Qatar set a new Asian Record but an excellent run from India gives them SILVER.

And it is all over, QATAR take GOLD. India walk away with SILVER and Japan take Bronze.

Qatar are running away with the GOLD but India are in contention for at least silver going into the final leg.

So far so good for Qatar and they have already built a massive lead. And at the end of the second changeover, India are second.

At the end of the first lap, Qatar's Samba leads the way, Sri Lanka are second, India and Japan are tussling for third spot.

And we are off.

And we are about to go get underway in the Men's 4x400m relay. Samba goes first for Qatar, Puthanpurakkal will go first for India and Julian Walsh will be first for Japan and Bahrain's Musa Isah will go first for them. Those four are the contenders for the three medals.

And they do it by a country mile!

The move to start with Hima Das paid off for India as the lead that was given her was what helped India towards the end. And with that India win their seventh GOLD in Athletics of the Asian Games 2018.

ANOTHER GOLD FOR INDIA IN ATHLETICS. This has been simply sensational so far.
