The Bahamas won the men's 4x400 metres final at the Olympic Stadium with a time of 2mins 56.72secs.

The United States came second and Trinidad third, 0.31s ahead of Great Britain.
Great Britain finished an agonising fourth in the 4x400 metres final as a courageous anchor-leg run from Martyn Rooney just came up short.
Rooney attacked round the final bend and on the home straight past Russia's Pavel Trenikhin and was closing on Trinidad's Deon Lendore, but was held off.
The host quartet, which also included Conrad Williams, Jack Green and Dai Greene, finished in two minutes 59.53 seconds.
South Africa, with Oscar Pistorius on the fourth leg, finished eighth.
