    Men's 100m T44 (heats at 19:10 / 19:20 BST, final at 20:57)

    Double Paralympic 100m champion Jonnie Peacock says Rio 2016 was "just a job" and that winning at the World Para-athletics Championships in London would mean more to him.

    When Peacock was five, he contracted meningitis which led to him having his right leg amputated just below the knee.

    Watch his interview with BBC Sport as he talks about his World Para-athletics hopes below.

    Peacock goes in the first heat shortly and his is the next race on track.

  3. What the event classifications meanpublished at 19:06 British Summer Time 16 July 2017

    Each athletics event is given a code, made up of one letter and two numbers, which is called a classification. It tells you more about the type of disability the athletes in that event have.

    • The first letter will either be T or F: T is for track (running and jumping events) and F is for field (throwing events).
    • The first number, from 1 to 5, tells you the impairment type: 1. Visual impairment 2. Intellectual impairment 3. Co-ordination impairment 4. Limb deficiencies and short stature 5. Impaired muscle power or range of movement.
    • The second number ranges from 1 to 8 and designates the level of impairment, with 1 being the most impaired.

  10. Greaves misses out on discus medalpublished at 18:57 British Summer Time 16 July 2017

    Men's discus F44

    There was success for Great Britain in the men's discus F42 with Aled Davies winning gold, but there was heartbreak for 2004 Paralympic gold medallist and 2011 world champion Dan Greaves, who narrowly missed out on another medal as he came fourth.

    His best effort was a throw of 57.01 metres in the F44 event, with Americans Jeremy Campbell and David Blair taking gold and silver respectively with Croatia's Ivan Katanusic getting the bronze.

    Campbell winning mark was 63.66m, a new championship record.

    It has already been a golden day for Great Britain as Aled Davies won his third world title in the F42 discus and Britain's seventh gold medal of the World Para-athletics Championships.

    Wales' Davies, the London 2012 champion and world record holder, threw 51.54m to beat Tom Habscheid of Luxembourg. The 26-year-old can add gold in the shot put next Saturday - he is the defending Paralympic and world champion.

    Davies, who was born with talipese and hemi-hemilia, meaning his right leg is missing bones, muscle and ligaments, had been focusing on the shot put in training.

    "I'm overwhelmed. This is not the event I've been practising," he told BBC Radio 5 live. "I'm built for shot put and you'll see that Saturday. I've got something special. This is such a special place with so many memories. I wanted to give the crowd a gold medal."
