England have won gold in the men's and women's 4x100m relays at the Commonwealth Games.

The men's squad of Reuben Arthur, Zharnel Hughes, Richard Kilty and Harry Aikines-Aryeetey won in 38.13 seconds at the Carrara Stadium on Saturday.

They won ahead of South Africa and Jamaica with victory a reward for Hughes, who collected a gold medal after being disqualified from the 200m final having won the race.

In the women's race, long jumper Lorraine Ugen resisted the charge of Jamaica's double Olympic champion Elaine Thompson on the anchor leg to take gold.
