They were level with Kazakhstan for third place before edging them out in the shoot-off to claim bronze. Naruka has also qualified for the men’s skeet individual final, which is scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m. IST.

Qatar win gold, while Kuwait take silver.

The women’s 49kg final is underway, with the ever-smiling Mirabai Chanu walking out as the lifters line up ahead of the action. Mirabai’s starting weight for the snatch is listed at 83kg.

Her opening weight is currently behind Chinese Taipei’s Fang Wan-Ling and North Korea’s Ri Song Gum, who enters the contest as one of the leading contenders.

Mirabai Chanu is now in action in the women’s 49kg weightlifting final, with India hoping for another strong medal performance from the Olympic medallist.

India have secured a convincing 37-23 win over Iran in the women’s kabaddi Group A clash. Iran started strongly and held the advantage early on, but India steadily clawed their way back before taking the lead and pulling away to seal the victory.

Manu Bhaker finishes fifth in the women’s 10m Air Pistol final after scoring 20.4 across her final two shots. The Jhajjar-born shooter bows out with a final score of 181.1, with Shen Yiyao finishing 0.8 points ahead. Manu walks away with a big smile despite missing out on the podium.

Manu Bhaker has started the women’s 10m Air Pistol final, sitting joint fifth after 10 shots with a score of 100.3 alongside Shen Yiyao.

She opened with a 10.2 and 9.9 before an 8.9 dropped her into the bottom half of the leaderboard. World No. 1 Yao Qianxun, meanwhile, surprisingly missed the final despite finishing in the top eight in qualification.

India continue to lead Iran 13-11 in the women’s kabaddi Group A clash. The Indian team have been ahead from the start and now hold a two-point advantage as the contest moves forward.

What a seven-game thriller! Jay Meena beats Sherwin Nuguit in the men’s singles quarterfinal to book his place in the semifinal. The win also guarantees Jay a medal at the Asian Games, with the Indian now just one victory away from reaching the final.

India have secured the bronze medal in the women’s skeet team event. Parinaaz Dhaliwal, Raiza Dhillon, and Maheshwari Chauhan finished with a score of 331.

China’s Che Yufei, Jian Yiting, and Jiang Chaoyu claimed gold with 347, while Kazakhstan’s Assem Orynbay, Zoya Piskun, and Adel Sadakbayeva took silver with 336.

Heartbreak for India in the women’s 10m Air Rifle team event. India finish level with Vietnam on 1719 points, but the Vietnamese trio edge ahead on the inner 10s tiebreaker, leaving India fourth and just outside the medals.

The consolation is that Manu Bhaker has made it through to the individual final. The focus now shifts to Manu, with an individual medal still within reach.

Aneesh Gowda finishes fourth in Heat 2 of the men’s 200m freestyle, while Vedaant Madhavan comes home sixth. Both Indians have completed their heats as the competition moves forward.

Megha Pradeep finishes fifth in the women’s Canoe Single 200m heats and advances to the semifinals. The Indian paddler will now look to step up her performance and push for a place in the final.

India are being pushed all the way by the Philippines in their men’s Regu Team Group B clash. The Philippines have levelled the second match by taking the set 15-10, forcing a deciding third set.

India need a 3-0 win in this final group-stage match to keep their medal hopes alive, and there is no room for error now. The urgency is showing as the Indian team fight to stay in contention.

The Indians are finding it tough in the 10m Air Pistol qualification, but Manu Bhaker has given herself a boost. The 24-year-old shot 98 in her third series to break into the top eight for the first time in the qualification round, marking an excellent comeback after her earlier struggles.

Esha Singh, meanwhile, slipped to 35th after a 93 in her second series, while Suruchi Singh shot another 94 to move into the top 25.

A strong start to India’s rowing campaign today. Balraj Panwar finished third in the men’s single sculls heats with a time of 6:52.84, just 0.31 seconds behind Chi Fung Chan. He currently sits fourth overall across the two heats and has made the final.

Satnam Singh and Salman Khan have also booked their place in tomorrow’s final in the men’s double sculls. The Indian pair finished second in their heat and fourth overall, missing out on third place by just a few tenths of a second. Two Indian boats, two finals - a good morning on the water.
