1730: A late update from Birmingham - Great Britain are awarded the gold medal for the men's 4x400m relay after Germany are disqualified because of Bastian Swillims's push on the Russian athlete in the final straight.

Russia are promoted up to second, with Poland grabbing third place and a bronze medal.

1700: The crowd go wild as the medal ceremony for the 60m final takes place. Jason Gardener kisses the gold medal and salutes the fans before "God Save The Queen" is played and the veteran sprinter battles to blink back the tears.

1647: A dramatic end to the men's 4x400m relay sees Great Britain finish off the day and the Championships on a high with a silver medal, their 10th altogether.

Germany's Bastian Swillims seems to barge Russia's Artem Sergeyenkov out of the way and the Russian almost goes head over heels giving Britain's Steven Green the opportunity to move up from third to second place.

Robert Tobin starts the relay well, handing over in first place but Dale Garland lost some ground. Philip Taylor did well to keep Britain in contention, as did Green who was able to strike late on.

Germany take the gold, as long as there is no official complaint from Russia who take bronze.

1643: Italy's Andrew Howe is confirmed as the champion in the long jump with a great leap of 8.30m.

Greece's Louis Tsatoumas wins silver with an 8.02m jump and France's Salim Sdiri takes bronze.

1638: Another medal for great Britain as the women's 4x400m relay team take bronze.

First leg runner Emma Duck handed over to Nicola Sanders in fourth place, but the 400m champion powers into the lead on the second leg.

Kim Wall loses some ground and hands over to Lee McConnell in third place, and the Scot does well to hold on for third place. They also set a new British record of three minutes 28.69 seconds in the process with Belarus winning gold and Russia silver.

1628: It's confirmed by the computers - Craig Pickering does get a silver medal with a time of 6.59 seconds, one-hundredth of a second quicker than Ronald Pognon. That's eight medals in total for Great Britain, two more than the six targeted by UK Athletics performance director Dave Collins.

And there are still two events to go - the men's and women's 4x400m relay.

1626: Hats off to Jason Gardener. He gets away superbly and wins by a street - in 60m terms anyway.

Gardener, who clocks a time of 6.51 seconds, makes history with his fourth consecutive European Indoors title, while Britain's Craig Pickering looks to have just pipped France's Ronald Pognon to take the silver.

1624: Ryan Scott's inexperience costs him as he is disqualified after a second false start. We're down to two British athletes in the final.

1623: Italy's Fabio Cerutti false starts in the men's 60m to add to the tension in the NIA.

1619: "I've just spoken to Katerina Thanou after her sixth-place finish in the women's 60m.

"She says she is just happy to be back running - and that she did not hear the boos from the crowd when her name was announced both today and yesterday.

"She now plans to return to training for the outdoor season."
BBC Sport's Sarah Holt in Birmingham

1618: It's all building up for the big one - the men's 60m final with Craig Pickering, defending champion Jason Gardener and Ryan Scott all representing Britain.

1615: But it's all so different for Britain's Chris Tomlinson as he has to settle for fifth place with a best jump of 7.89m.

1613: Italy's Andrew Howe lives up to all kinds of national stereotypes as he goes absolutely ballistic after taking the lead.

He has every right though, after his 8.30m leap takes him well clear. Howe runs around like a man possessed, beating his chest, dancing and shouting loudly.

1607: Britain's Jeanette Kwakye is desperately unlucky not to gain a medal in the women's 60m as she finishes fourth despite getting the same time (7/20 seconds) as the third-placed athlete Poland's Daria Onysko.

Belgium's Kim Gevaert justifies her status as pre-race favourite with a comfortable win in 7.12 seconds, ahead of Yevgeniya Polyakova in silver medal position.

Controversial Greek sprinter Katerina Thanou does not get among the medals, trailing home in sixth place.

1604: "Jo Pavey explains she ran so poorly because she was suffering from flu this week - and the Devon runner was not shy in explaining just how bad it was.

"'I was half paralysed, coughing my guts up with a chest infection,' Pavey told BBC Sport.

"'I took a gamble running - and it's a bit embarrassing really.'"

1601: Britain's Chris Tomlinson, currently in fifth place in the long jump, holds his shin worryingly after his fourth attempt. He does not look happy at all.

1559: Russia's Svetlana Feofanova wins gold in the women's pole vault after her clearance at 4.76m.

Yuliya Golubchikova is second with a PB of 4.71m and Anna Rogowska is third.

1553: It doesn't work out for Britain's James Thie though as he is finishes last in the 1500m final. It's a Spanish 1-2-3 for the medals though.

Juan Carlos Higuero leads his compatriots Sergio Gallardo and Arturo Casado home in three minutes 44.41 seconds.

1550: Britain's James Thie sets off with the rest of the runners in the men's 1500m final. He is happy to lurk at the back of the pack early on.

1533: Poland's Lidia Chojecka becomes the first athlete to do the 1500m and 3,000m double as she powers away in the final two laps of the 3,00m race.

A brave effort from Britain's Jo Pavey comes to nothing as she finishes sixth after leading the way for much of the race, despite being less than fully fit after a recent bout of flu.

Lisa Dobriskey, a 1500m specialist, is fifth with a PB time of eight minutes 47.25 seconds.

1525: Britain's Jo Pavey, wearing a fetching pair of long black socks, sets the early pace as the women's 3,000m gets under way. Commonwealth champion Lisa Dobriskey is also in action.

1519: The lucky pants do their stuff for Sweden's Stefan Holm as he wins gold in the high jump with a clearance at 2.34m.

He edges out compatriot Linus Thornblad into silver medal position.

1514: The Netherlands' Arnoud Okken wins the expected gold in the men's 800m, leading the race from the gun to the finishing line.

1502: Martyn Bernard claims Britain's sixth medal of the Championships as he wins bronze in the high jump.

He fails with all three of his attempts at 2.32m, which would have been a new PB, although he is agonisingly close with his final effort.

But the 23-year-old can be proud of his performance in Birmingham which gives him something to build on.

Sweden's Stefan Holm and Linus Thornblad will go head-to-head for the gold medal.

1457: Disappointment for Britain's Marilyn Okoro and Jenny Meadows as they finish fourth and fifth in the women's 800m final.

Neither of them can get close enough to the leading three, despite a brave late effort from Okoro.

Oksana Zbrozhek wins the first gold of the Championships for Russia in a time of one minute 59.23 seconds

Ukraine's Tetyana Petlyuk takes silver an Slovakia's Jolanda Ceplak claims bronze.

1452: "Chris Tomlinson is warming up for the long jump final, which starts at 1500 GMT.

"He's not looking particularly happy, bending over and staying motionless for an entire minute after one practice jump. He then trudges over to where his coach Peter Stanley is seated in the stands and receives a stream of animated advice."
BBC Sport's Tom Fordyce in Birmingham

1450: A great effort from Britain's Martyn Bernard as he clears 2.29m at his third attempt. He is one of four athletes left in the competition, and could become Britain's sixth medallist of the event.

1441: The gap between Aleksandr Pogorelov and Roman Sebrle in the end is 9.8 seconds, so the Czech Olympic champion wins his third European Indoor heptathlon title.

Sebrle was hit by a javelin in training in January, making his latest triumph all the more remarkable - it's a world leading score of 6,196 points for good measure.

Pogorelov takes the silver, and Bulgaria's Anderi Krauchanka the bronze.

1439: The final event of the men's heptathlon - the 1000m - is under way. Russia's Aleksandr Pogorelov needs to finish no more than 2.5 seconds behind Roman Sebrle.

But Pogorelov is not a natural at middle distance running by any means and trails by some distance at the halfway stage.

1435: "It's bucketing it down outside, but inside the NIA a capacity crowd is getting behind the British hopes - starting with Martyn Bernard in the high jump.

"Britain has never won more than nine medals at a European Indoors, but this year's squad has five already..."
BBC Sport's Tom Fordyce in Birmingham

1426: Martyn Barnard leads the way in the high jump. He clears 2.25m at his first attempt and looks to be loving every minute of the competition.

1422: "Carlota Castrejana wins Spain's first ever women's indoor triple jump title with a world-leading leap of 14.64m.

"She must have believed she could do it because she was wearing knee-length socks with "Carlota" written up the sides in red stitching."
BBC Sport's Sarah Holt in Birmingham

1420: The latest update on Britain's Karen Harewood who underwent surgery on Saturday after breaking her leg in a horrible fall in her 800m heat:

"She is as comfortable as can be expected and is making excellent post-operative progress," read a statement from Birmingham General Hospital.

1405: An encouraging start for Britain's Martyn Bernard in the high jump, he clears 2.20m with ease in his first attempt after skipping the 2.15m that most of his rivals started with.

1350: "The men's high jump final which starts at 1400 is shaping up to be one of the best competitions of the weekend.

"Russia's world indoor silver medallist Andrey Tereshin is in the field, as are Sweden's Stefan Holm and Linus Thornbald who have gone over at 2.38m.

"It could be Holm's day though - he's told the BBC that he is wearing his lucky black pants, which he saves for finals."
BBC Sport's Sarah Holt in Birmingham

1340: The women's shot put final is over and Italy's Assunta Legnante grabs the gold with her 18.92m throw.

Russia's Irina Khudoroshkina wins silver with 18.50m and her compatriot Olga Ryabinkina takes bronze.

1330: Earlier, Russia's Aleksandr Pogorelov took a 32-point lead over holder Roman Sebrle in the heptathlon with one event - the 1000m - to go.

Pogorelov has 5,418 points and the Czech Republic's Sebrle is on 5,386, with Andrei Krauchanka of Belarus third on 5,237.

But Sebrle has a personal best almost 15 seconds quicker than Pogorelov in the 1000m.

1322: Before the Championships began, UK Athletics performance director Dave Collins set British athletes a target of six medals.

With five already in the bag, Britain look set to exceed his expectations with several medal opportunities on the final day including the men's 60m final at 1620 featuring defending champion Jason Gardener and youngster Craig Pickering.

1300: The first of 13 Sunday finals are under way at the National Indoor Arena.

The women's shot put is at the midway stage, with Italy's Assunta Legnante leading the way with 18.92m.

And the triple jump has just begun, with Russia's Oksana Bufalova in the early lead after a PB of 14.24m.
