The home nation, fronted by Adam Gemili, were head to head with the Jamaicans coming into the final leg.

However Usain Bolt, arguably the star attraction of the Glasgow games, produced a grandstand finish to see off Danny Talbot and cross the line about five metres ahead of his rival.

Bolt's all-conquering team also set a new Games record of 37.58.
