Athletics, Men’s Javelin Throw: It’s the typical Neeraj Chopra throw! Fire and celebrate! The javelin soars a great distance. However, there seems to be a technical issue as we do not know how far Chopra or Kuwait’s Abdulrahman Alazemi threw. There’s a long delay as Chopra hands about the jury table to get some information. It is a pity if Chopra will have to throw again.

Athletics, Women’s Triple Jump Final: Sheena Nellickal is the only Indian in action in the event. Her personal best of 13.60m is the second lowest among the nine-member field.

Wrestling: Sunil does well to defend from the upside down position on the mat after being called or passivity to restrict the lead to one point. Azisbekov has a slender lead after the first period.

Athletics, Men’s High Jump: Jesse Sandesh and Sarvesh Kushare take no time in clearing the 2.10m mark - their entry height in the high jump event. Still a long way to go, and bigger heights to conquer.

Athletics, Men’s Javelin Throw: India’s only Olympic champion in track and field is in action today as Neeraj Chopra looks to defend his gold medal from five years ago.

Squash: And Saurav Ghosal does it in straight games to enter his second singles final at the Asian Games. Despite Leung trying his best to put up a fight in the third game, Ghosal outclassed him in the semi-final. Ghosal 11-2, 11-1, 11-6 Leung.

The world No 19 will now face Ng Eain Yow from Malaysia, who is the world No 18 in the final.

This time round, he will be looking to get that last medal for his collection.

India move on to the final where they will fight for gold and a Paris Olympics qualification spot.

Hockey, men’s semi-final, India 5-3 South Korea, Q4: Good dribbling there on the right from the Korean attacker to jinx past Harmanpreet. He fires in a cross but none of his teammates can apply the finishing touch. A minute and a half left in the match.

Hockey, men’s semi-final, India 5-3 South Korea, Q4: Abhishek scores! Looks like they probably read the last update because Mandeep and Abhishek combine beautifully to give India some breathing space. Mandeep takes down a high ball with grace and holds it up for support. His pass towards the circle is intercepted but Abhishek wins it back. He gets in the circle and unleashes a powerful reverse hit into goal. He also inadvertently whacks Korea’s Lee Juyoung on his knee and the defender has to be stretchered off the field.

Hockey, men’s semi-final, India 4-3 South Korea, Q4: The Korean needs to be applauded for the way they have silenced Mandeep Singh and Abhishek. The two have been India’s best forwards in Hangzhou and they haven’t been able to influence the match as much as they would have liked.

Hockey, men’s semi-final, India 4-3 South Korea, End of Q3: A cagey third quarter ends with South Korea taking all the momentum into the final quarter. Five years ago, India led 2-1 at half-time in their semi-final match only to concede a late leveller. India cannot afford to make the same mistakes today.

Hockey, men’s semi-final, India 4-3 South Korea, Q3: Jung Manjae gets his hat-trick! The Koreans get a PC after the umpire rules that Harmanpreet Singh did not move five meters away for a Korean free hit. The Indians argue and dilly dally over using their referral. All this while, the clock is ticking away. In the end they don’t take it. But it also means that the PC defence is not ready. The Koreans are and with the rushers late, Jonghyun’s drag-flick is deflected by Manjae past Krishan Pathak high into the goal.

Hockey, men’s semi-final, India 4-2 South Korea, Q3: India break on the counter through Lalit. He feeds the ball to Hardik Singh on the right. Hardik decides to cut in and jinx past Jang Jonghyun. However, the veteran Korean defender nicks the ball away and ends the Indian attack.

Hockey, men’s semi-final, India 4-2 South Korea, Q2: That’s some fine hold up play and stick work from Harmanpreet. He’s boxed in a corner near the baseline and has two Korean players on him. With his back to them, he shields the ball and forces them to put the ball behind.

Ling, however, says that he saw the replays on the big screen and says he made the wrong decision and correctly reverses his original decision.

Kabaddi, Women’s Group A, IND vs THA: The Indians get the first all-out of the match. They take an 11-3 lead over Thailand.

Hockey, men’s semi-final, India 3-1 South Korea, Q2: The Koreans hit back right at the start of the quarter and it is a well-executed penalty corner routine.

Upadhyay, however, is right behind him and makes no mistake in tapping the ball into the empty goal.
