New Zealand has won its first gold medal at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.

The New Zealand sprint cycling team of Ethan Mitchell, Eddie Dawkins and Sam Webster won their final at the velodrome, beating England by half a second.

The trio recorded a Commonwealth Games record time.

They add the Commonwealth Games title to the world title they won in Colombia earlier this year.
