25 August - 2 September
Britain's Jessica Ennis got her heptathlon campaign off to a brilliant start, moving into second after two events at the World Championships. Ennis, 21, won the 100m hurdles in a personal best of 12.97 seconds before clearing 1.89m in the high jump to sit behind Olympic champion Carolina Kluft. Marlon Devonish was fastest through to the 100m quarter-finals in 10.13. The evening session in Osaka starts at 1110 BST with the next round of the 100m at 1215.

1045: Late risers amongst you will have missed out on an interesting opening ceremony in Osaka with acrobats doing tumbling tricks. Jessica Ennis was in action in the heptathlon, winning the hurdles and clearing 1.89m in the high jump to lie second so far. It's still very early days, but what are the chances of her hanging onto a podium spot with six events to go? Tyson Gay and Asafa Powell eased into the 100m quarter-finals - well, Powell looked a little too relaxed in his heat. Marlon Devonish was the fastest man through in 10.13 while Mark Lewis-Francis and Craig Pickering also reached the next round, which takes place at 1215.
