Two Brits into women's 100m final

Great Britain's Ashleigh Nelson has qualified for the women's 100m final at the European Championships in Zurich.

Following a lengthy delay to the start of the evening session because of strong winds, Nelson eventually won her heat with a time of 11.23s.

Teammate Desiree Henry also made it into the final thanks to a second-place finish in the next race.

However, Asha Philip missed out on the chance to win a medal after narrowly losing out in the final heat. The Brit was pipped to a place in the final by France's Celine Distel-Bonnet, who made it through by less than than a hundredth of a second.
