Zambia's Muzala Samukonga (L) comes home ahead of second-placed Matthew Hudson-Smith of England to take gold in the men's 400m final at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. England's Matthew Hudson-Smith, who won bronze in the event at last month's world championships, was forced to settle for silver. Williams outclassed Victoria Ohuruogu, who missed out on emulating her elder sister, 2008 Olympic gold medallist Christine, who won Commonwealth gold in 2006. Williams, 24, who won bronze at the recent world championships, set a new Games record of 49.90sec, with Ohuruogu taking silver. Nigeria's Tobi Amusan celebrates her 100m hurdles gold medal at the Commonwealth Games.
