10:04 AM: (Women's Hockey) Despite Gurjit's heroics, goalkeeper Savita Punia is certainly the hero of the match as she kept on thwarting every Australian attack with her big saves. She made nine saves in total, seven of them from the penalty corner.

10:01 AM: (Women's Hockey) FULL TIME! INDIA 1-0 AUSTRALIA What an amazing moment for Indian hockey! Gurjit Kaur's second quarter goal was all it took for India to reach the semi-finals for the first time!

10:01 AM: (Women's Hockey) India are defending with all their might now. For Aussies, it's now or never.

9:59 AM: (Women's Hockey) Australia have increased their intensity through penalty corners with three back-to-back PCs but Savita makes herself big in front of the goal to save them all. Just 2 minutes left on the clock, PHEW! 

9:58 AM: (Shooting) India's shooting medal hopes are fast diminishing with Aishwary dropping further down to 20th place. So far 95 and 96 in the standing round for him.

9:54 AM: (Women's Hockey) Last four minutes have hardly seen any opening for the Australians, India are maintaining numbers in defence and cluttering the box. Less than four minutes left now.

9:39 AM: (Women's Hockey) The third quarter ends with India still hanging on with the slender 1-0 lead. 

9:28 AM: (Shooting) The prone round must have dented Aishwary's confidence as he is now 10 points of the lead compared to just a solitary point at the end of the Kneeling round.

9:26 AM: (Shooting) Sanjeev Rajput finally completes his Prone round with a total of 393 out of possible 400 (40 rounds) and sits 23rd with a total of 780 out of 800. Aishwary is 16th with 788.

9:07 AM: (Women's hockey): WOAH! That was close as Salima Tete misses a big chance. Penetrating into Australian defensive third, Salima's attempt just flew over the crossbar.

9:06 AM: (Shooting) Aishwary is finding it hard to maintain consistency now as he slipped to 11t spot at the end of Prone Round. The 40 shots in the 4 series round saw him pick 391 out of a possible 400. That's six points less than what he picked in Kneeling round. He did started well with 98 and 99 in first two series but then dipped with 97s in the last two.

9:02 AM: What a day for Gurjit to score. The dragflick specialist has been facing criticism for not converting the penalty corners and she finally delivered against the biggest of opponents in Australia. It took 28 PC for India to score one; let's hope a new streak doesn't begin.

8:59 AM: (Women's hockey) GOAL! Gurjit Kaur converts the penalty corner to give India 1-0 lead!
