Starting off with the afternoon session, solid block of blethering to begin with.
In the decathlon, van der Plaetsen went on to jump 5.40 to Kasyanov's 6.90, so turned around into a 60 point lead. Ashley Bryant still in 9th. vdP has a javelin PB that is 10 metres better than Kasyanov.
Be it the BBC, be in Eurosport one thing is constant - interviews with Seb Coe will always be sycophantic.
Starting off the hurdles, Jack Green 48.98 for third in the first semi, goes into the lucky loser pool. NR for the Norwegian winner, Warholm!
