Day 2, Part 1
Jonathan Edwards with live coverage of the athletics World Championships from Beijing. Jessica Ennis-Hill completes the fifth and sixth events of the heptathlon.
Jonathan Edwards presents live coverage of the athletics World Championships from Beijing, China.
Athletics returns to the Chinese capital seven years after it hosted the Olympics and Jessica Ennis-Hill takes top billing on day 2.
The morning session sees Ennis-Hill - who took time out to have a baby since her Olympic heptathlon triumph at London 2012 - complete the fifth and sixth events of the gruelling seven-event challenge.
She and young pretender to her crown Katarina Johnson-Thompson are both tipped to challenge for the podium, and the second morning's long jump and javelin will be crucial in deciding if they make it.
