11:25 p.m.

Over halfway home, and Britain's Jessica Ennis-Hill is where she wants to be — leading the heptathlon after four of seven events.

With a blistering 200 meters, the defending champion overtook surprise early leader Nafissatou Thiam of Belgium to regain the momentum going into the final day.

With a time of 23.49, Ennis-Hill pushed up her total to 4,057 points, the only woman to break the 4,000-mark. Thiam only set the 24th best time over the 200 meters and fell back to second with 3,985.
