Sanders became only the fourth Briton to run a sub-50 time after winning her semi-final in 49.77 seconds, and Ohuruogu continued her impressive comeback from a 12-month ban for missing three out-of-competition drug tests to post 50.16secs.

Commonwealth Games champion Phillips Idowu struggled to sixth place in the triple jump final after managing just 17.09 metres, while Andy Baddeley produced a storming final 100m to secure a place in Wednesday's 1,500m final.

European Indoor champion Sanders clocked the second fastest semi-final time behind Jamaica's Novlene Williams to smash her previous personal best of 50.68secs, while Ohuruogu looked a convincing winner of her semi-final.

"I could not have asked for better," said Sanders.

"I was injured earlier in the season and it wasn't going great. But I think that was a blessing in disguise and I'm just coming into some form, so to run a PB and get into the final is fantastic.

"The main event is in two days' time so I have got to get ready for that now."
