Denise Lewis expects the women's heptathlon at the World Athletics Championships to "go down to the wire".

Denise Lewis has suggested that the World Championships' women's heptathlon is likely to go down to the wire.

Jessica Ennis-Hill leads from British teammate Katarina Johnson-Thompson after two of the seven events.

Lewis, who won Olympic gold in 2000, has said that while Ennis-Hill looks strong, the heptathlon is likely to be in the balance until the finale.

She told BBC Sport: "It's going to go down to the wire, I think. But it's great to see Jessica Ennis-Hill back at the top for now.

"She had a great first two events. In the hurdles, I'd say she was a little disappointed with her time, but she still ran under 13 seconds. After what she's been through, with having her baby, and the injuries she's suffered as well, it's a fine achievement.

"To back that up with another solid performance in the high jump, I thought was very, very good. She looks strong, she looks in control and she looks relaxed out there."

Johnson-Thompson managed to jump 1.89m in the high jump, despite struggling with her run-up throughout the competition.
