    Colin Jackson said beforehand this semi-final was going to be hard to call - and so it proved. Jamaica's Annsert Whyte takes it in 48.32 seconds, with Javier Culson of Puerto Rico joining him as a guaranteed finalist.

    Turkey's Yasmani Copello - the surprise European champion - and Rasmus Magi of Estonia face an anxious wait.

    Good news for Robbie Grabarz.

    He has been awarded his 2.33m jump on appeal.

    A few minutes ago he thought he'd cleared the height on his first attempt as the judges white flag went up, but the bar fell a split second later.

    Back to the track...do we have a British representative in the men's 400m hurdles final? Afraid not. Jack Green clatters a barrier on the bend, sapping his energy as he goes down the straight. He fades quicker than a dodgy tan, pulling up to cross the line in eighth. Out of eight.

    American Kerron Clement wins, with Kenya's Boniface Mucheru in second. They qualify for the final automatically remember.

    Eilidh Doyle is wearing a big, beaming smile on her face. The reason? She's into the 400m hudles final. Her nervous wait was relatively shortlived as her time of 54.99 is enough for her to go through as the second fastest loser after the third semi-final.

    Dalilah Muhammad of the USA and Sara Slott Peterson finish first and second respectively in the third semi to progress.

    Great Britain's Eilidh Doyle on whether finishing third will be enough to reach the final: "I hope so, I really do. Obviously I would have liked to automatically qualify but I'm happy with how the race went. There were no errors, I gave everything. I just hope it is enough to get into the final.

    "The tight finish shows that it is wide open this year. Although no-one has dominated, a lot of us are all close together. I gave it a good shot, so fingers crossed now."  

    On Ashley Spencer's stumble: "I was aware something happened behind but I just tried to focus on my own race and get to that line as soon as possible."

    Ashley Spencer coming back to win is a massive shock. When someone makes a mistake like that you rarely see them come back because there is so much fatigue in your legs. But she managed it.

    Doyle crosses the line third and has to wait to find out if her time of 54.99 is good enough to get her through to the final.

    Gold Medal - Lasha Talakhadzepublished at 01:15 British Summer Time 17 August 2016

    Men's +105kg weighlifting

    Georgia have won the gold medal, but that only tells half the story...

    Lasha Talakhadze broke the +105kg weightlifting world record to win gold, lifting a combined 473kg. 

    However, when Talakhadze, 22, broke the snatch world record (snatch coming before clean and jerk), London 2012 champion, Iran's Behdad Salimi Kordasiabi, went one better, to set the record at 216kg. 

    However, Salimi Kordasiabi failed to post a clean and jerk, adjudged to have fouled twice and fatigue getting the better of him as he went for a third lift in succession, leaving him angrily remonstrating with officials, but without a score.

    That left Talakhadze to secure gold, then lift 258kg for the overall world record. 

    Armenia's Gor Minasyan took silver and Georgia's Irakli Turmanidze won bronze.

    Drama.
