A massive win for Lynsey Sharp!

The Scot is the strongest of a breakaway group of three, overhauling Natoya Goule and then holding off Australia's Catriona Bisset.

Sharp is clocked at 1:58.61.

A Brit-heavy field is lead by in-form Lynsey Sharp of Scotland.

The 29-year-old is the eighth fastest in the world this year and may have the beating of domestic rivals Shelayna Oskan-Clarke, Alexandra Bell and Adelle Tracey.

However Jamaica's Natoya Goule - the fourth fastest woman in the world this year - might be a different matter. Goule was second in the Diamond League meeting in Monaco, a race in which Sharp finished fourth.

Caster Semenya is not in the race but just for reference is nearly three seconds faster than anyone else in the world this year.

I am still hoping that the pace of Fraser-Pryce can drag Asher-Smith to a personal best which would be a new British record.

She's on her home track, she's a champion herself and that should also elevate her performance.

10.85 seconds is Dina Asher-Smith's British record mark. If it doesn't go today, it looks likely to be broken at some point later this season.

Dafne Schippers and Michelle-Lee Ahye also get a pass into the 100m final on the back of their times, 11.15 and 11.21 respectively.

Punchy.

Dina Asher-Smith is fastest out of the blocks and keeps her form well to keep clear of the field.

Marie Josee Ta Lou is second in 10.96 with Blessing Okagbare in 11.10. Germany's Gina Luckenkemper grabs a lucky loser spot.

Dina Asher-Smith is roared to the rafters of the London Stadium as her name is read out over the public address system.

A final high hop and then the field settle into their blocks.

Dina Asher-Smith sets a season's best of 10.91 seconds in finishing second behind Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce at the Lausanne Diamond League meeting earlier this month.

Can she go faster today?

She expects to.

Can she beat her British record of 10.85 seconds set at last year's European Championships?

She hopes to.

Here she is then...

Dina Asher-Smith makes her first appearance in London since obliterating the opposition on her way to a sprint double at last summer's European Championships.

She has finished second on her previous two Diamond League outings this season, but in swift 10.94 and 10.91 times in Rome and Lausanne respectively.

According to the new IAAF world rankings,, external she is the best 100m runner in the world.

She has Ivory Coast's Marie-Josee Ta Lou, who has run 10.93 this season, and Rabat Diamond League winner Blessing Okagbare for company.

Fellow Britons Rachel Miller, Daryll Neita and Kristal Awuah are also in the field.

There was a calmness about the way Fraser-Pryce ran. It's effortless the way she glides over the track but that was a sensational run.

What you see in there is the calmness Shelly-Ann has in the race. She has shut down on 70m, checked out her position on the big screen, and that is championship running.

Fraser-Pryce ran hard for 80m then just cruised through into a very slight headwind. She was clear and gone, and made it look very comfortable.

The Jamaican eased off in the final 15m and still come home in 10.95.

Germany's Tatjana Pinto is second in 11.12 and Murielle Ahoure third in 11.15.

They are through to this afternoon's final. Dafne Schippers (11.15) and Michelle-Lee Ahye (11.21) will wait on one of three fastest loser spots.

Britain's Imani Lansiquot was sixth in 11.24 with Asha Philip just behind in 11.37.

Wonder what sort of form Fraser-Pryce is in after her maternity leave? Her opponents might have preferred not to see her jaw-dropping anchor leg in yesterday's 4x100m relay...

You might think that the event organisers might softball star turn Dina Asher-Smith with a 100m field full of stooges.

No chance.

In this first heat, two-time Olympic and three-time world 100m champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is paired along with Flying Dutchwoman Dafne Schippers, who has claimed medals at two world 100m finals.

Also look out for Ivory Coast's Murielle Ahoure, who is yet to recapture her lightning best.

Up-and-comer Imani Lansiquot is representing Britain.

Jamaica's long-striding Akeem Bloomfield comes through strong along the second half of the home straight to win in 44.40.

Jonathan Jones was second and perfectly happy with a new Barbados national record in 44.63.

Elsewhere Rabah Yousif was eighth in 45.52.

This is a race suffering from its proximity to the US Championships next weekend. Seven of the fastest men in the world this year are American and all have opted for rest rather than a jet-legged payday.

You gotta feel for Jonathan Jones. The 20-year-old from Barbados ran a personal best time of 44.64 seconds in Monaco last week, but it didn’t count as Jones was running along having failed to notice that the race had stopped because of a false start. You can see that here., external

Jones is the fastest in the field on 2019 times although he will come under plenty of pressure from Jamaican duo Demish Gaye and Akeem Bloomfield.

Lawrence Okoye is making his discus comeback seven years after he quit the sport for an NFL career.

The British record holder, 27, took up American football in 2012 shortly after a disappointing 12th place finish at London 2012. He also had offers to study at Oxford University and play Premiership rugby before heading stateside.

Okoye joined the San Francisco 49ers practice squad in 2014 but failed to make an NFL appearance.

Okoye still holds the British discus record of 68.24m, a mark he set at the Hallesche Werfertage meeting in May 2012.

He has opened up with a throw of 60.80m. Which seems pretty decent after seven years away.

The season's top discus thrower Sweden's Daniel Stahl is the hot favourite to hoover up the discus spoils.

But there is a top-quality field vying to unseat him. World champion Andrius Gudzius, Olympic champion Christoph Harting and 2019's second-best Jamaican Fedrick Dacres are also in the competition.

There is also a blast from the past on the startlist...
