The 21 year old led after the second round with a personal best of 6.81m, but she was pipped to gold by France’s Eloyse Lesueur who leapt out to 6.85m.

Johnson-Thompson’s team-mate Shara Proctor fourth with 6.68m.

Elsewhere, the women’s 4x400m relay took bronze behind USA and Jamaica. Holly Bleasdale missed out on a pole vault medal after failing at 4.65m. The British 2012 World Indoor bronze medallist cleared 4.55m on her first attempt but struggled at the next height.
