    GB watch on the track

    Six GB athletes in action on the track tonight, with just one guaranteed to be in a final. Could we see more medals?

    In the women's 110m hurdles (semi-finals 00:45 BST - 01:01 BST) sisters Tiffany Porter and Cindy Ofili are both in action and both will hope to make the final.

    Porter has a world championship medal to her name. So there's hope.

    The men's 200m semis see Dan Talbot (02:00 BST), Adam Gemili (02:08 BST) and Nat Mitchell-Blake (02:16 BST) all aim for a place in the final.

    If they want to get through they will need to break the 20-second barrier - something only Mitchell-Blake has managed this season.

    And in the women's 200m final (02:30 BST) Dina Asher-Smith will hope to make the most of her fortuitous path to the last eight. She will need to better her PB of 22:07 to feature at the thick end.
