New Zealand's most successful Commonwealth Games has been capped by the country's most successful athlete.

Joelle King and Amanda Landers-Murphy have triumphed in straight games over England's Sarah-Jane Perry and Alison Waters, winning New Zealand's 20th gold medal in Birmingham.

That number eclipsed the previous record of 17, set 32 years ago in Auckland, while the final total of 49 medals surpassed every previous edition of the event held overseas.

Commonwealth Games Chef de Mission Nigel Avery joined Mike Hosking.
