England claim silver as men lose cycling team pursuit final at Commonwealth Games

New Zealand defeated England to win gold in the men's 4000m team pursuit.

New Zealand started well, powering to an early lead as Jordan Kerby led the Kiwi outfit. Aaron Gate took the next leg and England attempted to narrow the gap but the team of Dan Bigham, Charlie Tanfield, Ethan Vernon and Oli Wood could not stop their record-setting opponents.

Both teams changed well and didn't make any mistakes, and New Zealand pushed the speed to near-record pace as they stretched their advantage to over a second and a half. Ultimately, a new Commonwealth Games record awaited the champions while England settled for silver.
