We'll see you tomorrow.

Amazing from Portugal's Isaac Nader!

He has come from behind to finally overhaul a brave, frontrunning Jake Wightman, who finished second by just 0.02 seconds.

Reynold Cheruiyot beat Timothy Cheruiyot into bronze, despite controlling the majority of the race.

Incredible race.

Absolutely incredible running.

Josh Kerr is out of contention!

But he is continuing.

No Ingebrigtsen. No Hocker. No clear favourite?

With the Olympic champion disqualified in the semifinals and the event's biggest name eliminated in the heats, you could say that this men's 1,500m races, one of the key events in the entire program, is wide open.

Just don't tell defending champion Josh Kerr that.

The Olympic silver medallist is the only member of the top five from Paris who managed to make it through to tonight's final.

"I have my work cut out for me, but I feel pretty confident," Kerr told the BBC.

"We're getting places. I would say it's among the most confident I've gone into a world final.

"But each championships bring their own kind of challenges and fun, and I'll keep doing what I can to show up and medal and go after the gold.

"It's my title, it will be a real battle for whoever wants to come and take it off of me."

There is a suggestion  that Kerr may well lead home an all Scottish podium, with 2022 champion Jake Wightman and world indoor silver medallist Neil Gourley joining Kerr as genuine medal hopes.

Would be quite something if the Scots were to sweep the medals...

Anyway, this will run at 11:20pm AEDT and you'd better bet that I'll be keeping the blog open for it.

Italian Mattia Furlani is the youngest ever world champion in the long jump!

He's just 20 years old and managed to leap to a personal best 8.39m.

It was a tremendous competition.

Yajay Gayle set an early mark at 8.33, which was then equalled by China's Yuhao Shi. 

Simon Ehammer, the Swiss decathlete, then leaped 8.30 to put himself on the podium, only for Gayle to take the lead by a single centimetre.

But it was then time for the Italian, who leaped out to 8.39 to win gold.

Astonishing competition.

Gayle silver, Shi bronze.

Absolute chaos.

Faith Cherotich claimed gold for Kenya in a championship record time of 8:51.59.

Aged just 21, she's the youngest ever world champion in this event.

But behind her, it was manic.

Peruth Chemutai hit a barrier after the 2,000 metre mark and had to withdraw.

Then there were a couple of other fallers late on in the water jump as the field was strung out behind the new champ.

Winfred Yavi claimed silver for Bahrain, Sembo Almayew of Ethiopia ran a personal best to win bronze.

Sandi Morris failed at 4.95 and so Katie Moon is the champion - this time on her own!

Tremendous news from the infield, where Cameron McEntyre has thrown a personal best to soar into the final as the 11th best qualifier.

The defending champion is back on top!

Katie Moon absolutely belted the bar as she went up, and down, and it still stayed up there!

Incredible!

Sandi Morris now has to push the height up in an all or nothing bid for gold.

Oh, I hope that doesn't cost him.

Arshad Nadeem, the Pakistani thrower we were talking about earlier in the night, has gone and thrown his best distance of the night with 85.28m to leapfrog the Aussie.

McIntyre is currently sitting in 11th place across the two groups.

Only the top 12 qualify.
