Manjit was in the fourth spot when the race entered the final stretch. He outpaced the top three, including compatriot Jinson, to finish on the top step of the podium.

Nonetheless, a historic bronze as the current India team become the first from the country to win a table tennis medal at Asian Games.

India had stunned Japan 3-1 after Sathiyan's spectacular twin win yesterday.

PV Sindhu went up against a better player on the day. Unlike the previous big tournament finals where she had fought hard before going down, the Indian shuttler was never in the contest rather never allowed to be in the contest by Tai Tzu Ying. 

The world number one defeats Saina Nehwal and Sindhu in back-to-back games to stand on the top step of the podium at the Games. 

Silver again for PV Sindhu! This time she was blown away in the final by Tai Tzu Ying, the world number one shuttler from Chinese Taipei. 

Tai needed just 34 minutes to clinch the gold medal match 21-14, 21-16. 

Silver and Bronze for India in the women's singles badminton. 

Sindhu is trailing Tai 13-8 in the second after losing the first game 21-13. Sindhu is trying hard to stay in the match but the Chinese Taipei shuttler is oozing class, just like she has been throughout the tournament. 

What a thriller it was in the Compound Men's team archery final! India and South Korea were tied at 229 points each at the end of 24 arrows. In fact, India were leading 229-227 before the scores were revised. 

The gold medal match headed to a shoot off and Korea edged India by a slender margin to take the gold. Notably, the Koreans had hit the only bullseye of the shoot-off and it made all the difference!

India's Rajat Chauhan, Aman Saini, And Abhishek Verma should be proud of their effort. Consistent shooting from the trio, who finishes with silver medal. 

Second medal of the day from archery as India women's compound team won a silver earlier in the day after losing to South Korea. 

Not the ideal start for PV Sindhu. She was comfortably beaten 21-13 in the first game by Tai Tzu Ying. The Indian shuttler needs to find a way back into this match soon. It will be over quickly, otherwise. 

PV Sindhu stitched a few points together before the break but Tai Tzu Ying breaks the pattern to go into the break with a four-point lead. It's 11-7 in the first game. 

Tai Tzu Ying raced to a 5-0 lead within minutes. The Chinese Taipei shuttler was switched on from the word go. 

However, Sindhu fought back to win three straight points to make 5-3. It seems Sindhu needs be on top of her defence to trouble Tai here. 

India started the Compound Men's final on a high by hitting six straight 10s against South Korea. However, they have managed only 54 in the next six arrows and are leading their opposition by a solitary point. 

PV Sindhu and Tai Tzu Ying have reached the court and the atmosphere at the Istora is electrifying. 

Achantha Sharath Kamal loses first two games of his rubber (11-9, 11-9) to Young Sik Jeoung of South Korea. India are trailing 1-0 following Sathiyan's 3-1 defeat in the first rubber of the gold medal tie. 

PV Sindhu will shortly be in action in the women's singles final against world number one Tai Tzu Ying of Chinese Taipei. 

Can the Indian shuttler win a gold that has been eluding her for quite some time now?

Indonesia's Jonathan Christie has won the men's singles gold medal after beating Chou Tien Chen of Chinese Taipei in three games.

Notably, the 20-year-old is the first Asian Games gold medalist from Indonesia since Taufik Hidayat in 2006. 

Christie's young compatriot Anthony Ginting won the bronze. He had beaten in-form Kento Momota and reigning Olympic champion Chen Long en route to the semi-final. 

G Sathiyan has been beaten in four games after the Tamil Nadu paddler won the first game against world number six Lee Sangsu of South Korea. The scoreline of the first match of the rubber reads 9-11, 11-9, 11-3, 11-3.

It all boiled down to the final three arrows in the compound women's final as both India and South Korea as both the teams were tied on 201 points.

While the Koreans managed to hit three successive 10s in the high-pressure situation, India managed only 27 points with a single 10. 

Top effort though from the women's compound team, especially after the failures of the recurve teams.

Great outing for the Indian trio of Muskan Kirar, Madhumita Kumari, and Jyothi Surekha Vennam.

India men's compound team will be in action in the final against South Korea, shortly. 

India are South Korea are tied on 173 points each after 18 arrows. The gold medal match is tightly-contested. Can the Indians hold their nerve and seal a finish on the top step of the podium. 

Lee Sangsu takes the second game 11-9 against G Sathiyan. It's 1-1 in the first men's singles rubber of this semi-final tie.

Strong start from the Indian Compound Women's team. They are leading South Korea 59-57 in the gold medal match. 

India Compound Women's team has begun gold medal match against Korea. 

Muskan Kirar, Madhumita Kumari, and Jyothi Surekha Vennam are in action.

India assured themselves the first-ever Asan Games medal by beating Japan 3-1 in the quarter-final yesterday. 

The star of yesterday's win, G Sathiyan has begun the semi-final tie against Sangsu Lee of South Korea with an 11-9 win in the first game of the first rubber. 

Swapna Barman of India finished on top in the high jump event of women's heptathlon with a 1.82m-jump. She tried to clear 1.85m but missed it by a whisker as her leg disturbed the bar.

She had finished fifth in the 100m event while Purnima Hebram finished third.

Hebram though disappointed in the high jump event, finishing fifth with a best jump of 1.73m.

Barman is leading the field after two events with 1984 points.

Hebram is third with a total of 1891 points.

Saina Nehwal, on Monday, became the first Indian woman to win a badminton medal at the Asian Games. 

She went down in straight games to world number one Tai Tzu Ying but finished an impressive campaign with a bronze. 

"I am happy I could get a medal. But the point is to fight with each and every player, it's not about a medal but to win it. This tournament is as good as Olympics, just that we do not have Carolina here," Saina said.

The veteran Indian shuttler also revealed why Tai is among the best in the circuit and what one can do to beat her. 

"It would be 50-50. Sindhu is taller and has more option to counter, she can play shots I can't," Saina added. 

"Her net is quite strong, she has a variety of shots from the net, so you have the chance to play at the back and open up the court, that's why I thought at the start I could play deep back initially. She definitely she cracks, but you need to stick on with her till the end."

India women's team have won the first match of their day against Thailand 3-0. They will face Indonesia later in the day. 

Compound Archers, who have been the face of Indin archery in the ongoing Games after the disappointing performances from the Recurve teams, will be going for gold today.

As many as five athletes and the men's 4x400m relay team will also be in medal rounds.

Indian men's table tennis team, which created history by becoming the first medal-winning table tennis players at the Games, will take on South Korea in the semi-final.

The biggest match of the day will be the women's singles badminton final, in which India's PV Sindhu will be taking on world number one Tai Tzu Ying of Chinese Taipei. 

Match to start after 11:30 am IST

There is a lot of hype around the match and Sindhu herself has conceded that it isn't going to be easy for her. 

There will be pressure on the young Indian shuttler. She has been extremely consistent over the last few years and her performances at the biggest stages of badminton have been impressive. 

However, the gold medal has been elusive. Since losing the Rio Olympic final to Carolina Marin, the Hyderabad shuttler has gone down in four major tournament finals, including this year's Commonwealth Games and World Championships title matches. 

With a tremendous burden of expectations, Sindhu will be going out to achieve what seems to be a tough task. 

Tai has been unstoppable this year, having a 38-3 record in the ongoing season. The Chinese Taipei shuttler made light work of Saina Nehwal in the semi-final even as the Indian shuttler was giving it her best. 

Also, Sindhu has not managed to beat Tai in their last five meetings, with her last win over the numero uno coming in November 2016. 

Hima Das and Dutee Chand have qualified for the women's 200m semi-final. Both of them had won silver medals yesterday. 

Chand, who finished on the podium in the 100m event, topped her heat to earn a direct final berth. Meanwhile, Das, who took the silver in 400m, qualified with the seventh-fastest timing in the heats.
