CWG 2022: Hockey - India 3-0 Wales in Q3

Hat-trick for Harmanpreet! India get a penalty stroke after a Wales player came in the way of a deflecting from Lalit Upadhyay's stick. Wales appeal and the video umpire finds no reason to change the decision. Harmanpreet steps up, sends the goalie the wrong way and gets his hat-trick. 

Aug 4, 2022, 19:34:45 IST

Commonwealth Games: Squash - Deepika and Ghoshal win 1st game

That was tricky but the Indian pair take the first game 11-8. Both pairs were visibly frustrated with some of the umpiring calls in that game.

Aug 4, 2022, 19:19:14 IST

Commonwealth Games Live: Squash - Saurav Ghosal and Deepika Pallikal Karthik

Right here are the reigning mixed doubles world champions and they are up against Wales' Peter Creed and Emily Whitlock. 

Aug 4, 2022, 19:14:37 IST

Commonwealth Games: Men's Hockey - India 2-0 Wales at half time

A good quarter from India. They hardly gave Wales a chance with the one time they came close being when Carson passed the ball to Shipperley inside the circle. But the latter couldn't control it and that was it. 

Aug 4, 2022, 19:05:25 IST

CWG 2022: Men's Hockey - India 2-0 Wales in Q2

Another PC, another goal from Harmanpreet. Machine-like precision from him. He goes to the right of goal this time from a PC that India got soon after the first was scored. 

Aug 4, 2022, 18:59:25 IST

Commonwealth Games Live: Men's Hockey - India 1-0 Wales in Q2

It is a penalty corner in the end that gives India the lead. The PC is held up after a rather lengthy break for referral, at the end of which the video umpire says there is no advice possible. Harmanpreet then threads a flick into the left corner of the goal. Not the usual thunderbolt flick from him but a more carefully placed one that blinds the goalie. 

Aug 4, 2022, 18:57:12 IST

Commonwealth Games: Men's Hockey - India 0-0 Wales after Q1

A rather cagey first quarter. Wales would be pretty happy with how things have gone so far. Their defence has done a good job of keeping out the Indians. 

Aug 4, 2022, 18:55:43 IST

CWG 2022: Men's Hockey - India vs Wales

India need a big win here to keep their top spot in the group and avoid a semi-final against Australia. They currently have a nine-goal lead over second-placed England, who face Canada after this game. Canada can very well ship more than 10 goals against England and so India need a big win here to keep them at bay. 

Aug 4, 2022, 18:46:01 IST

Commonwealth Games Live: Squash - Joshana-Sandhu knocked out

An extraordinary fightback from the Indians, who as the commentators looked like two individuals for much of the match, somehow fought from 9-0 down in the second game to lose 11-9. They found their groove a bit too late but the Aussie pair would be letting out a sigh of relief there.

CWG 2022: Boxing - Jaismine assured of a medal!

Medal No.5 in boxing for India. She recovers after that tiny blip in the 2nd round and takes the third round unanimously. 

Aug 4, 2022, 18:30:04 IST

Commonwealth Games: Boxing - Jaismine takes the 2nd as well!

It's only a 3-2 split this time. The New Zealander has a clear disadvantage in height but she tries to close down the distance with Jasmine choosing to dance away. She then decides to attack in the end, which is just as good because that is what may have got her that round. 

Aug 4, 2022, 18:26:55 IST

Commonwealth Games Live: Boxing - Jaismine takes the 1st round

Jaismine has the longer reach and Garton does well to maintain her guard in the early part of the round. But the Indian lands a punch and then manages to get a few in. The bell goes just as the two boxers were amping the aggression. The judges though that those punches that she landed were good enough and gives the first round to Jaismine. 

Aug 4, 2022, 18:24:44 IST

CWG 2022: Boxing - Jaismine Lamboria in action

Aug 4, 2022, 18:02:50 IST

A more straightforward affair for the Indians in the second game. They win it 11-4 and are through to the next round. This is a best of three match, remember. They will now face Donna Auslobban and Rachael Grinham of Australia at 12.30am today.

Aug 4, 2022, 16:56:36 IST

Commonwealth Games: Boxing - Panghal assured of a medal!

4-1 in favour of the Indian in the second round as well and Amit Panghal is assured of a Commonwealth Games medal. He defends for most of the round with Mulligan raining in the punches and then goes on the attack towards the end, just as his opponent starts feeling the wear and tear of making his hands work at that frantic rate. Very smart from the 2019 world championships silver medallist and he fights for the final on Saturday. 

Aug 4, 2022, 16:50:12 IST

CWG 2022: Boxing - Panghal under pressure

Mulligan doing the attacking, raining in punches relentlessly and although Panghal is weaving out of most of them. Panghal being patient and takes the fist round 4-1.

Commonwealth Games: Boxing - Amit Panghal in action

He is facing Scotland's Lennon Mulligan in the men's 51kg quarter-final. A win needed to be assured a medal for Panghal, which would be India's fourth assured medal in boxing.

Aug 4, 2022, 16:32:30 IST

Commonwealth Games 2022: Badminton - Srikanth cruises through!

The second game ends 21-9 as well and so Srikanth has just breezed through this first round. A learning experience for Wanagliya, there were a couple of calls that Srikanth could have referred there but the Indian chose to just motor through. 

Aug 4, 2022, 16:29:46 IST

Commonwealth Games 2022 Live: Badminton - Srikanth running away with it

He has taken a 16-7 lead in the second game. Wanagliya is doing better at keeping pace with the former World No.1 in this second game but Srikanth has been completely dominant since the interval. 

Aug 4, 2022, 16:27:22 IST

Aug 4, 2022, 16:19:42 IST

Commonwealth Games 2022 Live: Badminton - Srikanth in action

And he wins the first game of his match against Uganda's Daniel Wanagaliya and he wins the first game 21-9. This should be nothing more than a warm-up match for Srikanth.
