( CNN ) -- The very best was reserved for last and Usain Bolt did not disappoint . The track and field superstar took the baton on the anchor leg of the sprint relay for Jamaica a stride behind an inspired English quartet before surging clear in the home straight -- the winning time a Commonwealth Games record of 38.58 seconds . Despite being a six-time Olympic champion , it was Bolt 's first gold at the Commonwealth Games and he celebrated by prolonged laps of honor of Hampden Park , signing autographs and posing for endless selfies . It was a fitting finale for the athletics program and Bolt had treated the capacity crowd to his usual pre-race antics , cavorting to `` I 'm Gon na Be '' by the Proclaimers before switching to race mode as only he can . England 's last leg runner Dan Talbot might have dreamed of gold but he could not match Bolt 's giant stride and had to settle for a deserved silver ahead of Trinidad and Tobago . Jamaica 's women 's quartet also won their sprint relay , anchored by the reigning Olympic and world sprint champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce . Like Bolt , she has been having a relatively low-key year ahead of preparing for the 2016 Olympics in Rio , but still showed a neat turn of foot to lead her team home in 41.83 seconds , also a Games record . Nigeria took silver ahead of England . Earlier , 40-year-old mother of two Jo Pavey struck a blow for veteran athletes with a superb bronze in the women 's 5,000m for England . Pavey pushed world class Kenyan pair Mercy Cherono and Janet Kiso all the way on a pulsating final lap before finishing a superb third . There was another fairytale story in the men 's javelin where Julius Yego of Kenya , famous for perfecting his technique by watching clips on YouTube , took gold with a throw of 83.87 meters . Away from the track and field action , England 's Tom Daley dominated the men 's 10m platform diving to retain his title in superb style . He put together six fine dives to win by over 82 points . The 20-year-old Daley was one of the poster boys of the London 2012 Olympics , where he took bronze , and his gold was one of the highlights for an England team who have easily topped the medals table at the Games ahead of arch-rivals Australia . The final day of action will see the men 's and women 's road races in cycling and an eagerly-anticipated New Zealand-Australia clash in the women 's netball final . The Games will officially close Sunday evening after 11 days of action .
