04.00 PM: Join us tomorrow at 5:30 PM, when Indian shooters Manu Bhaker and Rahi Sarnobat aim at some redemption after a disappointing outing for the contingent. The duo takes part in the 25m air pistol event.

03.38 PM: And that marks the end of India's day 5 at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. While we continue to wait to add to Mirabai Chanu's silver medal in the tally, there have been steady progressions in the road to achieving the same.

PV Sindhu proceeded to pre-quarters in badminton singles; as did Deepika Kumari in archery - and both remain India's strongest contenders for a podium finish at the Tokyo Games.

The Indian women's hockey team endured a third consecutive loss in the group stage but remain alive in contention for a place in the quarterfinals. Of course, they need to beat Ireland and South Africa in their remaining two matches.

Middleweight women's boxer Pooja Rani is now only one win away from securing a medal after she defeated Algeria's Ichrak Chaib in an unanimous decision (6-0). She joins Lovlina Borgohain as India's second quarterfinalist in boxing (Borgohain is in the welterweight category).

India, however, faced disappointment in men's archery. Pravin Jadhav did fight valiantly to beat world no.2 Galsan Bazharzhapov before going down to world no.1 Brady Ellison of USA. Tarundeep Rai was also knocked out in similar fashion, but he lost to an opponent ranked way below him at 92nd (Rai is ranked 54th), Itay Shanny of Israel.

03.28 PM: (Badminton) Sai Praneeth loses his final game of Group D against Mark Caljouw in straight games (14-21, 14-21). He finishes the Tokyo Olympics campaign winless.

Praneeth had already been ruled out of contention for a place in the next round when he lost his first match in straight games. However, with this loss, we have the official confirmation: PV Sindhu is now India's only shuttler in the badminton event.

03.10 PM: (Archery) Deepika Kumari wins! She has reached the pre-quarters of the women's individual event! A wonderful fightback from India's sole women's archer. She opened with a disappointing 7 in the first set, made quick recovery with successive 9s and built on the momentum with a strong 28/30 in the second. 

Mucino-Fernandez, who had previously recovered from scoring a disastrous 2/10 against Ukraine's Anastasia Pavlovla, showed great resolve in equalising 4-4 in the fourth set. However, Deepika's experience proved crucial as she held nerve to take down her USA opponent in the decider.

03.07 PM: (Archery) And the US teenager makes a comeback! Deepika's second arrow, which resulted in a disappointing 6, cost her the fourth set and we are onto the decider. 4-4. FYI, Mucino-Fernandez won the decider in the previous round against the World No.36!

03.05 PM: (Archery) And Deepika takes the third set! A perfect-ten in the first arrow set the tone for her comeback in the game. From 0-2 down, Deepika now leads 4-2. 

03.00 PM: (Archery) Deepika Kumari makes an excellent comeback in the second set! Hits two consecutive 10s to win to seal the set 28-25.

02.58 PM: (Archery) Not a good start from Deepika. A poor first arrow of 7 cost her the first set against USA's 18-year-old.

02.57 PM: (Archery) Deepika Kumari returns to the Yumenoshima Final Field to take on Jennifer Mucino-Fernandez in the round-of-32.

02.21 PM: (Archery) Deepika may have won this match fairly easily but the high wind speed will be bothering her a little. She didn't find the consistency to remain in the inner circles for most of the game. Nevertheless, a good start for the Indian.

02.19 PM: (Archery) And Deepika cruises to the round-of-32! And she finally finds the bull's eye. Scores 27 in the third set to win the match 6-0!

02.17 PM: (Archery) The Bhutanese's archer hit two successive 7s which proved costly for her against Deepika. The heavy wind speed is playing a crucial role as well, as Deepika has failed to find the bull's eye so far. Scores 8-9-9 to take the second set. Leads 4-0.

02.14 PM: (Archery) Deepika fails to hit a 10 in the first set but her scores of 8-9-9 were enough to take a 2-0 lead against Bhutan's Karma. 

02.10 PM: (Archery) Deepika Kumari is now beginning her round-of-64 campaign against Karma from Bhutan.

01.27 PM: (Archery) And that's it. Jadhav loses 0-6. A disappointing 8-8-7 from Jadhav in the final set; the conditions were tough with heavy wind across the field, but Ellison finds two 9s which were enough to seal a place in the pre-quarters. 

Atanu Das (men's individual) and Deepika Kumari (women's individual) are the only Indian archers remaining at the Tokyo Olympics.

01.26 PM: (Archery) Ellison takes the second set after Pravin fumbles for the final arrow. He made a strong start with a 10 and a 9 and would've secured a comeback with another 10, but he fumbles in the end and hits a 7. Loses 26-27 in the second set and Ellison now leads 4-0.

01.24 PM: (Archery) An 8 in the second arrow costs Pravin Jadhav, who loses the first set by only one point. Ellison scores 9-10-9 in three arrows as opposed to 9-8-10 by Jadhav. Ellison leads 2-0.

Only two 10s in nine arrows for the ROC archer, which included a seven in the first set. 

12.35 PM: (Archery) Easy win for Pravin! A poorer set for Bazarzhapov as he could only score 24. Pravin remains consistent again with 9-9-10 in three arrows, beating the ROC archer 28-24 to comfortably book a place in the second round!

12.34 PM: (Archery) And Pravin takes the second set too! He was on the backfoot with the Bazarzhapov scores two successive 10s, but ther ROC archer fumbles up in the third, hitting a 7. With a 9-9-10, Pravin now leads 4-0.

On Wednesday, the bottom-placed Indian women's hockey team will aim to bounce back after consecutive defeats, when they take on Great Britain in India's first event on Day 5.

Later, the archers will aim to shrug off the disappointment of elimination from the team events and brace for tougher challenges in the individual competitions. PV Sindhu will have her second-round match after an impressive start on Sunday. Here's all you can expect from the Indian contingent on Wednesday, July 28.
