Bahamian Miller-Uibo was seventh in her heat after only recently returning to action following giving birth.The US athlete went into the championships third in the world rankings having clocked 49.13 seconds this year, just ahead of fourth-ranked Adeleke, with world number one Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone missing the Budapest tests because of injury.

O'Connor's long jump struggles of previous major championships continue as her best leap of 5.74m was 36 centimetres down on her lifetime best and 0.23m shy of her season's best set three weeks ago. The Newry-born athlete was targeting a top-10 finish in Budapest but that now looks beyond her with the concluding 800m at 17:00.Great Britain's 2019 champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson moved into the lead after producing a 6.54m long jump and impressive 46.14m which put her 26 points ahead Dutchwoman Anouk Vetter and 43 clear of US favourite Anna Hall, who has looked inhibited by injury during the competition, but it a 2:02 800m runner at her best.
