The Jamaicans rustle up a trio of their national flags to drape around their shoulders, then swing their dancing hips in a typically-fun celebration.

But you have got to feel for Lesotho's Mosito Lehata, who crashes to the track in despair. He was right up with Dwyer, Weir and Livermore, maybe even leading as they scuttled off the bend, before the latter Jamaican mugged him on the line for bronze.

What on Earth happened here! David Rudisha opens his stride around the final bend and looks certain to wrap up the Commonwealth gold. But wait. Botswana's teeth-gritting Nijel Amos, who looked in danger of being boxed, produces a perfectly-timed lung-bursting sprint from 70m to nick a thrilling contest. Wow.

"This was a masterclass in sprinting from David Weir at the end - he's always had tremendous hand speed. He made it look incredibly easy and the margin of victory is massive by the end. I think he was leaving it until this season to see if he would carry on until Rio 2016 but in my opinion he simply has to."

"England's Jessica Judd with a performance of maturity. She needed that for her own confidence to get that belief as someone of only 19 years of age. A really brave effort from Scotland's Emily Dudgeon but she will just miss out on the final unfortunately.

"Lynsey Sharp was in floods of tears after thinking she would not be in the final after that first semi. She'll be mightily relieved to know that she's just scraped in."

Athletics

Emily Dudgeon looks nervously at the scoreboard as she waits to find out if she will qualify for the final as a fastest loser. Not so. The second semi-final was much slower than the first, meaning another Scot, Lynsey Sharp, along with England's Jenny Meadows bag those final two spots.
