There will be no second battle between Kenyans and Britain's triple Olympic champion Mo Farah after men's 5,000m charges failed to sail into the finals set for Saturday.

World silver medallist Caleb Ndiku was expected to renew rivalry with Farah after losing to the Briton at the World Championships last year. But the battle saw Ndiku, the Commonwealth Games champion, finish sixth in a heat that Ethiopia's Hagos Gebrehiwet, the 2013 world silver medallist, won in 13:24.65. Ndiku timed 13:26.63.
