New Zealand athletes have added another three medals to their tally at the Commonwealth Games, with the cyclists once again providing the results in Delhi.

The New Zealand men's team claimed silver in the team pursuit on the back of Joanne Kiesanowski's silver in the women's scratch race, while Sam Webster took bronze in the men's sprint on Thursday.

New Zealand's medal tally stands at 10, with six won at the Indira Gandhi Sports Complex velodrome.

The pursuit team were confident of upsetting the favoured Australians but the pace was too fast for the New Zealanders, who lost their form towards the end of the race.

The Australians won in a time of 3 minutes 55.476 seconds.

Kiesanowski can thank teammates Rushlee Buchanan and Gemma Dudley for setting up the silver medal after a great all-round effort.

Australia's Megan Dunn claimed the gold for her team after another dominant performance.

In the men's sprint, Webster edged out teammate Eddie Dawkins in the bronze medal race to cap another good night on the track for New Zealand.
