Matt Hudson-Smith was the highlight on a mixed evening for British athletes, posting a season’s best 44.10 to win the men’s 400m ahead of American duo Christopher Bailey and Jacory Patterson.

British record holder Zharnel Hughes also ran a season’s best of 9.91 to finish second in the men’s 100m, behind Olympic silver medallist Kishane Thompson of Jamaica, who posted a time of 9.85.

Jemma Reekie equalled her season’s best of 1:58.66 to finish seventh in the women’s 800m. Paris gold medallist Keely Hodgkinson, whose return from a hamstring injury was delayed by a setback in April, did not compete.

Ethiopa’s Tsige Duguma, silver medallist behind Hodgkinson in Paris, won in a time of 1:57.10.

Dina Asher-Smith finished seventh in the women’s 100m, with American Melissa Jefferson-Wooden surging to victory in 10.75 and ahead of Olympic champion Julien Alfred.

Jake Wightman finished eighth and Neil Gourley 12th in the Bowerman Mile. The race was won in stunning fashion by Dutchman Niels Laros, who reeled in American Yared Nuguse in the final 10 metres and pipped him on the line by 0.01 seconds.

Elsewhere, Sweden’s world record holder Armand Duplantis comfortably won the men’s pole vault with a height of 6.00m.

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone equalled a season’s best 49.43 to hold off fellow Americans Aaliyah Butler and Isabella Whittaker in the women’s 400m, with Ireland’s Rhasidat Adeleke finishing fourth.
