Men's 200m

Britons Marlon Devonish and Christian Malcolm are both safely through to the quarter-finals which will now take place on Wednesday.

Welshman Malcolm left himself some work to do off the bend but he comes through to win the third heat in 20.36 seconds.

"I felt a bit nervous but I'm glad I got the first one out the way," Malcolm told BBC Sport. "Now I'm taking it round by round."

Devonish looks tense as he sneaks through in third in 20.75.

American Tyson Gay stamps his authority on proceedings in heat six as he storms through in 19.99 seconds.

Pre-race favourite Wallace Spearmon coasts into the quarter-finals in 20.51.

Also into the next round are defending champion John Capel (20.40), Jamaican hope Usain Bolt (20.80), Stephane Buckland of Mauritius (20.94) and Ronald Pognon (20.37).

Men's decathlon

American Bryan Clay holds a 15-point lead over Olympic champion Roman Sebrle after five events in the decathlon.

Clay, who took Olympic silver behind Sebrle, runs a personal best of 47.48 seconds over 400m to push the Czech back into second.

Sebrle collapsed to the track exhausted after setting a season's best of 48.62 but it was not enough.

Earlier, the Czech moved in front of Clay for the first time after the high jump when he cleared a season's best height of 2.06m while Clay did not get beyond 2.00m.

Russian Aleksandr Pogorelov moved into third spot overall after going over at 2.09m.

Clay landed a personal best of 16.25m in the shot put while Sebrle throws a season's best of 16.29m.

Clay also reached a season's best 7.54m in the long jump an event which saw Sebrle move up to second from 11th with a jump of 7.86m.

The American took an early lead in Helsinki by clocking 10.43 in the opening 100m.

Men's 400m heats

British number one Tim Benjamin and debutant Robert Tobin reach Wednesday's 400m semi-finals but Malachi Davis is out.

Benjamin wins the first heat in an impressive 44.85 seconds - which is a good time given the gusty conditions.

"I was really pleased as it was quite windy," the Welshman told BBC Sport.

"I kicked with 150m to go and I felt like I had loads left. My aim is to make the final and it still is."

Tobin delivers a strong finish to qualify in 45.41 behind Olympic champion Jeremy Wariner.

"It felt comfortable but the first 100m was really too slow," the 21-year-old told BBC Sport.

"I wasn't actually that nervous so I knew I was going to be all right."

Davis could only finish third in the final heat with a time of 46.14 and is unlikely to go through as a fastest qualifier.

American contender Andrew Rock (44.98), German Simon Kirch (45.80), Michael Blackwood (45.58), Wilan Louis (45.91) and Darold Williamson (45.97) are also through.

Men's triple jump qualifying

In the triple jump, Nathan Douglas has a real chance of a medal after landing the fourth furthest mark of the year - 17.64m - in Manchester.

Edwards tips Douglas

The 22-year-old, who has been tipped for success in Helsinki by world record holder Jonathan Edwards, insisted before flying out to Finland that the pressure would not get to him.

Now he must wait until Wednesday to find out.

Women's 800m final

Zulia Calatayud springs a suprise coming off the final bend to claim gold in devastating fashion.

The Cuban powers away from the field down the home straight to win in one minute 58.82 seconds.

Morocco's Hasna Benhassi also produces a sprint finish to take silver from Russia's Tatyana Andrianova, who held the fastest time in the world this year.

Three-time winner Maria Mutola led the race from the first 200m but allowed Andrianova to pass her on the inside, getting bumped in the process.

And the 32-year-old from Mozambique finished back in fourth in what could now be her last appearance at the Worlds.

Men's 400m hurdles final

There is drama immediately in the wet conditions when defending champion Felix Sanchez pulls up after 50m.

American Bershawn Jackson runs a controlled race and has superior pace off the final hurdle to take the title in a personal best of 47.30 seconds.

James Carter went neck and neck with Jackson but he had to settle for silver in a lifetime best of 47.43.

Japan's Dai Tamesue prevents the predicted American one-two-three as he pips Kerron Clement at the line.

American James Carter was fastest through the rounds in 47.78 but will

Men's 3,000m steeplechase final

Saif Saaeed Shaheen makes his move just before the bell and pulls away from the field.

The Qatar athlete kicks for home off the last bend to claim a predicted gold in a relatively slow eight minutes 13.31 seconds.

Olympic champion Ezekiel Kemboi tried to go with Shaheen but he cannot chase him and settles for silver.

Former world record holder Brahim Boulami bravely battles down the line but is just edged out for the bronze by Kenyan Brimin Kipruto.

Spain's Jose Luis Blanco led over the first 1,000m but he finishes well back into the pack.

Women's discus final

The women's discus final is moved to Thursday because of heavy rain.

World leader Vera Cechlova will be favourite as she threw the longest distance in qualifying - 64.26m - but will be challenged by China's Aimin Song and Russian Olympic champion Natalya Sadova.

Men's pole vault qualifying

American Nick Hysong leads the men's pole vault with 5.60m followed by Russian Igor Pavlov - the qualifying mark is set at 5.75m.

But the event is delayed after Finn Mononen Matti brings the pole vault measuring device crashing down with a bad attempt.

There is confusion as officials cluster round the pole vault area trying to decide what to do.

In the end, the qualifying mark is reduced to 5.60m after the intervention of pole vault legend Sergei Bubka but the competition is held up by almost an hour.

American Olympic silver medalist Toby Stevenson pulls out of the event with a sore hamstring.

Australian Paul Burgess, who is the only athlete to clear 6.00m this season, is not at the Worlds because of a calf injury.

Women's long jump qualifying

Kelly Sotherton qualifies for Wednesday's long jump final, landing 6.55m at her first attempt.

"It's my first final in a major championship in the long jump so I'm pleased," said Sotherton.

Fellow heptathlete Eunice Barber is also through after reaching 6.60m.

American Tianna Madison is the leading qualifier as she lands a personal best of 6.83m followed by Spain's Concepcion Montaner on 6.65m.

World leader and Olympic silver medallist Irina Simigina failed to start because of a foot injury.

Men's javelin qualifying

Defending champion Sergey Makarov comfortably leads the first group of qualifiers in the men's javelin, landing 85.08m at his first attempt.

Local favourite Tero Pitakmaki throws 82.21m to top the second pool of qualifiers.

Olympic gold medallist Andreas Thorkildsen is also in good form as he reaches 81.45m.

But Britain's Nick Nieland finishes back in eighth in the first pool with a best throw of 76.71m and is almost certain to miss Wednesday's final.

"I thought it was my best chance to make a major championship final but I couldn't get it together out there," said Nieland.

Women's 100m hurdles heats

America's Michelle Perry wins the first women's 100m hurdles heat in a time of 12.64.

Britain's Sarah Claxton is ran out of it in fifth place in a fast second heat won by Jamaica's Delloreen Ennis-London.

"We had to wait around for quite a while because of the rain and I think that put me off my race," Claxton told BBC Sport.

Defending champion Perdita Felicien (12.77), Jamaican Brigitte Foster-Hylton (12.64) and Olympic champion (12.79) also advance.
