Laura Kenny seals women's 10km scratch race gold for England after incredible end to race

Laura Kenny has secured the second Commonwealth Games gold medal of her career, after clinching victory in the women's 10km scratch race at Lee Valley Velopark. The English star saw off the likes of Michaela Drummond of New Zealand and Maggie Coles-Lyster to secure the dramatic win.

The English star left it late in her pursuit of gold, as she made her move in the final moments by hanging back before exploding past her rivals and into first place. It was Scotland's Neah Evans who led the way heading into the final lap, and with just 150 metres to go England's Kenny made her lightening dash to the front.

Evans faded late on, allowing Drummond to take silver in second, and Coles-Lyster to take third and bronze to complete the podium.
