Zharnel Hughes has a fantastic opportunity here today.

He talks about legacy, and he is at that stage in his career where it is important to put a stamp on your sport and know you're coming away from it in the best possible shape.

We now head to the track for the first time this evening, with the men's 200m semi-finals about to get under way.

13 athletes came through this morning's qualifying, and they're joined by the 11 highest-ranked runners join the competition.

Great Britain's Zharnel Hughes won this title in 2022 and is the continent’s quickest 200m runner this year - he's joined by team-mate Ebuka Nwokeji who came through this morning's races.

Italian Fausto Desalu, 32, ran a 20.11 sec personal best last month, while the new European 100m bronze medallist Owen Ansah ran 20.13 at the recent German championships.

US-based 20-year-old Sean Aigboboh set an Irish record of 20.27 in April, while Timothe Mumenthaler of Switzerland is the defending European champion and is another with high hopes of making Friday's final.

Amy Hunt
British 100m runner speaking to BBC Sport

Yes, I am looking to be iconic. I want to do what nobody has ever done before.

I think this is the perfect place to do it. I am an East Midlands girl, and I am from Newark.

This is the closest I am ever going to get to a home crowd in my entire career.

On Jakob Ingebrigtsen's comments about Josh Kerr...

They are both very honest. They're both very intelligent men. I think it is great that they're so honest and open. If that means having a dig at each other and creating rivalry, then it is great for our sport.

Just a little update for you - the women's triple jump and women's pole vault have been pushed back to 20:15 and 20:20 BST respectively.

That's because of the traffic issues in the Birmingham area, where the M6 motorway has just re-opened following fires nearby.

On Jakob Ingebrigtsen's comments about Josh Kerr...

I love it. These guys don't like each other and I think it is brilliant. We want more people watching this sport. Them going head-to-head is fantastic. I can't wait to hear what Josh has got to say. We love it.

Jakob Ingebrigtsen says he is "very" disappointed Britain's Josh Kerr is not competing at the European Championships, claiming that athletes who choose to miss major competitions are "ruining" the sport.

Last month, Kerr smashed the mile world record, which had stood for 27 years, before winning Commonwealth gold over the distance on home soil in Glasgow.

Speaking to BBC Sport, Ingebrigtsen was complimentary of Kerr's record-breaking performance in London but said he "could never" prioritise a time over a title.

"Of course I am going to go for times, but I don't think you have to do one or the other," Ingebrigtsen said.

Asked if he was disappointed Kerr is not racing in Birmingham, he added: "Very - and I think a lot of people should be, because that is what championships are all about.

"It's not for us as athletes to choose almost where to participate. We have these championships for a reason, and that is for the best athletes to compete - that is the whole point.

"So I definitely think it is ruining the sport if we are not participating. We all have different plans, but I could never see myself in that position."

In the morning session Keely Hodgkinson cruised into tomorrow's women's 800m final.

You can watch how she did it below.

Have you been chasing the shade today?

Well, unlike most of the UK, the athletes today have had no choice at Alexander Stadium.

Earlier, there were highs of 35C in Birmingham, but temperatures have now dropped to around 33C.

It is forecast to drop below 25C, once all the action is finished tonight.

Hydration is going to be hugely key for all these athletes. Getting electrolytes onboard and a lot of water.

Everyone sitting at home will be hiding from the sun. Imagine having to go out there and annihilating your body to the absolute limit.

Yes, they're all professional athletes. Yes, they train for this, but heat like this can really make it difficult.

If you get those things wrong, cramp sets in, dehydration quickly sets in due to the fact it is sapping everything from you.

It can mean performances can go backwards.

Great Britain have three women in the 200m. What a race. The perfect race to end the night. Every night has ended on such a high for Team GB.

I have been here [Alexander Stadium] since I was nine.

These are the moments you cannot really imagine. It was so different. Obviously, I have been to the Olympics and Worlds.

One of the things I am good at is switching off, which is a blessing and a curse. For the first time in my career, I soaked it all up.

Matthew Hudson-Smith
British 400m runner on BBC Two

I tried to sleep. I was just staring at the wall.

Usually I am on the floor trying to catch my breath, but the adrenaline was insane. My coach was like: 'Get out there race and make it hard for them.'

I had the whole world asking if I was injured or hurt. Even the competitors were staring. I was like, shall we put some tape on to wind them up?

The evening session has already got under way in Birmingham with the javelin stage of the men's decathlon.

This is the ninth of the 10 disciplines, with the 1500m coming at 21:10 BST.

Germany's Leo Neugebauer leads the way with 7181 points, leading Norway's Sander Skotheim (6933) and Jeff Tesselaar of the Netherlands (6895).

The German topped the standings in the second event of the morning session, the discus, where he threw 54.31m - the best throw in decathlon this year.

We also had 110m hurdles and pole vault this morning, with the leading trio not troubling the best athletes in those disciplines.

Keely Hodgkinson and Jemma Reekie progressed to Friday's women’s 800m final during the morning session of day four of European Athletics Championships in Birmingham, winning their respective semi-finals.

Hodgkinson delivered the fastest qualifying time (1:57.38) across both races while Reekie (1:58.61) won a dramatic first semi-final which saw world leader Audrey Werro fall before being reinstated.

Amber Anning and Yemi Mary John reached Saturday's women’s 400m final and Morgan Lake delivered a season’s best performance (1.91m) to make the women’s long jump showpiece on the same day, placing 15th overall.

Anning finished with a season’s best time of 49.96 seconds to come second in her heat, while John, who won a silver in the mixed 4x400m relay on Monday, also qualified automatically in 50.33.

Charlotte Henrich just missed out on a place in the final, after running 50.51 seconds to finish third in her heat.

Kristian Imroth (8:36.20) and Will Battershill (8:37.33) both progressed to Sunday's men’s 3,000m steeplechase final, finishing sixth and eighth respectively in the first heat of the day, while Zak Seddon (8:37.54) just missed out on qualification, placing ninth place in the second heat.

Benjamin East missed out on a place in the men’s javelin final despite improving in the final round with a throw of 78.77m - that was 11cm short of qualification as he finished 13th, with 12 moving forward.
