Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: So, end of the road in singles/individual campaign for Manika Batra and Tarundeep Rai. Don't worry though, you will most probably see an Indian win yet with HS Prannoy set to take court in men's singles badminton.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: Tarundeep shoots 9, 10, 10, Hall goes 10, 10, 9. A point each in that set for the two archers and that is enough for Hall to get to six points and thus win the match.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: Almost exactly the same sequence of shots as in the first set. Except that Hall gets a 10 with his last arrow instead of nine and that puts him within a set win of going through to the next round.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: All three of Tarundeep's shots are better than Halls! He shoots 9, 10 and nine, Hall goes 8, 9, 8. Tarundeep draws level.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: Two nines and a 10 from Hall but Tarundeep shoots nines all three times. That gives Hall two set points and heads 3-1.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: Rai goes first and shoots 8, as does hall. Tarundeep then shoots 10 and nine after that and so does Hall and so it is all square after the first set.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: Right we quickly move on from that disappointment back to the Esplanade where Tarundeep Rai is facing Great Britain's Tom Hall in men's individual round of 64.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: It was always going to be an uphill struggle and well, Manika was in uncharted territory in more ways than one. She loses 6-11, 9-11, 14-12, 8-11, 6-11 and is out of women's singles.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: Manika trails 1-5 in Game 6. It will take a real miracle for her to get back in this now. Hirano is a runaway train.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: Hirano in complete control but make no mistake, Manika has done pretty well to keep the Japanese from running away with it. She now has to fight to stay in this match.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: Manika comes back to level things up after being 6-2 down. Hirano clearly more comfortable dictating terms but Manika is not letting her go away that easy at all.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: Manika has never won more than a game against Hirano in all their matches against each other. Unlike what happened in the last three games, it is Hirano who has taken an early lead here.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: Incredible from the Indian! That should do a world of good for Manika's confidence. Hirano kept biting back, she had taken game point, Manika saves it, and then Hirano saves a couple of game points. Manika finally gets over the line and now trails 1-2.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: Hirano takes a towel break after drawing level. Manika looking quite beaten every time she concedes a point and yet, she has stayed right with her Japanese opponent.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: Manika lets out a frustrated sigh and looks at Constantini after Hirano comes to within two points of her. Once again, a good lead eaten away by the Japanese. Constantini calls for a time out, asks Manika to play more freely.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: Manika has raced to a five-point lead, much of it once again due to unforced errors from Hirano. Whatever Massimo Constantini told the Indian at the break seems to be working.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: Manika races away to an early lead once again. A few errors from Hirano have helped.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: Frustration for Manika. She walks off the table in a huff, that would be a hard one to take.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: Well, the Tokyo 2020 silver medallist finally succeeds in her endeavours to dictate rallies. Manika forced into a number of unforced errors and Hirano has reeled away six points on the trot.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: Great response here from Manika. Hirano trying to impose herself but Manika's power is helping her here.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: Don't be fooled by the scoreline, Hirano is still dictating the rallies but unforced errors have allowed Manika to take a three-point lead early in the second game.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: Anush Agarwalla, the only Indian representative in dressage, has finished ninth in his group and is out. He scored 66.444 with his partner Sir Caramello Old.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: Manika burries a backhand into the net and that leads to Mirano taking a two-point lead late in Game 1.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: Hirano fights back to 3-3, Manika then gets one point ahead, Hirano takes one back and repeat. Neck and neck to start with between these two.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: Hirano takes the first point but then makes a couple of unforced errors and so Manika takes a two point lead.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: All right, the two athletes are here and the arena is absolutely packed. Lots of Indian and Japenese fans there. The players check each other's equipment and now they are doing their forehand warmups. Manika Batra is the 18th seed, Miu Hirano is eighth

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 5 Live Updates: Deepika can only get three nines. Roeffen responds with 10, 10, 9. Her set and she levels it up.
