  2. Asher-Smith goes for record-equalling seventh Euro goldpublished at 21:47 BST

    Women's 4x100m

    Dina Asher-Smith has won six European golds, two silvers and one bronze from five championships.

    She could equal the record of seven golds to become the most successful athlete in the history of the competition.

    Two athletes jointly hold that record - Croatian discus thrower Sandra Elkasevic (formerly Perkovic) and Jakob Ingebrigtsen, who picked up his seventh title with men's 5,000m victory on the opening night in Birmingham.

    The 30-year-old could also draw level with fellow sprinter Irena Szewinska of Poland as the most-decorated European athlete of all time. Szewinska won a total of 10 medals from 1966-1978.

    Of other current female athletes, Dutch star Femke Broeders-Bol has five golds and two bronze medals.

    There may be some pressure because Amy Hunt is going for another gold medal. The girls might feel that pressure.

    When we're in a sport as well where it is so individual, and you're always out there for yourself, it is difficult going into a relay situation. They will be aware that Hunt has had so much success already and that she is hunting two more gold medals.

  4. Italians asked the questionspublished at 21:45 BST

    Italy put everything into that qualification, making sure they put down a marker.

    I think probably while we're here we're all talking about the Brits going out there and going to win.

    The Italians turned around and asked the questions. 'What are you going to bring in the final because we're running fast?'

    The Europeans are a great opportunity for some of the younger names or newer names to come in.

    We know Dina Asher-Smith is going to come into this team, but you get to blood athletes, you have that opportunity for them to experience a crowd and to get on the track and gel as a team, which is a hugely important part of it.

    These qualifications, as long as you get through safely it is a brilliant place to get experience.

  5. 'It's about performing together'published at 21:44 BST

    We are individual performers, and Amy Hunt loves to go out there and be centre stage. The dynamic is very different. You're now a collective and it is about performing together.

    On Great Britain's morning session form...

    The relay is about gelling as a collective.

    We all know their sensational runners in their own right. To be able to bring that energy, atmosphere and connection between each of the runners is important.

    You felt that here - it was smooth and there was no drama. They did the business and got through to the final.

  6. 'Special opportunity'published at 21:43 BST

    Great Britain's Amy Hunt, speaking to BBC Sport: "Shake out the legs. I love the relay and it is such a pressure and a privilege to do it with these girls. It is such a special opportunity to soak in the crowd again and qualify for the final amazingly."

  7. Hunt goes for part three of golden quadruplepublished at 21:42 BST

    Women's 4x100m

    Did someone say iconic? Double sprint champion Amy Hunt is seeking the third of an unprecedented four golds at a single European Championships, while victory for Great Britain would give Dina Asher-Smith a record-equalling seventh title (joining Jakob Ingebrigtsen and discus thrower Sandra Elkasevic).

    A medal of any colour for Asher-Smith would match the all-time high of 10 by Polish ex-sprinter Irena Szewinska.

    The biggest threat to the defending champions will likely be Olympic and world bronze medallists Germany.

    GB get the gold! The first of the evening.

    As soon as the baton was handed over to Romell Glave, the newly crowned 100m champion, it was never in doubt. A time of 38.45 seconds.

    Germany get the silver, Belgium take bronze.

    Jeremiah Azu, who sealed silver in the 100m earlier this week, will kick off the running for Great Britain and he gets a huge cheer as his name is read out.

    The hosts are the favourites here, but they'll need to be wary of Germany.

    It is fair to say from what we have seen in qualification and the way they have been running individually. I think we would be disappointed if they didn't come away with a gold medal.

    We know Louie Hinchliffe is an incredibly fast athlete, so obviously when he's fit, healthy and able to go, then you're going to want him in and around that team.

    Obviously, historically with the British relay we have had a few problems. Recently it has been fantastic. You're hoping that they speed them up a bit more, they are quite slick.
