FFS Eurosport are sticking with the Tennis. Watching the DL on Eurosport Player.

So if I don't have access to the paid service on player I can't watch the DL tonight? When it's been in Eurosport's schedule until the last second?

It's as if they have shown every round of the FA Cup but have cancelled the Final to show live snooker instead.

This is not good. Was looking forward to Zurich.

Did they say anything?

Will have to catch the highlights on the BBC instead.

I mean did it suddenly surprise them that there was tennis on tonight? Someone walked into the office at 5 to 7 and said 'shit guys I've just seen that there's this tennis thing going on in New York tonight, we better cover that'.

No, nothing on-screen I could see. Hopefully this tennis will not last too long.

BeIn Sports with Tim & Crammy. Decent quality stream. Ignore any 'this site is dangerous' warning you get - http://www.fixalen.tv/20160901/vv-14....86216109.html

Thank you.

The tennis goes on all evening and into the small hours. British players are coming up soon too.

I love the tennis, but was looking forward to Zurich for a couple of hours.

Edit, now it's raining in New York, so they could have gone to Zurich.

OK, onto the athletics now. You have missed the non-DL women's 400m, Shamir Little won, Eilidh 3rd, and highlights of the women's LJ.

Anyone know how long the rain is likely to last in New York, are we talking passing shower or downpour settling in for the evening?

OK, classic pace-maker bid for glory on the cards in the 5000m.

Looked like they were settling in for a bit of a wait.

If it does go back to the tennis (which I doubt it will) for anyone with a VPN, SRF Zwei http://www.srf.ch/livestream/player/srf-2 or the Play SRF app.

See, that's what I like about Kenyan athletes, they always respect people who give it a lash, not just trotting round in a second group at the back hoping to finest 6th place the way most of our people do.

Yeah, just flicked over to the Murray match and they showed the storm going on outside.

Looks good, hopefully it lasts till 9

Meanwhile, fantastic field for the 200mW.

Another good 200m, Dina AS gets third overall for the DL, that'll pay for a few textbooks.

Big Daf losing form again in the last few meters of the 200m. It's almost as if she prefers to chase down the leader, rather than lead it out.

Maybe she should get some heptathlon training back in.

Now it's time to get hype. Laura Muir time.

Aww, too bad, think Laura has lost the overall there.

No, she gets it!!!! Kipyegon collapsed on the home straight!.

$40,000 will buy a 6-bedroom mansion in Doncaster.

Good for Laura.

Rowbury had to assault Laura and dive over the line to beat her. I jest of course.

Still a good time and she wins overall.
