Duration: 3 hours, 30 minutes

Jonathan Edwards introduces live coverage of the Aviva Grand Prix, regarded as the highest-profile meeting on the indoor circuit.

This year's event in Birmingham has again attracted a world-class field, including British world champion Mo Farah, heptathlon queen Jessica Ennis and former 100m world record holder Asafa Powell. Farah competes over two miles, having memorably set a British indoor record for the 5,000m at this meeting last year. It was the 25th British record to be set at the National Indoor Arena, where 14 world records have also been broken.

Jamaican sprinter Powell makes a rare outing over 60m, having clocked more sub-10 second performances over 100m than any other athlete in history. Powell, who is making his UK indoor debut, faces local favourite Mark Lewis-Francis, while world-class middle-distance runners Jenny Meadows and Hannah England are also in action.

With commentary from Paul Dickenson, Steve Cram and Ron McIntosh.
