Asian Games 2018, Day 5: India kabaddi men's team stunned, 15-year-old Shardul shoots silver

Hello and welcome to the live coverage of Day 5 action of Asian Games 2018 from Jakarta and Palembang.

Ankita Raina and Rohan Bopanna have lost their mixed doubles quarter-final Indonesia's Rungkat and Sutjiadi 6-4, 1-6, 10-6.

It was a mixed day for the Indian contingent at the Games. 

Shardul Vihan was the biggest story of the day as the 15-year-old won the silver in men's double trap event. Here's more on the teenage shooter. 

Ankita Raina finished with a bronze after coming up with a stiff fight in the women's singles semi-final against Chinese top seed Zhang Shuai. 

Meanwhile, the biggest shock of the day came in the afternoon session when the Indian men's kabaddi team lost their semi-final to Iran. Notably, the Asian giants have failed to win a gold for the first time in 28 years. 

India's Deepika Pallikal reached the quarter-final of women's singles squash after beating Siti Rohmah of Indonesia 3-0. 

She joins Saurav Ghosal and Harinder Singh Sandhu in the last-eight round of singles squash at the Games. 

Rohan Bopanna and Ankita Raina have lost the first set of mixed doubles quarter-final to Rungkat and Sutjiadi. Can the Indian duo make a comeback and assure themselves a second Asian Games medal?

Earlier in the day, Bopanna reached the men's doubles final with Divij Sharan while Raina finished the women's singles campaign with a bronze. 

India's Srihari Nataraj, the 17-year-old, finishes an impressive sixth in the final.

The Bengaluru teenager clocked 2:02.83s, 8.84s slower than gold medalist Xu Jiayu of China.

Update: Former hockey captain Viren Rasquinha says India were a bit overconfident today. 

Nonetheless, what a defensive show by the Iranians. They should have taken note of India's defeat to South Korea in the group stages. 

India raiders were not at their best today and Iran made good use of the struggles. 

What a result this is for the sport of kabaddi. There will be a new Asian champion!

It's a huge upset! The Indian men's kabaddi team have been beaten by Iran 27-18 in the semi-final. 

Ajay Thakur's men were tied at 9-9 at the half-time but ordinary raiding and excellent defensive display from Iran meant India lose the semi-final. 

World champions India had never failed to win the gold since kabaddi was introduced in the Games in 1990. 

Thakur was injured in the 30th minute after which Iran were on fire! This is a huge result for the Iranians. 

Iran will now take on Korea in the gold medal match. Meanwhile, India and Pakistan, who lost to Korea, will have to settle for bronze medals. 

Captain Ajay Thakur has gone out injured. India are trailing Iran 12-16 with just 10 minutes to go. 

The two teams were tied at 9-9 at the end of the first half. Iran have been brilliant with their defence. 

World champions India have won the gold seven times at the Asian Games. Will it be different this time? 

India's Virdhawal Khade finishes last in the eight-man 50m butterfly final with a timing of 24.48s, 0.87s slower than gold medalist and Olympic champion Joseph Schooling of Singapore. 

Prajnesh Gunneswaran has done it. He holds on to beat Kwon Soonwoo of South Korea 6-7(2), 6-4, 7-6(8) in a match that extended to 235 minutes.

Gunneswaran is assured of at least a bronze now.

Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Ashwini Ponnappa have lost their mixed doubles R32 tie to Thailand's Taerattanachai and Puavaranukroh.

The India duo fought hard in the first game, which they lost 25-27 but they were comfortably outplayed in the second 16-21.

What a drama! After the badminton women's singles match involving PV Sindhu, Prajnesh Gunneswaran's men's singles quarter-final against Kwon Soonwoo of South Korea's has gone down the wire. 

After conceding the first set 7-6(2), the southpaw came back to win the second set 6-4. 

He had four match points but Soonwoo saved all four of them to make it 6-6 before weather interrupted the tie. Meanwhile, the Korean also is seemingly injured. 

India women, the defending champions, defeated Chinese Taipei comfortably earlier in the day. 

The men's team, also holders, will face Iran in the semi-final later in the day. 

India's Ajay Singh missed out on a podium finish after finishing fifth in the men's 77kg weightlifting event. 

Meanwhile, Commonwealth Games gold medalist, Satish Sivalingam finished 10th. 

Check out the results of the final below. 

Atanu Das, who had reached the R16 at Rio Olympics, loses quarter-final of Men's Recurve Individual to Indonesia's Agata Salsabilla 7-3. 

All four Indian archers, who had competed today, are out of medal contention now. 

What a performance from the teenage shooter. Shardul Vihan, the 15-year-old, wins silver in men's double trap, a day after Saurabh Chaudhary, a 16-year-old, won the 10m air pistol gold. 

Shooting contingent is producing wonderfully-talented youngsters, kudos to the junior development programmes in the country. 

Vihan was extremely composed even 34-year-old Shin Hyunwoo of South Korea was piling up the pressure. 

In the end, it came down to one point as Vihan finished with 73 while Hyunwoo grabbed the gold with 74 out of 80 shots. 

Update: 15-year-old Shardul Vihan is assured of a medal in the men's double trap event.

Even as elimination round stars, Vihan has held on to the top spot. Korea's Shin Hyunwoo is tied on the top spot as both the shooters have missed only two shots so far. 

Vihan holds on to the top spot of the men's double trap final. He has so far missed only one out of 20 shots. 

Vihan is leading the final after two series. He has not missed a target in the first 10 shots. Solid start for the teenager. 

India's 15-year-old trap shooter Shardul Vihan is in action in the six-man final. 

India's Ajay Kumar is in the top spot in the men's 77kg weightlifting event. With the best lifts of 145kg in snatch and 177kg in the jerk, the 21-year-old has one more lift to go. 

Japan's Takehiro Kasai in the silver medal spot but he has two more lifts in the jerk to come. He successfully lifted 177kg in his first attempt. 

Meanwhile, Commonwealth Games gold medalist Sathish Kumar Sivalingam is currently at the sixth spot with a total of 314kg. Since he has completed all his attempts, he is out of medal contention. 

India's Prajnesh Gunneswaran has lost the first set of his men's singles quarter-final to Kwon Soonwoo of South Korea 7-6(2).

The powerful southpaw was leading comfortably but allowed Soonwoo to make a comeback.

With Ramkumar Ramanathan bowing out, Prajnesh is the only Indian remaining in the men's singles fray.

Unlike compatriot PV Sindhu, Saina Nehwal doesn't break a sweat in her first-round match. 

She has demolished unseeded Aghaeihajiagha Soraya of Iran 21-7, 21-9 in just 26 minutes. 

Meanwhile, Rutaparna Panda and Arathi Sara Sunil have lost their women's doubles Round of 32 match to Thailand pairing of Chaladchalam and Muenwong.

India women have begun their kabaddi semi-final against Chinese Taipei on a positive note. 

Meanwhile, the men's team are set to face a tricky encounter against heavyweights Iran. Notably, India had lost to South Korea in the group stage of the ongoing Games and any such slip-up would prove to be costly as a lot is expected of the defending champions. 

It was meant to be an easy outing for PV Sindhu but the Indian shuttler made a meal out it. 

The world number three was pushed to her limits in the women's singles first round by unseeded Vu Trang of Vietnam. 

Sindhu, who was struggling to get used to the drift at the GBK Istora in Jakarta. 

Check out how close Sindhu was to being eliminated in the first round. 

PV Sindhu is making a lot of unforced errors. She has been taken to the decider by lower-ranked Vu Thi Thrang of Vietnam in her first-round women's singles match. 

She needed just 11 minutes to win the first game 21-10 but was beaten 12-21 in the second game.

VU is continuing to stretch Sindhu and the Indian shuttler is looking a bit concerned at the moment. It's 7-7 in the decider. 

Meanwhile, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty ease into Round of 16 after beating a Hong Kong pair of Chung and Tam in straight games. 

Ankita Raina loses women's singles semi-final to China's Zhang Shuai in straight sets. She finishes with a bronze. 

It was a commendable effort from the 25-year-old Indian player against top seed Shuai, who was exhausted at the end of the 131-minute encounter. 

Deserved medal for Raina, who has been on the rise in the women's singles circuit. She has also won the first medal for India in the women's singles category at the Games since Sania Mirza's bronze medal finish in 2010. 

Rohan Bopanna and Divij Sharan qualify for men's doubles gold medal match!
