Seventh match point for India after the Taipei pair err in trying to push the shuttle deep. MATCH! India win! Shetty is on the floor in celebration and that is a very, very nervous win. They start Group A with a 21-16, 16-21, 27-25 victory

Zhihui is too good at the moment. She completes a 116kg lift. Mirabai Chanu to attempt 117. She’s already assured of silver, so it’s all about setting an Olympic record. Oh, shecan’t do it, but still, MIRABAI CHANU HAS WON OLYMPIC SILVER!
