyles hits 20.26 seconds and is beaten but through. His coach may well give him a few words after that and he will now maybe have a tougher semi-final.

    Richards was home in 20.23.

    Lyles has matched Usain Bolt for the most sub-20 second 200m races in a season. Many say he is a big personality and that is good for the sport.

    Noah Lyles has actually run quicker over 100m and 200m than Usain Bolt did at the exact same age - 22.

    “Whatever Usain did is awesome. The man ran incredible times… I’m going to break that, and then I’m going to get even bigger than him."

    Those were the words of Noah Lyles in early 2019. He goes next in the final heat of the 200m.

    Big words, big talent.

  12. Check for threats...published at 18:47 British Summer Time 29 September 2019

    Men's 200m heat

    Andre de Grasse of Canada is the man to beat in heat six of the 200m. He looks left and right repeatedly in the final 60m to check for threats but he is through in 20.20.

    Clarence Munyai of South Africa and Serhiy Smelyk of Ukraine join him in the semi-finals.

    Now, to heat seven, with a big name...

  13. Great picture...published at 18:43 British Summer Time 29 September 2019

    Cuba's Yarisley Silva has been snapped in the pole vault and, my oh my, I would not fancy hurling into the air with my back parallel to the ground like this.

    Yikes.

    Britain's Miguel Francis, speaking to BBC Sport: "In my eyes, I saw I was in front. It does really matter to me. I have to refocus again and prepare for tomorrow. The guys are looking really good. I expected these guys to come out and run really fast, bring their A-game. It should be really interesting."

    Sometimes the athletes have to remember you're running for lanes in the later rounds, so if you can win the race and do a bit of leaning, do that!

    This was a good, competitive race. The athletes are really stepping up now. Francis looked controlled all the way through.

  16. 'Run through the line!'published at 18:40 British Summer Time 29 September 2019

    Francis through in 200m heats

    To heat five of the 200m, where Miguel Francis competes for Great Britain. On PBs alone he should make the top three to progress but there are a few threats.

    Montserrat-born sprinter Francis competed at the 2015 World Championships for Antigua & Barbuda, where he moved with his family as a baby.

    Now he's decked out in the GB blue and white colours. Lane five, he starts solidly. Tight as they hit the bend. Francis ahead and he looks in control. He hits the line with Canada's Aaron Brown.

    Francis eases down too much and gets done on the line by Brown (20.11). That will impact lane draw in the semi-final. Jamaica's Rasheed Dwyer in third (20.37).

    "If you can run through the finish line and finish first, please do," says BBC Sport pundit Michael Johnson.

    It's certainly less humid today. It's a little cooler - or maybe we're getting used to the heat.

    Gemili wins through 200m heats

    BBC Sport

    Britain's Adam Gemili, speaking to BBC Sport: "To mentally park [yesterday] for the moment was difficult. but I've been working a lot on my psychology. It felt pretty good

    "I wanted to get a good semi-final for tomorrow so hopefully this has guaranteed that. A bit of redemption for yesterday because I feel like a let a lot of people down, which was disappointing for me.

    "I feel like I maybe should have taken a little bit off that run but it was a point to prove - that I can mix it with the world's best."

    On yesterday's photo-finish image: "In the heat of the moment, when I was still a bit upset, someone showed it to me. I shouldn't have done that [posted the picture]. It wasn't mature of me to do that. Seeing the replays, they made the right decision. It is what it is. It's sport - just deal with it."
