Eilidh Child won comfortably in Gateshead

Eilidh Child broke her own Scottish record for the second week running in finishing second in the 400m hurdles at the Diamond League event in Birmingham.

Perri Shakes-Drayton was the winner and Child's 54.22 was 0.2 seconds quicker than her win at the European Team Championships in Gateshead last week.

"I am over the moon with that," Child, 26, said of her new personal best.

"It's great to run a PB. I am delighted with that. We are getting faster and faster."

And she added: "That was probably a bit more messy than Gateshead."
