Jessica Ennis-Hill has won heptathlon gold at the World Athletics Championships after holding off her rivals in the 800m.
The Olympic champion produced a season's best of 6.43m in the long jump as fellow Briton Katarina Johnson-Thompson's medal hopes ended after recording three fouls and, therefore, collecting no points.

Ennis-Hill, who is competing at her first major championships since London 2012, proceeded to open up a gap of 86 points on Nadine Broersen, following a throw of 42.51m in the javelin.
Johnson-Thompson, perhaps with one eye on competing the long jump later in the week, decided to jog around the final 800m to round off her campaign.
In the final heat and with the medals on the line, Canada's Brianne Thiesen-Eaton tried to stretch the Sheffield athlete over the final lap, but Ennis-Hill won gold in style by overtaking the pre-championship favourite to cross the line in first.
