Commonwealth Games 2022 Day 6 Highlights: India's rich haul in weightlifting continues, Tejaswin Shankar wins bronze

Well things were levelled at 3-all after round 2 and the boxers left no stones unturned in the final round. Punches were exchanged continuously for almost the entire round and the judges rule the contest in favour of Aaron Bowen, who wins 4-1 by split decision. 

Ashish Kumar puts a great combination of defence and offence. He did manage to land blows on his opponent but also took a few hits in the process. The second round puts thing on level terms and it all depends on the final round.

India's Ashish Kumar and England's Aaron Bowen put up a strong fight in the opening round of the Boxing Men's 80kg Light Heavyweight Quarter-final. The punches were thrown from both ends. The judges rules the round 3-2 in favour of the Indian. 

This was India's second-biggest victory (by margin) in women's T20. Additionally, Renuka Singh is now the highest wicket-taker in CWG 2022 with 9 dismissals to her name! 

A fairly straightforward victory for India against Barbados, as Harmanpreet Kaur and co. clinch a 100-run victory to reach the semi-finals of the Commonwealth Games 2022!

Manpreet Kaur representing India and she manages a best throw of 15.59m. She has finished 12th in the finals. 

He had finished joined sixth in 2018. Needless to say, there has been a lot of improvement over these last four years. Tejaswin gives it his all but is unable to clear the 2.28m. It means that New Zealand's Hamish Kerr takes gold, Australian 2018 champion Brandon Starc takes silver and Shankar has bronze.  

All the drama in the buildup was for nothing. Tejaswin has probably shown the AFI who they had initially chosen not to select incredibly. Bahamas' Donald Thomas fails to clear 2.25 which means that he is getting a bronze at least. It seems he is going to attempt a final jump of 2.28m, which if he does somehow manage, will get him a gold. 

The Olympic bronze medallist misses out on a medal! How about that for a shocker. Lovlina had a point deduction in the second round and she ends up losing by split decision. This certainly has not been one of Lovlina's best performances but the result is an upset nonetheless. 

He goes for 2.25 twice but is unable to clear it. Only Hamish Kerr and defending champion Brandon Starc hage done it so far. 

The Olympic bronze medallist is up against Rossie Eccles of Wales in the women's 70kg quarter-final. That first round has been all about Lovlina and the judges have given her the first round 4-1. 

He is on a roll here. Tejaswin has arguably had the cleanest jumps in the field so far. He has not had to go beyond his first attempt even once yet.  

He had finished fourth in the CWG in 2018 and gets a medal this time. Gurdeep ends with a total lift of 390kg. David Liti of New Zealand has won silver with a total lift of 394kg and Pakistan Muhammad Nooh Dastgir Butt has won gold with a total lift of 405kg, which is a new Games Record. He goes over to the Indian camp and shares a warm hug with Gurdeep after celebrating his gold. 

Australia's Suamili Nanai fails in his final lift which means Gurdeep is assured of a medal. He then lifts 223kg succesfully for his final attempt and it looks like it will be bronze. 

Gurdeep easily lifts 207kg in his first clean and jerk attempt. He then increases the weight by a whopping 8kg, takes his time to complete but the jury flags that he had a bent knee. 

He is still in the first attempt zone at the moment, is Tejaswin Shankar. Absoluteluy clean, almost effortless from him. That is so clean a majority of the stadium cheers for him. 

The sensational Renuka Singh dismisses Deandra Dottin, who had recently retired from the West Indies citing a toxic team atmosphere, for a duck off the third ball of the first over. She then gets another in her second and Barbados are in all sorts of problems.  

Tejaswin has cleared the 2.15m with absolute ease. This is far below his personal best, and the national record, which stands at a proud 2.29m. 

Deepti Sharma and Jemimah Rodrigues have scored 58 runs in the last five overs and their partnership is on 70 off 43 balls. Jemimah ends on 56 off 46 and Deepti is unbeaten on 34 off 28.

After all that extraordinary drama that went in the buildup to the games for Tejaswin, he is finally here, doing what he does best. His first attempt is clean as a whistle and he clears 2.10m with ease. 

Gurdeep Singh is fourth after the snatch round with a best lift of 167kg. Pakistan's Muhammad Noor Dastgir Butt leads the field with a Games record lift of 173kg. 

Jemimah Rodrigues has been the anchor for India today, she is on 45 off 39 while Deepti Sharma has scored six off 10. India need to get a move on now, into the last four overs

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMMI!!" shouts Nikhat into the camera, pretty sure the entire country heard that, let alone just her mother. There was no anxious wait for her, she wins by unanimous decision and is the third Indian boxer today to be assured of a medal.  

The judges have awarded the first two rounds to Nikhat unanimously. The referee is on her case a bit in the third round for aggression, Jones is completely outmatched here.

Adlington gets an Ippon and it's all over. Tulika takes a while to get up from the mat but she can be proud of what she has achieved here, second Indian to win a judo medal at the CWG.
