Archery, Men's Recurve Team Final: INDIA WINS SILVER
India to shoot first in the third set, since they are trailing.
A 10 from Neeraj and India are off to a good start. A 9, just outside the ten ring, from Yashdeep. 9 from Dhiraj takes India's total after three arrows to 28.
10-9-9 from South Korea as well for 28 points.
A poor arrow for Neeraj, who holds for a long time before shooting. Only 7 for him and this could be the end of the road for India in this match.
Yashdeep shoots a 9 and the onus is now on Neeraj. He shoots a bulls eye. India's total reaches 54.
South Korea needs a 27 or more to win this gold medal!
10-9-9 from South Korea. There you have it.
South Korea defend their title. India retain their SILVER!
IND 1-5 KOR
Archery, Men's Recurve Team Final: India loses Set 2
A perfect 10-10-10 for 30 points by South Korea. The Indians under pressure now.
A 9 for Neeraj to start. Yashdeep continues to be off with an 8. Dhiraj (in pic) also can only manage an 8. They trail 25-30 in the set.
A 9-10-8 from South Korea takes their total to 57.
Even a perfect 30 from the Indians won't be enough to win this.
Neeraj shoots an 8 to start India's second rotation. Yashdeep betters to a 9 and Dhiraj stays in 8.
A poor set for India, who concede 50-57 and now trail in the match.
If Korea wins the next set, it'll be all over for the Indians!
