There is no doubt from the world record holder who has also won this title before.

Coleman knows Lyles well and having Lyles next to him may have helped, just stealing half a yard more will have made a difference with the Noah Lyles charge that we have witnessed.

Lyles literally just ran out of track, Coleman did it the best today.

That was such a strong performance by Christian Coleman, he pretty much had that wrapped up at halfway with such a powerful start.

Disappointment for Noah Lyles - but he has bigger targets to aim for later this year.

Christian Coleman (USA) - 6.41secs

Noah Lyles (USA) - 6.44

Ackeem Blake (Jamaica) - 6.46

Ferdinand Omanyala (Kenya) - 6.56

Henrik Larsson (Sweden) - 6.56

Emmanuel Eseme (Cameroon) - 6.68

Shuhei Tada (Japan) - 6.70

Chituru Ali (Italy) - 8.00

Coleman is the world champion again, he says 'this is my event'!

Christian Coleman burst out of the blocks and dominated that race!

6.41 seconds, Noah Lyles left in his dust with 6.44.

The compatriots hug at the end.

Ackeem Blake of Jamaica takes the bronze.

Here we go...

See you on the other side.

Anyone else weirdly nervous?

This has the feeling of a genuinely big event. A scene setter ahead of the Olympics this summer.

A huge roar by Noah Lyles as he is introduced on the blocks.

Noah Lyles will use the crowd and 60m is such a technical event, there is no room for error.

The blocks have to be right and you have to stay composed.

All eight men are out into the arena to a good response from the crowd.

The final is moments away.

Christian Coleman looked so good in those semi-finals and he is a master at 60m.

He knows this is where he comes into his real form, compact, dynamic and explosive - just needs to keep his head together.

Christian Coleman has been quicker today, but you feel Noah Lyles has held plenty back.

The showman has been in a relaxed, happy mood today. Will he bring his A-game when it matters?

It has a been a pleasing turnout for the first night of action here in Glasgow, and nobody is leaving early.

Noah Lyles. Christian Coleman. It would be quite a shock if the gold medal was not won by one of the two Americans.

But who will it be? Both men now share the world lead, having both run 6.43 seconds in 2024.

It's going to come down to the finest margins. Or, alternatively, who ends up in the lane closest to Ferdinand Omanyala, given the Kenyan's propensity to stray from his own lane today...

There is an air of anticipation inside the Emirates Arena. The big Friday night finale is approaching.

Christian Coleman (USA) - 6.43 seconds in semi-final

Noah Lyles (USA) - 6.47

Ackeem Blake (Jamaica) - 6.51

Emmanuel Eseme (Cameroon) - 6.52

Ferdinand Omanyala (Kenya) - 6.52

Chituru Ali (Italy) - 6.53

Henrik Larsson (Sweden) - 6.55

Shuhei Tada (Japan) - 6.56

Just one event left tonight - and it's a huge one.

The men's 60m final. Amid a high quality field, one battle stands out: Noah Lyles v Christian Coleman.

Last call for cups of tea and glasses of wine. You do not want to miss this.

Laviai Nielsen will be back in action tomorrow night, in the women's 400m final.

There she'll go up against Dutch great Femke Bol.

Here's how the Brit progressed.

Italy's Leonardo Fabbri has a medal secured as we go into the final round of throws, can he improve with his last effort... no, red flag. With 21.96m, he earns bronze.

New Zealand's Tom Walsh is the only man who can stop Ryan Crouser - but with his last throw, he can't improve on 22.07m. He takes silver.

And that leaves Ryan Crouser of the USA as the world indoor champion. His final throw lands just shy of his best effort of 22.77m - but it doesn't matter. Another gold to add to his sizable collection.

Ryan Crouser has just sent his biggest throw yet - 22.77 metres. That's 0.7m ahead of Tom Walsh in second.

The American looks to have gold sewn up.

GB's Morgan Lake, speaking to BBC Sport after placing sixth in the women's high jump: "I didn't have the start I was hoping for. I had the first attempts up until the big height and I knew I would have stuff in my legs to keep going - every single jump I knew I could clear the height.

"I never doubt myself in any of the jumps and I made it a little bit hard for myself."

On not clearing 1.97m: "Going into it I had a feeling I had to get 1.97 and that would be a medal.

"I knew I could do it. Doing them two attempts at 1.97 and not clearing it, I don't know how that happened.

"Sadly, I didn't execute that and I am not going to shy away that I was hoping to get a medal at these championships.

"My season going into it wasn't great and maybe that is something I look back at.

"After this competition I want to go again, I still have that fight in me. I am so excited for the summer a block of training and then it opens up outdoors!"

No athlete had ever defended a world pentathlon title - until now.

History made by Noor Vidts.

There's a tussle going on for bronze, between Dutch Sofie Dokter and Italy's Sveva Gerevini.

Gerevini is leading the 800m and looks like she will take third overall...

No! Sofie Dokter on the final lap pushes through to take the lead, and with both women stumbling all over the place as fatigue takes hold, she does enough for the bronze medal.
