Off they go...
Ooh, no. We have a false start. Lane eight - Ani Yohda Pedige - jumped the gun.
Looks like a red card for the Sri Lankan.

He's 41 in two days time and what he knows it winds up his big Australian rival Scott Reardon - losing to the old guy.

Men's 100m T42 final (20:00 BST)
Just two days before his 41st birthday, Britain's Richard Whitehead is going for his second gold of the Championships in the men's 100m T42 final.
He is now a four-time world champion, as well as a two-time Paralympic champion but he has yet to come away with a medal in this event at either competition.
Whitehead is looking to add to the T42 200m title he picked up on Saturday.
After that race, he was asked about his future in the sport and his response was: "Ask me about retirement after the 100m."

Hannah Cockroft sets a new championship record to come home in 2:01.77 ahead of Alexa Halko in second (2:03.49) and Britain's Kare Adenegan in third (2:05.76).
That's Adenegan's second medal, after she picked up silver in the 100m.
"It was a really good race," the 16-year-old told BBC Radio 5live. "I did my start and realised I was in front so I though I'd just go for it. I'm so happy with the time. Congratulations to Hannah. It's annoying as I was close to the silver but maybe next time."

On the start line, that's the first time I've seen her look nervous. Usually she's smiling for the cameras but she looked reserved and she was probably thinking about tactics.
There's still no one to challenge her over this distance. Hannah can win the race whatever way she wants.

How classification workspublished at 19:48 British Summer Time 17 July 2017
Each athletics event is given a code, made up of one letter and two numbers. 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.

The undefeated Britpublished at 19:45 British Summer Time 17 July 2017
Women's 800m T34 final (19:50 BST)
We're running out of superlatives for Hannah Cockroft.
The 24-year-old Yorkshirewoman clocked up her 13th global title on Friday and did it in style - with a world record in the T34 100m.
She goes again shortly in the 800m final and is looking to remain undefeated in major competitions.
But she said before tonight's race: "The less we say about the 800m the better. It will be a tough race, not easy, I'm not guaranteed to win that."
The Paralympic champion will go up against fellow Brits Carly Tait and Kare Adenegan in the next few minutes.

Breen takes gold for GBpublished at 19:43 British Summer Time 17 July 2017
Earlier on, Olivia Breen won Britain's ninth gold of the Championships in the T38 long jump.
The 20-year-old, who has cerebral palsy, recorded a personal best of 4.81m to claim a first individual major title.
Wales' Breen only finished 12th in the long jump at the Paralympics Games last year.
"I've moved to Loughborough to train. I knew I had to change something and it's been the best change ever. This is a dream come true," Breen told BBC Radio 5 live.
"I'm so happy. I knew I had to be on my form and it's so exciting."

Guohua Zhou of China has just taken gold in the women's 200m T11 final, ahead of compatriot Cuiquing Liu.
