Tokyo Paralympics - Day 12, 5th September - Krishna Nagar wins GOLD - LIVE updates, scores, blog, medal

Still at a deadlock

Neither of the players have managed to create any momentum, and we still have a deadlock at 13-13.

India LEADS

Pramod Bhagat and Palak Kohli have a slender 11-10 lead at the mid-game break. Nothing much to separate both the pairs so far in the match. It is very tight.

Equalised!

The pair from Japan have caught up with India at 10-10. Who will have the edge during the mid-game break?

The Japanese shuttlers trying to make a comeback

Pramod Bhagat and Palak Kohli had raced to a 9-5 lead, but the Japense are now hitting back. 10-8 lead for India. 

Good start for India

Pramod Bhagat and Palak Kohli have opened up a two-point lead at 5-3. This has been a decent start for the Indians.

Pramod-Palak get the first point

We are underway for the bronze medal at the Yoyogi National Stadium and its the Indians who get the first point of the match!

India's final match in Tokyo up next

Up next is the Mixed SL3-SU5 badminton bronze medal match of Pramod Bhagat and Palak Kohli. They will be up against the home favourites Daisuke Fujihara and Akiko Sugino.

This will be India's final event in Tokyo. Can the duo help India end their campaign on a high?

Excuse us for the tears of joy!
