Sushila Devi Likmabam reached close to winning the yellow metal in the Women's 48 kg category in Judo but lost to South Africa in the final. Another Indian Judoka Vijay Yadav won bronze while Harjinder Kaur fetched a lucky bronze medal in the Women's 71 kg category of the Weightlifting event.

India created history in Lawn Bowls as its Women's Fiurs team beat New Zealand in the Semi-Final 16-13 to secure the first ever medal for the country in the sport at the Commonwealth Games level. The happiness stretched to the Table Tennis arena as well as the Indian Men's team beat Nigeria 3-0 to progress to the final of the event where they will face Singapore who beat England in their Semi-Final.
It was a sensational day in Boxing too as all three Indian pugilists in Amit Panghal, Mohd Hussamuddin and Ashish Kumar advanced to the quarterfinal in their respective weight categories.
India had a mixed day in Squash as Joshana Chinappa lost a frustrating quarterfinal against Canada in Women's Singles.

Saurav Ghosal though made no such mistakes and won his Men's Singles Quarterfinal against Scotland 3-1 to march into the semis.
The Indian Hockey team also disappointed after claiming a 3-0 lead, it let England come back in the game and eventually had to settle with 4-4 draw after it conceded three goals in the last quarter and collected two yellow cards too.
