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

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

India need a big win here to keep their top spot in the group and avoid a semi-final against Australia.

Canada can very well ship more than 10 goals against England and so India need a big win here to keep them at bay.
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.

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.
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.
