Probably not ideal preparation for Greg to have Gabby'n'Colin yakking away right beside you while you are trying to focus.

Semenya isn't in Birmingham, so Niyonsaba will be the favourite for today's women's 800m.

Big 0.8s PB for Renelle Lamote; Melissa Bishop 1.5s quicker than she was in Rome.

Now this should be very interesting....
What will Kendra Harrison do? How will Pearson perform? |

Some big times today.
The Womens 800m is serious business now. Run a 1.59, finish nowhere! Right, now for the hurdles. Not sure I can watch. Will Sally make it all the way? |

Women's 100mH up next - headed by Harrison, though a WR might be a stretch in Birmingham.
Pearson's back on the circuit, it seems. |

This race features the three fastest hurdlers of the last 15 years. Stacked field.

No WR but another dominant run by Harrison.
Pearson didn't look good but she's been away for a while so it's expected. |

No fewer than 4 Brits in the women's 5,000m, including Jessica Andrews. Cherono is the form athlete in the field.

No problems picking Jess Coulson out of the field today.

Has Arzramasova (spelling?) won any races since Beijing?
In terms of the hurdles for the USA, Queen Harrison beat Sharika Nelvis last night in the USA so it's safe to say Nelvis isn't a front runner this year as she was last year. Castlin hasn't looked bad this year - she's 4th fastest. But then Harper-Nelson was back under 13 today. Has she even missed a championship since 2007? Or is it 2005? Things to consider... I can't wait for US trials. Can you tell? |

One year too long for Jo Pavey, I think.

Cheruiyot pips Cherono in 15:12.79.
15:46.82 PB for Andrews in ninth place, just ahead of Pavey (15:47.64). |

Greg only 5th in the men's long jump with 8.17m, just pipped to the cut-off by (I think) Tyrone Smith.
World leader Goodwin leads with 8.42m. |

Men's 400m headed by James. 3 Brits and Motswana junior Baboloki Thebe in the field.
James clocks a 44.23 MR for the win. Hudson-Smith 4th with an encouraging 45.13 SB; Yousif 7th in 45.59 (SB), Dunn 8th in 46.30. |
