    Britain's Morgan Lake is putting the crowd through the ringer in the high jump final.

    She makes it over 1.88m, but only at the third and final attempt.

    There is no bigger name in athletics right now than Noah Lyles.

    Following his remarkable treble gold at the World Championships, he has stated his intent to aim even higher this year - hinting he could even look at adding the 4x400m relay to his schedule in pursuit of a historic golden quadruple in Paris.

    It's no surprise to see Lyles and compatriot Christian Coleman qualify as the fastest athletes for tonight's final, and it promises to be quite the race for gold.

    The men's 60m showdown everyone wanted to see is less than two hours away.

    American champion Cole Hocker comes home first, followed by Samuel Pihlstrom of Sweden.

    Ethiopia’s Samuel Tefera is vying to become the first athlete to win three consecutive World Indoor 1500m titles, but he wasn't hugely impressive here, hanging on for third place and a spot in the final.

    Adam Fogg of Britain is out, although replays show he was clearly - albeit accidentally - tripped. The British team may appeal here.

    That was an absolutely nightmare start for Adam Fogg - falls like that can cause serious injury.

    And here, his efforts to try and catch the field seem to have taken their toll. He has fallen well back and will surely fail to make the top three, who qualify for the final.

    No rest here, we are straight into the heats for the men's 1500m.

    Brit Adam Fogg, the third fastest in the field this weekend, is in this first heat - but he suffers an early stumble and falls!

    Fortunately for Fogg, he is able to pick himself up and get up to pace with the rest.

    Take off was good, but it is fine margins and Morgan Lake just scrapes the bar with her rear.

    Lake will be disappointed with that.

    Noah Lyles looked great, it did look like he had a stumble at the start and you cannot afford to have that at this distance.

    I don't think Lyles can make any little mistake in this final as Christian Coleman will be right there.

    Men's 60m

    We've just watched replays of the men's 60m semis. Ferdinand Omanyala had horrendous lane discipline, he was almost all the way over in Shuhei Tada's lane. Both men qualified regardless, but that is definitely one to keep an eye on.

    Also worth noting that Christian Coleman was 0.04 seconds faster than Noah Lyles in the semi-finals. It might only be a semi, but in the 60m that is a chasm of time.

    Crucial that Morgan Lake settles herself in.

    She's indicated to the coach what she needs to correct, looking good and is safely over in her second attempt.

    Hopefully that clearance over 1.84m at the second attempt can settle Morgan Lake down.

    The 26-year-old set a British record of 1.99m about 12 months ago and she can absolutely be a medal contender here.

    She was relieved to see the bar stay up there, avoiding a nervy final jump to stay involved.

    A quick word with coach Robbie Grabarz, who you may be able to pick out in the white jacket there. Lake's podium bid is up and running.

    Much better from Noah Lyles, that is exactly what you expect from him.

    He has come to town not to mess about and he wants to win this title, he is going to use this championships to enhance his whole performance and he has already improved his personal best this indoor season.

    Lyles has put himself out here and is willing to compete against the best sprinters in the world - he is magical to watch.

    Emmanuel Eseme got out of the blocks much better in the first round.

    I was listening to the gun and it was a quick gun, when it is a quick gun you don't have time to settle into the blocks.

    Eseme is literally dead last, but he pulled himself through there by keeping cool and calm.
