7.00pm | Athletics: The final of the women’s javelin will feature Doha 2019 world champion and Tokyo 2020 Olympic bronze medallist, Kelsey-Lee Barber. The South African-born Aussie won bronze in 2014 and silver in 2018. Can she complete a full set with gold in Birmingham? Then, we count down to an epic Monday morning of athletics, when Peter Bol hits the track for the men’s 800m final.
