But Tushar's 7 gives Korea a huge chance to close this. A 10 to start for Kim, 10 for Lee and Oh's last shot goes to 8. India hand in there..... only just.

  Atanu: 9. Tushar: 9. Dhiraj: 10. India have 55 on the board. Korea need just 28 to win. The first one is a 9. The second is a 9. Oh needs a 10 to win it for them and he gets it. Korea have won GOLD! India will have to settle with silver

So India still have a chance. A 10 for Atanu again! He has been superb. Tushar needs to up his game here. He does with a 10. And Dhiraj nails a 10. Perfect 30 for India to end. Korea now need 30 to win. They can't as the first shot is 9. The next is 10. Oh finishes it with 10. It's 57 all so this set is tied. 1 point each for India and Korea but the latter lead 3-1.
