PV Sindhu will now have to settle for a possible bronze medal after losing 18-21, 12-21 to China's top-ranked shuttler Tai Tzu-Ying.

After a spirited first set, Sindhu appeared a bit complacent in the second set as Tai came from behind (4-3) to win 12-21 in a match that lasted 40 minutes.

Tai Tzu-Ying is currently in the driver's seat of the semi-final against PV Sindhu, leading with a scoreline of 10-17 in her favour.

Is it the end of the road for India's Sindhu?

The second set began evenly poised, but now the semi-final seems to be slipping away from the hands of PV Sindhu.

The ace shuttler, who held the lead at 4-3, is now staring at a score of 5-9 in Tai Tzu-Ying's favour.

Tai Tzu-Ying has held her nerve to regain the lead from India's PV Sindhu. The top-ranked shuttler is leaving no breathing space for her opponent and now takes the first set 21-18.

Will Sindhu strike back?

World no. 1 Tai Tzu-Ying strikes back to draw the scores 11-11 in the first set. While PV Sindhu was enjoying the lead at 11-8, the 27-year-old won three points in a row to keep the first game alive.

A crunch contest indeed.

After losing the first two points, PV Sindhu has fought back to maintain the lead in the first game.

Score: 11-9

A dejected Pooja Rani exits Tokyo 2020 after losing her quarter-final against China's Li Qian 5-0.

Rani's straight jab in the opening round proved to be her only offensive move as she struggled to defend or reply to Qian's proactive moves.

This ends India's boxing challenge at the Summer Games.

India's Pooja Rani certainly on the back foot after losing the second round with a 5-0 scoreline.

The Indian boxer couldn't contain the flurry of punches from her Chinese opponent.

Its do or die for the medal hopeful!

China's Li Qian wins the first round with a unanimous 5-0 score in her favour.

Pooja Rani appears a bit shaky at the moment.
