More drama to come on Day 4
Sprint Triple Threat: Featuring newly crowned European 100m champion Amy Hunt, the women’s 200m final brings the curtain down on day four of action at the Alexander Stadium, with a trio of British women – Amy, Dina Asher-Smith and Success Eduan – all in the mix for medals in front of a home crowd.
Decathlon Decider: Estonia’s Johannes Erm leads the overnight standings following a busy first day of action under the sun in Birmingham.

Field to the Fore: The morning session sees qualifying action in the women’s high jump and men’s javelin, before the evening session offers up tantalising finals in the women’s triple jump and pole vault, plus the men’s discus. Everywhere you look, either an athlete or an object will be in the air!
