Everywhere you look here, there will be men who think they've got a chance of a medal.

Kenya's Abel Kipsang is taking this out - and it's fast.

Compatriot and Olympic silver medallist Timothy Cheruiyot comes through to join him at the front, with England's Elliot Giles hovering in third.

And we're away!

Jake Wightman, Neil Gourley, Josh Kerr, Jake Heyward, Matt Stonier, Elliot Giles. Who can bring home a medal?

Wales' Taylor Bevan will fight for a gold medal after a thrilling battle with England's Aaron Bowen.

Both men had 19 points a piece going into the final round and there was fantastic scenes in the final seconds as neither boxer stood down from a shoot-out.

Bowen takes a deserved bronze medal while Bevan will face Scotland's Sean Lazzerini in the final on Sunday.

Here we go then.

Ready for this? It should be some race.

Huge cheers as the names of the home nations athletes are announced to the crowd.

Danni Wyatt is leading England's innings, hitting the boundary with a cut to move on to 28 off 21. India will be hoping to see the back of the England star ASAP.

The hosts require less than eight an over now.

England's Charlie Bowling will not have the chance to better his bronze medal from the Gold Coast four years ago, he was comfortably beaten 12-1 by India's Naveen Naveen and will go in a bronze medal match, but his opponent is yet to be determined.

There are actually two bronze medal matches in the wrestling, where athletes who lost in an earlier round to one who made the final get a chance at a bronze medal.

It's all very complicated, we know.

Here we go, it's what the crowd has been waiting for after another noisy session.

A stacked men's 1500m final which includes loads of home nations athletes, including Scotland's world champion Jake Wightman.

The 12 men make their way out on to the track to a rapturous reception.

What drama awaits?

A huge throw from England's Joseph Ellis, he's up into second with a throw of 72.09m - but Canada's Ethan Katzberg responds to reclaim silver position, throwing 73.67m.

Compatriot Nick Miller leads the way after managing 76.43m with his fourth throw. The title defence is on!

It's another great over from England with 14 runs coming from it.

Danni Wyatt is ticking along nicely on 20 runs from 14 balls with new batter Alice Capsey yet to face at the non-strikers end.

India were 40-0 at this stage. This is so close.

Can Jake Wightman complete the 1500m hat-trick?

The Scottish athlete had originally planned to compete over 800m in Birmingham, until he read an article in which Lord Coe urged him to make history by winning 1500m gold at all three major championships this summer, with the Europeans still to come.

In today's final he's be joined by Scottish team-mates Neil Gourley and Olympic bronze medallist Josh Kerr, who will also carry podium ambitions.

Welshman Jake Heyward English duo Matt Stonier and Elliot Giles are also involved, as is Kenya's Olympic silver medallist Timothy Cheruiyot.

It's going to be huge.

Ashleigh Nelson: "We came out and it's the heats. We've got a lot more to come. We're not worried."
