British sprinter Asha Philip has backed the women's 4x100m relay team to "rise to the occasion" after securing a place in Sunday's final.

Philip led out Jodie Williams, Bianca Williams and Desiree Henry to a time of 42.48s, just outside the British record.

The 24-year-old told the British Athletics website: "These girls have worked so hard this year, and especially last few weeks. We just believe in each other, I know what they're capable of. So for them to go out and come third in world relays, come third in Moscow and get gold in the Europeans they can rise to the occasion. They're ready and they're born performers."

Defending champions Jamaica were the fastest in the qualifiers, setting the quickest time of 2015.
