England's Adam Gemili "over the moon" with Commonwealth Games silver

Adam Gemili says that he is "over the moon" with his silver medal in the men's 100m at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Team England's Adam Gemili has thanked supporters for cheering him on to a Commonwealth Games silver medal in last night's men's 100m.

The 20-year-old led the way at Hampden Park until Jamaica's Kemar Bailey-Cole stepped up a gear to take gold.

"So I've woken up this morning and it turns out it wasn't just a dream," Gemili said on Twitter. "It really did happen. Commonwealth Games Silver medallist!

"A special thanks to every single person for supporting me out there. Wish I could individually thank you all but just know I am so grateful.

"A huge thank you to my amazing team who without their hard work I wouldn't be anywhere. My first senior medal and I really am over the moon."

The bronze medal went to Nickel Ashmeade of Jamaica.
