England's Emily Diamond has said that her 4x400m women's relay team will push the rival Jamaican team hard in tomorrow night's final at the Commonwealth Games.

The English quartet - Diamond, Shana Cox, Margaret Adeoye and Christine Ohuruogu - comfortably sailed through tonight's heat with a time of 3:27.88, while their Jamaican counterparts topped the other heat with a slightly slower 3:28.29.

"[Jamaica] are always going to have a strong team," Diamond told Sports Mole after the race. "[Having] taken the whole podium in the individual, they're not going to have a weak team, so we've just got to push them as much as we can in the final and make sure that they don't have any designs on that gold medal, because we're going to fight for it."

Of tonight's heats performance, she added: "We just had to be safe, put in a strong performance and qualify in a good position. Bring on tomorrow! [We need to] get plenty of rest and to try to improve for the final."

The women's 4x400m relay final gets underway from 7.50pm at Glasgow's Hampden Park.
