On a busy morning in the athletics, Alastair Chalmers made a desperate dive for the line to ensure he qualified for the semi-finals of the men’s 400m hurdles, while defending champion Karsten Warholm won his heat.
Jessie Knight also made a late lunge for the line in the women’s 400m hurdles to join GB team-mate Lina Nielsen in Tuesday’s semi-finals.
Lina’s twin sister Laviai qualified for the women’s 400m semi-finals and Amber Anning won her heat, although Victoria Ohuruogu must go through to the repechage round.
However, both Lawrence Okoye and Nick Percy failed to qualify for the men’s discus final.
The men’s 200m heats begin later (18:55 BST), although GB’s Zharnel Hughes has withdrawn because of tightness in his hamstring.
The women’s 200m semi-finals take place from 19:45 and GB’s Keely Hodgkinson will go for gold in the women’s 800m final at 20:47.
