    Scotland's Neil Gourley and Jake Wightman spoke to BBC Sport's Jeanette Kwakye after qualifying for the men's 1500m final:

    Neil Gourley on recovering from Covid:

    "It's been a refreshing couple of weeks to start feeling like myself again. It couldn't really be worst preparation than last time - so we're winning there.

    "Glad to do the job today alongside Jake, finishing very cleanly."

    Jake Wightman on life as a world champion:

    "That was the bit I was most looking forward to because it was the first realisation that happened was being announced as it, so yeah a nice moment.

    "Even though I'm wearing a Scotland vest I feel like every English fan got behind us a bit there as well, which is always nice."

    On deciding what to run at the Commonwealth Games:

    "It was tough to decide what I was going to do here - try and do the 1500m after the Worlds and the 800m but the more I got into my training, I thought it would be nice to try and add a commonwealth title to it so anything from this season on is a bonus.

    "I don't feel any more pressure but a bit more hype around it, for sure."

    Over to the men's 200m heats now.

    There will be eight in total, with the top-two spots guaranteeing a semi-final place.

    Three of the top medal contenders have withdrawn, in 2018 silver medallist Aaron Brown, world finalist Luxolo Adams and Rasheed Dwyer of Jamaica.

    Who's left? Well, England’s Zharnel Hughes returns after crossing the line first in the 2018 final - before being disqualified during his lap of honour for impeding eventual champion Jereem Richards. He goes in heat three.

    Elsewhere, in heat two we'll see Nigerian Udodi Onwuzurike, winner of the world under-20 title a year ago, and in heat four is defending champion Richards.

    England's Adam Gemili is in heat six, along with Guernsey's Joe Chadwick and Jersey's Zachary Saunders.

    But no chance of fastest loser spots.
