Stormsy stuck on the A303, via text: "I only see four medals tonight.... Turner, Meadows, Bingham and Baddley. The rest are reaches."

TimPotter on Twitter: " I think 7 - Turner, Meadows, Simpson, Rooney, Baddeley and Lancashire. Optimistic?"

1750: Andy Turner up next....Turner strides out and he's looking comfie. Hold on. He's banging his head and looks a little flustered at the finish. He whacked the eighth hurdle and almost fell - he came through a little wobbly but wobble or no wobble - he stayed on his feet. Just. Good recovery though. "It's all about qualifying" says Colin Jackson. Boy oh boy. If he had gone down that would have been a devastating opening for GB. He's through though. Relief and his puffed out cheeks say it all. Petr Svoboda easily through and looked good. Turner fourth fastest in 13.50s.

1745: A gutted Will Sharman apologises but he aint a happy boy. "It was like a nightmare, I think this new rule is horrible, I didn't try and predict the gun. Ultimately it's a lack of discipline. I felt like it was a very long hold. I was looking forward to running in the final, I felt as though the athlete to the left of me reacted and I went off him. It's immensely frustrating. I was in the shape of my life. I'd like to apologise to everyone who's been supporting me. I was prioritising these championships over the Commonwealth Games. I wonder what will happen in the Diamond League if Usain Bolt false starts."

1741: Sharman false-starts. He looks a little perplexed to say the least....he's trying to argue his case but he's shepherded away from the track. A minute ago he looked cool and set for his second consecutive major final. No more though. Hungarian Daniel Kiss and Darien ease through. "Very disappointing for Will" says Colin Jackson. Andy Turner up next. Pressure on.

1737: Gun goes off and Sharman has been disqualified.

1736: GB's Will Sharman - he's a classical pianist don't you know. He's up in the first semi. The boys are being introduced to the Barcelona crowd. The Sharman-ator raises his eyebrows.....here we go.

1732: With the women's pole vault final just starting, a quick look at Jess Ennis this morning. Two events at the start of the heptathlon. Ennis clocked the fastest time in the first event - the 100m hurdles with a 12.95s. A 45-minute rest before she cleared 1.89m in the high jump. Poimts total = 2,225, 134 ahead of Olympic champion Nataliya Dobrynska (2091) and 140 clear of Germany's Jennifer Oeser (2085). Ennis said: "I'm quite pleased. I would have liked to have squeezed a bit more out of both events but I'm not going to complain too much, I'm leading and happy with the start." Two more events tonight - shot put from 1745 and 200m at 1955. Dobrynska could pile the pressure on with the shot put.

Isabre on 606: "This is definitely going to be a huge night for the British team with so many medals at stake, as well as a pivotal virtual semi phase in the women's 1500m. I feel that Andy Baddeley has got a great chance to become the first Brit to win the European title over the men's 1500m since Steve Cram back in 1986. Jenny Meadows looked over her injury worries and back in full swing so she is going to fancy her own chances"

1727: As the British national anthem rings around the Olympic stadium in Barcelona with Idowu looking emotional (no tears this time though - he used them all up last night), check out Tom Fordyce's blog on his conquering of Teddy Tamgho . Plus here's a behind-the-scenes in the world of Phillips.

1722: I shall hereby produce my usual plea for your input. Because without you, NONE of us would be here. So don't let me down. I want your thoughts, predictions (I think six British medals tonight) and keep your lookalikes coming in. Tweet me @bbcsport_mark, text me on 81111 (UK) or +44 7786200666 (worldwide) with ATHLETICS before your message, or join the banter on 606.

1717: I can't mess around. The action is coming thick and fast. Necklaces of all colours (only three actually) are up for grabs. Coverage details. Watch live on BBC HD/ BBC Two and the BBC Sport website (UK users only) from about now. There's live coverage on BBC Radio 5 live from around 1800 BST and watch out for highlights of the big events on demand online (UK only). Read about full coverage details.

1714: A quick breakdown of when the Brits are in action to help you plan your evening - because you're not going to leave me right?

1710: Just to get you in the mood. Idowu has revealed two soft toys belonging to his five-month-old son Prince were the inspiration behind his success. "I had my little son's teddy bear strapped to my bag last night. I had his little lion strapped to my bag as well. It makes a noise, it growls like a lion growls, so any time I move my bag you hear it, just 'grrrrr'." Everybody go ARHHHHHH. Sweet. He's the new modern modern man you know. Soft toys is the new tattoo.

1706: A day after Phillips Idowu leapt almost 18 metres in the sandpit to become European triple jump champion, it's time for the GB vests to waggle and swagger on the track. For all those that missed it or fancy another look at Idowu take gold then check out the video.

1701: Tonight could be a whole bag of Ms folks. Medals. Mayhem. Madness. Marlon (Devonish). Malcolm (Christian). Martyn (Rooney). Michael (Bingham). Meadows (Jenny). Have I missed any?
