Yohan Blake exposes Usain Bolt has been offering him inspiration for 100m last

The second fastest man in history is being fuelled by motivational messages from the quickest as he pursues a way back to the limelight in the Commonwealth Games 100m final on Monday.

Yohan Blake has not won an individual title since he took world gold in 2011, but the Jamaican, 28, will go into the sprint showdown as a huge favourite in a distinctly moderate field.

He qualified as the fastest on Sunday, clocking 10.06sec ahead of England's Adam Gemili, the 100m silver medallist, who was third quickest overall in 10.11sec despite carrying an adductor injury.

England's Gemili (centre) reached the men's 100m final at the Gold Coast's Carrara Stadium

Gemili appeared to suffer a minor injury as he crossed the line however, holding his hip

Blake said: 'There is a lot more in the tank.

'Usain Bolt told me, 'You've got to win, you've got to do your best or you can't go home. I believe in you'.' 

Gemili required treatment on his injury on Sunday night but said: 'It won't bother me. It's 100m, I'll put my body there and run as best as I can. I leave everything on the track.'

England made a perfect start in the athletics on Sunday courtesy of Nick Miller, who broke the Commonwealth Games record in winning hammer gold. 

His 80.26m throw shattered the 12-year-old Games mark by 2.73m and cemented Miller's status as one of Britain's most promising athletes on the global stage. The 24-year-old took silver in Glasgow and produced the third biggest throw in the world last year before making his medal breakthrough in Australia.

He said: 'Things got a little more serious last year. I got married and that changed my perspective on things. Everything seems to be slotting in to place and this result is the end of a lot of effort over the last year.

'To be honest, I thought I could throw 80m. It is the distance every hammer thrower wants to make.'

Elsewhere England's Asha Philip was the quickest qualifier for Monday's women's 100m final in 11.21 seconds. Tom Bosworth took silver in the 20km race walk.

Also, Faith Obazuaye defeated Felicity Pickard of England to qualify for the final of the women’s TT6-10 table tennis event. She plays Australia’s Melissa Taper in the gold medal match today.
