Gemili takes silver as Bailey-Cole wins 100m

England's Adam Gemili has taken silver after he finished second to Kemar Bailey-Cole in the men's 100m final.

Gemili darted out the blocks and led the way until the Jamaican turned on the afterburners to accelerate away from his rival to finish with a time of 10s.

Bailey-Cole's compatriot Nickel Ashmeade took the bronze, as he finished just short of Gemili's 10.10s run at Hampden Park.

Speaking to BBC Sport, Bailey-Cole said: "It means a lot, it's my first individual medal at the championship, so it mean a lot to me. This is just the start for me."

Earlier in the evening, Blessing Okagbare won the women's 100m final.
