WHAT A DAY FOR INDIAN HOCKEY!!!! Team India has reached the semi-finals of Tokyo 2020. This is India’s first victory over Great Britain at the Olympics for the first time since 1972. The Indian team didn’t win a single penalty corner in the match.

They had to dig deep for the majority of the second half, but ultimately gets the job done. P.R. Sreejesh with a memorable performance for India. The goals for India were scored by Dilpreet Singh, Gurjant Singh and Hardik Singh. Elation for India. All smiles in the Indian dressing room now. Tears of joy in the eyes of the players and the coaches. India will now face Belgium in the semifinals.

Full Time: India 3-1 Great Britain

Great Britain takes a video referral, which is rejected. However, it is unlikely that they will go on to score two goals in the last minute.

6:56 PM Hockey Men’s Quarter final: Only 1.20 minutes remaining. Meanwhile, Great Britain has taken off their goalkeeper Ollie Payne and India go and strike the post shortly.

Score: India 3-1 Great Britain

6:53 PM Hockey Men’s Quarter final: GOALLLLLLLL!! Hardik Singh scores. That goal should see India through to the semi-finals. A swift move to the pitch saw Hardik with the shot. His first shot was blocked but he made no mistake with his second attempt.

Score: India 3-1 Great Britain

All India needs to do now is to see out this game. The pressure from Great Britain has been relentless in this last quarter.

6:51 PM Hockey Men’s Quarter final: Only 5 minutes remaining. India will have to play next 3.5 minutes with 10 men.

P.R. Sreejesh has been immense today. He goes down and is taking a breather now. India needs to keep their calm for the last five minutes.

Score: India 2-1 Great Britain

6:48 PM Hockey Men’s Quarter final: A yellow card is shown to Manpreet Singh. Poor refereeing. This could be a game-changing decision.

The British team is piling on the pressure here. Can the Indian team hold on? However, they should also try and move higher up the pitch.

6:44 PM Hockey Men’s Quarter final: Seventh Penalty corner for GB. P.R. Sreejesh with another save. What would Team India do without him in goal? What a player!

Score: India 2-1 Great Britain

6:40 PM Hockey Men’s Quarter final: Sixth penalty corner for GB. Great Britain wastes another penalty corner. Amit Rohidas plays his role as a first rusher and Sreejesh as usual with a crucial save.

Score: India 2-1 Great Britain

This will be a real test of the Indian team’s nerves. There have been talks of India’s improved mental strength under Graham Reid. All that will be put to test here.

Score: India 2-1 Great Britain

Score: India 2-1 Great Britain

6:34 PM Hockey Men’s Quarter final: Another penalty corner for Great Britain. India defended well but GB reviewed it and get one more Penalty corner. The Britishers are ending the third quarter with a flurry of penalty corners. India needs to be very cautious.

Score: India 2-0 Great Britain

6:31 PM Hockey Men’s Quarter final: Penalty corner for Great Britain.

Liam Ansell and Jack Waller with a one-two in the edge of the circle. They need to do something more to break down this Indian defence. Shortly afterwards, P.R. Sreejesh makes a close range save. But the British team couldn’t take advantage of the penalty corner. Surender Kumar with some crucial defending.

Score: India 2-0 Great Britain

6:23 PM Athletics Men's 100M Final: A false start and United States' runner Zharnel Hughes is disqualified. A very unfortunate turn of events for the American.

6:20 PM Hockey Men’s Quarter final:Mandeep Singh with an attack in the first minute of the second half. But, to no avail. Rupinder Pal Singh has been shown a green card after that. They need to keep their discipline intact.

Score: India 2-0 Great Britain

6:17 PM Hockey Men’s Quarter final: The second half begins at the Oi Hockey Stadium. With the match being played under the lights, it will be beneficial because of the high humidity in Tokyo. We’re expecting similar kind of intensity in the remaining two quarters.

Score: India 2-0 Great Britain

The Indian team has one foot in the semi-finals now. They are now edging ever closer to ending the medal drought. Read our analysis of why the Indian men’s hockey team can end the drought in Tokyo. Read here.

The first half ends. India didn’t win any penalty corner in this match so far. Both the Indian goals have come because of the Britishers’ sloppy defence. A high intensity clash so far. More of the same please. HT: IND 2-0 GBR

6:07 PM Hockey Men’s Quarter final: India is looking to unsettle the British defence with aerial balls up the pitch occasionally. The main focus is to just see out this half now.

Score: Sindhu 21-13 14-11 He Bingjiao

5:46 PM Hockey Men’s Quarter final: The British team has had more possession so far, but India wouldn’t mind that. The Indians have defended very well so far. However, India has lost their referral due to some poor judgement by Gurjant Singh.

5:28 PM Hockey Men's Quarter final: National anthem over as match set to start.

5:25 PM Badminton Women’s Bronze Medal Match: Sindhu takes the first game in this crucial Bronze medal match.

It was all Sindhu from start to finish. The Indian shuttler dictated terms largely through the first game and apart from a mini comeback from Bingjiao, she did not have that much impact on the game.

Score: Sindhu 21-13 He Bingjiao

5:23 PM Badminton Women’s Bronze Medal Match: Starting from her court coverage to her netplay it has been all Sindhu in the first game. Bingjiao has shown glimpses of her brilliance but she really needs to up the ante to have any chance of turning this set around.

Score: Sindhu 18-12 He Bingjiao

5:20 PM Badminton Women’s Bronze Medal Match: Sindhu is asking all the questions and the Chinese shuttler has failed to come up with the answers and the first set is almost going out of Binjiao's reach.

Two big events set to start, are you guys feeling nervous just like me? Comment and let us know. You can also tweet to us at @KhelNow with #Tokyo2020KhelNow. We will select the best ones and share here.

4:56 PM Badminton Women's Bronze Medal Match: Sindhu's road to semifinals was pretty tough as she defeated Mia Blichfeldt in the round of 16. She then got the better of Akane Yamaguchi in the quarterfinals before losing out against Tai Tzu-ying.

4:54 PM Hockey: In their most recent tour of Europe in March this year, India had faced off with Great Britain in two games where they drew 1-1 in the first game and beat Great Britain 3-2 in the second. India Skipper Manpreet Singh, however, did not read too much into those results and said, “It was good to play Great Britain in Europe which helped us gain better understanding of how this team has been playing in recent times. But they can be a dark horse at the Olympics, and we really need to play our A Game against them.” 

He further added, “It was pleasing to score three field goals in the match against Japan. We were creating opportunities in the previous matches, but we were not converting, so it was nice to do that on Friday. I think we have been doing well with the PCs. Again, I want to reiterate that we need to do well in all departments to get the better of Great Britain. We have been building our momentum and obviously tomorrow night we need to continue that.” 

4:52 PM Hockey: Taking on Great Britain who have two wins, two draws and a loss from their Pool B encounters, the Indian Men’s Hockey Chief Coach expressed confidence in his team’s ability to get the better of their opponent on Sunday. He said, “To be honest, facing any of the four European teams who have come directly from the Euro Championships was always going to be a difficult Quarter Final game, but I think it really matters on which one you get. But probably Great Britain are the ones we are comfortable with and very confident with. I think if we play the way we know that we can, then definitely victory is possible.” 

4:50 PM Hockey: The Indian men's hockey team is all set to take on Great Britain in the quarter-finals of the Tokyo Olympics.

The Men in Blue began their campaign with a hard fought win over New Zealand. This was followed by a heavy loss to Australia in the next match. However, the Manpreet Singh-led side bounced back to win the following pool matches against Spain, defending champions Argentina and hosts Japan.

The Indian team now has the opportunity to reach the Olympics semi-finals for the first time since 1980. Standing in between India and a semi-final spot is a rather inconsistent Great Britain team. Can Graham Reid's boys write a new chapter in the resurgence of Indian hockey ?

4:49 PM Badminton Bronze Medal Match: After losing the semi-finals against Tai Tzu-ying yesterday, all is not lost for PV Sindhu. She will look to pick herself up in the Bronze medal match against China's He Bingjiao and end her Tokyo Olympics campaign on a high note.

4:42 PM Boxing: Earlier in the day, Indian heavyweight boxer Satish Kumar crashed out of the Tokyo Olympics. He lost his quarterfinal bout 0-5 against World No. 1 Bakhodir Jalolov of Uzbekistan. Satish's performance was commendable as he played despite getting injured in his first Olympic bout.

4:35 PM Golf - Men's Individual: Udayan Mane ends his 2020 Olympics journey at rank 56. Senior pro Anirban Lahiri finished his campaign at T42. Both players lost their positions on the final day with below par performances.

We move on to the Women's event, with all eyes of Aditi Ashok and Diksha Dagar.

4:30 PM Indian shuttler PV Sindhu is all set to play in the bronze medal match on day 10 of the Tokyo Olympics. She is facing He Bingjiao of China for the medal. If she manages to beat the Chinese shuttler, she will be winning the bronze medal in women’s badminton in Tokyo Olympics.

Elsewhere, all eyes will be on the quarterfinals of the men’s hockey between India and Great Britain. India’s medal hopes are rising in the event after Graham Reid’s men displayed some impressive performances in the Pool A fixtures. They come into this game with better form, after collecting 12 points from five games.

On the other hand, Great Britain had a mediocre outing in the Pool B matches. They secured two wins, two draws and a defeat, finishing third with eight points. The winner of this match will play either Belgium or Spain in the semi-final.
