17:44: Great opening, dive gracefully into the water, start with a lift and double somersault. This means one teammate is flipped out of the water by the others, and she does a double somersault on landing.
17:42: South Korea's in bronze position, Japan in silver. China comes out now for their routine
17:39: Hydraulics. Can't think of any other way they can support themselves, bob up and down like that.

16:30: India trying their best to breach the Kazakh defence
16:25: Rani slots home India's third goal

16:19: Meanwhile, the Indians are back to finish the other half of their hockey match with Kazakhstan. India have earned a penalty corner. This one proves goalless. But it leads to another penalty corner.

15:56: Enough fencing, let's see how our hockey team is doing - Rani Rampal scores, India up 1-0 in the first half.
15:54: In fencing, the most common injuries are strained knees and elbows. Right, the sportsmen are too well-protected and the weapon too blunt to cause serious injury
15:52: Japan has a slim lead, 11-10, for the first time in this contest. And he scores again. 12-10
15:47: Interesting sport, extremely quick, channelled reflexes. Sword fighting, a few seconds at a time. Both swordsmen wear suits full of sensors, which record every touch of the opponent's weapon
15:42: Here's something we don't see often - fencing. It's a Japan South Korea semifinal. Ota versus Choi.

15:19 Good attack from Pakistan, the score's eve, 3-3. But Indonesia ups it with an other spike, far back
15:18 That was cheeky from Pakistan. Almost looked unintentional, that drop shot to the centre of the court. Indonesia get the next one with a straight smash
15:17 But the Indonesian front line makes a mistake with a drop, and it lands on their side. Thety don't make the mistake with the next smash
15:14 The decider under way, and Indonesia score first. Pak's block not enough.

14:59 The score's now 22-11. Four points to victory. The Indians have displayed poor blocking though this second set.
14:57 India in real trouble here on the volleyball court. The Japanese have found their momentum and look set for taking the second set as well.
14:52 The squash men's singles semifinal is on, and Saurav Gosal is playing Malaysia's Iskandar. I'll get you the score in a minute
14:46 Japan giving India a creaming in volleyball. In spite of being down five points, they took the first set 25-23 and are leadign the second 13-9

14:38 Right hook, upper cut, 11-2 Vijender. Another right, 12-2. One minute left

14:35 An injury in the ring. Cho claims Vijender elbowed him in the eye. Match is stopped for 20 seconds.
14:34 Vijender scores again, with a vicious right hook. But he's on dangerous ground again. He's punished for clinching, like he was in the CWG. 2 points to Cho.
14:33 The Korean commits a foul, hits below the belt. The umpire penalises him for it, India gets another point.
14:31 Round 2 - Oh, Cho's decided to do it the tough way. Which means Cijender scores again, with a jab, and another with a right.
14:30 Taking some risks now, the Indian, as Cho shows his frustration. Singh connects again. A 3-0 lead in the first round
14:29 And another point. Cho unable to get past Vijender's shell guard.
14:28 Round 1 - As usual, the pugilists sizing each other up, and Vijender breaks the ice first, and some part of Cho's face, by the sound that smack made.
14:27 Vijender Singh employs his fists in a conversation with South Korea's Cho.
14:25 Indian eves taking on Japan in a volleyball match, and doing just fine, by the looks of it. 13-9, the score. But we must look elsewhere now.
14:20 I'm sure you followed that India-Pakistan hockey match. You didn't? Well, you definitely missed some awesome sporting action. You can still catch the report, though. Click >here .
14:14 One sided from start to finish. An accurate right makes it 11-0. The Commonwealth Games bronze medallist beats fellow bronze medallist emphatically.
14:12 Right, I'll stick with settled. Unassuming punches, but all count. Amandeep up 10-0 now. Little over a minute left.
14:11 With a lead of 8, Amandeep enters the third round. His approach seems more cautious. Or maybe it's just more settled
14:08 Round 1 - Amandeep connects three punches. Round 2- 5!
