    BBC Sport

    Britain's Amy-Eloise Markovc set a season's best in the women's 5,000m heats but she finished 11th to miss out on a place in the final.

    The event was meant to take place earlier today but was moved to the evening session because of the heat in Budapest.

    "I think it was really positive in the end," she told BBC TV. "You just have to roll with the punches a little bit. It gave us a little more time to prepare and obviously it was a little bit more cooler in the evening."

    On how the race went for her:

    "A bit disappointed and to be honest, I've had so much happen this season. I could cry right now because I'm just really proud to be back racing and I know that wasn't a brilliant performance by any means but just the fact I'm out there competing and fighting back.

    "I know the fitness is there and I'm excited for Paris next year. This year was about dealing with a lot of change and changing my set-up. I've got a really good team around me and can only hope we can keep building momentum from here now that I've got my feet beneath me."

    Women’s 3,000m steeplechase heats (18:53 BST)

    There are three heats and the top five in each reach the semi-finals.

    Heat 1: Kenya’s world record holder and 2019 world champion Beatrice Chepkoech was unable to defend her title last year because of a stress fracture in her ankle. Bahrain’s Winfred Yavi was fourth at each of the past two World Championships. Aimee Pratt was an excellent seventh last year.

    Heat 2 (19.08 BST): Uganda’s Olympic champion Peruth Chemutai hasn’t been able to have such a global impact over the past two years. Ethiopia’s 18-year-old Sembo Almayew nearly broke the nine-minute barrier in June.

    Heat 3 (19.23 BST): Commonwealth champion Jackline Chepkoech of Kenya set a world-leading time of 8:57.35 at the London Athletics Meet in July. She’s only 19.

    Women's 5,000m heats

    Amy-Eloise Markovc of Great Britain set a new season's best of 15:13.66 and that sees her come 11th out of 20 racers in the second heat, but only the top eight will move on to the final.

    Ha. Unbelievable.

    As I was saying about Sifan Hassan, never a dull moment.

    What was that all about?! In the heats, with both Hassan and Faith Kipyegon comfortably on course to qualify, the pair engage in a sprint to the line with Hassan dipping her head to beat the 1500m champion.

    Mind games? Ego? That could be a very fun final on Saturday, but unfortunately there'll be no Brits in the mix.

    It's so, so hard because the fatigue is building up in your legs and particularly in these humid conditions. It's warm and that saps the energy just a little bit more which makes it even more impressive that Sifan Hassan is doing this.

    It was only a heat, but Netherlands' Sifan Hassan and Kenya's Faith Kipyegon, third and first respectively in the 1500m final yesterday, treat it like a final, dipping at the line in a sprint finish.

    Hassan gets it by two hundredths of a second. Also through are Ejgayehu Taye (Ethiopia, third), Freweyni Hailu (Ethiopia, fourth), Lilian Kasait Rengeruk (Kenya, fifth), Nozomi Tanaka (Japan, sixth), Nadia Battocletti (Italy, seventh) and Laura Galvan (Mexico, eighth).

    Women's pole vault final

    Britain's Molly Caudery has made a bad start in the women's pole vault final, failing at her first attempt at her opening height of 4.3m, but has another couple of goes to fix it.

    Caudery, 23 and ranked 19th in the world, has a personal best of 4.71m.

    Apparently, Sifan Hassan - contesting six races in eight days assuming she safely makes the 5,000m final here - went and did a short session over on the warm up track AFTER winning 1500m bronze last night.

    The London Marathon winner is having quite the championships.

    Having set out to challenge in three events, she took that dramatic late fall in the 10,000m but bounced back yesterday to ensure she will not leave empty-handed.

    There never seems to be a dull moment when Hassan is in the mix but she's leading this one all the way to try and minimise the chance of any issues arising.

    It was very brave for 19-year-old Agata Caune to decide to just go out and run hard in this weather for 15 minutes. She has succeeded. Her tactics worked. She hung on.

    Nineteen-year-old Latvian Agate Caune had a lead of about 150m at one stage, before she was reeled in by the others in the first of the two 5,000m heats.

    But, with pain etched on her face, she managed to just find enough energy to come fourth, while slicing three seconds off her personal best to qualify in fourth position.

    Those also through were Beatrice Chebet (Kenya, first), Gudaf Tsegay (Ethiopia, second), Margaret Chelimo Kipkemboi (Kenya, third), Elise Cranny (United States, fifth), Alicia Monson (United States, sixth), Medina Eisa (Ethiopia, seventh) and Maureen Koster (Netherlands, eighth).

    This is not the first nor last time I’ll mention the temperature in Budapest during these championships.

    I've just gone to eat the croissant I smuggled out of the breakfast buffet this morning and it felt oven fresh.

    It is hot – and it will absolutely be having an effect on how the athletes are preparing, competing and recovering.

    It was deemed too hot to run the women’s 5,000m heats this morning. Many would argue it was too hot for 50m.

    It still doesn't feel much cooler now, although the sun is no longer beating down on the track at least.

    Katie Moon (seventh to go) beat the post-Olympic blues to add the world title last year – this time the American starts as clear favourite for a third successive global outdoor title, having registered four of the top six clearances in the world this year.

    With New Zealand’s Eliza McCartney failing to reach the final, the only other athlete to clear 4.80m outdoors this year is Finland’s European champion Wilma Murto (10th to vault). Last year’s World silver and bronze medallists Sandi Morris of the USA (fourth to vault) and Aussie Nina Kennedy (third to vault) are other obvious contenders. British champion Molly Caudery is eighth to compete.

    Latvia's Agate Caune went very, very early and sprinted clear in the 5,000m - which is probably going to hurt very soon.

    But, at the 3,200m mark, she is about 130m ahead. She only needs to come in the top eight so will be hoping her energy levels, in really high temperatures, can last.
