Mairaj Ahmad Khan, Angad Bajwa Shooting LIVE scores: India at Olympics men's skeet Live score, updates & commentary

Well then, that's a wrap on Day One of the Qualifiers in Shortgun Skeet Shooting. Eric Delaunay (France) and Vincent Hancock (US) are at the top of the table after the first three rounds with a perfect score of 75/75.

India has two contenders in the discipline. Angad Bajwa is in the 11th position and Mairaj Khan is in the 25th position. The prospect of Khan entering the finals looks bleak at the moment. But Bajwa has a real chance, having missed just two hits in the three rounds.

There will be two more rounds tomorrow, which means each shooter will have to hit 50 targets more. The top six athletes will qualify for the final round that will be held tomorrow evening. Tune in at 06:30 a.m. right here to check if Angad Bajwa makes it through to the finals. It's goodbye from Team Sportskeeda for now!

With the end of Round 3, we dive into another break. We will be back with Round 4 in a while. Do check back!

Two players are tied at the top after Round 3

There are five shooters behind them with 74/75 and nine more shooters with 73/75. Angad Bajwa is in that latter category. He needs to pin his hopes on one of the top seven shooters missing and him getting a perfect 50/50 in the next two rounds to have any hope of qualifying.

That's the end of Round 3. Eric Danualay completes another perfect round and is tied at the top with Vincent Hancock with 75/75.

The French & American player will look to continue their streak and stay at the top. Well, at the end of Round 3, Indian players Angad Vir Singh Bajwa & Mairaj Ahmad Khan are placed 11th and 25th, respectively.

Six stations are completed and Delaunay has hit all the targets. 67/67 and he stays at the top with Hancock.

Al Rashidi misses! He spirals down to 8th rank after missing his first shot of the day from Station 5. 63/64!

The Kuwait player misses and with that, we have only two players who stand a chance to break to Olympic & World record.

The first five stations are completed by Eric Delaunay. His record continues to be unblemished. 64/64 hits!

There are three more shooters in this set, who have missed just a single shot so far and are potential candidates for a position in the finals - Azmy Mehelba (Egypt), Dimitris Konstantinou (Greece) and Tammaro Cassandro (Italy). All three have hit their first six targets in Round 3.

Al Rashidi and Delaunay have hit bull's-eye from the first two stations. Their perfect streaks continue. Both the athletes are at 56/56.

Abdullah Al Rashidi and Eric Delaunay are the two major names to look out for in this set. Both of them had a perfect record in the first two rounds.

The first set of 18 athletes has completed Round 3. It will be the turn of the remaining 12 shooters to have a go.

Three out of three perfect rounds for Vincent Hancock. 75/75 against his name and he sits at the top of the ladder.

The American shooter is the only one to have hit all shots on target thus far. With two more rounds to go, Hancock will be eyeing a clean sweep in both of them.

That's the end of Round 3 for Mairaj Khan. He missed three shots in Round 3 in addition to the one in Round 2. He finishes at 25th position with 71/75 hits.

Jacub Tomecek and Eetu Kallioinen gain ground in the top six. They have just one miss so far and look good to have their positions in tact at the end of this round.

But his fellow Indian has had another miss now. Khan fails to hit the second target from Station 8. He slips to 25th position. The chances of a recovery from here look really bleak.

Angad Bajwa ends the round without any further mishap. 73/75 hits for him and he is placed at the 12th position.

Eric Watndal of Norway is consolidating his position in the top four. He has missed only one shot so far. Just the final station of Round 3 is left and he has a record of 72/73.

Mairaj Khan misses again! That's three misses for him! 7 stations done in Round 3. Khan has slipped to 20th position with 66/69 hits.

With that miss, Khan falls down in the rankings and the chances of him making it to the finals are gradually decreasing. He's moving backwards and missing a shot or two in the coming rounds could see him stay behind in the race.

Angad Bajwa has completed 8 out of 9 stations in Round 3. He has just two more targets to go in this round and has a record of 22/23 now. That makes it 71/73 overall for him.

Vincent Hancock of the USA is the only shooter who has a perfect record in this Qualification Round now. Remember, the Qualifying Round World Record is 125/125 and Olympic Record is 123/125. It might be a bit early, but can he beat the OR or equal the WR?

Hancock looks in fine touch and is on his way to break records. He's one of the shooters to watch out for in the coming days.

Station 5 of Round 3 is proving to be costly for a lot of shooters here. It is the turn of Eetu Kallioinen to slip up. He spirals down from the top of the table to 7th rank.

Oh, no! Mairaj Khan misses now! Suddenly things have started going downhill for the Indian duo. He misses the third target from Station 5! 62/64 for Khan, slipping down to 17th position.

First, Angad and now, Mairaj! What's happening with the Indian shooters?

Paul Adams slips up at the top of the ladder. He misses the first shot at Station 4. That's a fall to 9th place for Adams.

Adams was moving ahead without a miss thus far but fails to continue his streak. One miss can push players way far down in the rankings.

Angad Bajwa misses! This could be costly for him and India! Bajwa could not nail the second target from Station 5. He slips to 15th position now with 62/64 hits.

The Indian shooter misses his second shot. He's in deep trouble as he could end up on the losing side.

Mairaj Khan and Angad Bajwa hit both the targets from Station 4. They are at 60/61 now.

Nine straight hits for Paul Adams, Vincent Hancock and Eetu Kallioinen. That makes it 59/59 for them.

Station 3 done for Mairaj Khan. He has 9 straight hits in Round 3. Khan rises to 9th place with 58/59 hits.

9 straight hits for Bajwa. He moves to sixth place with 58/59 hits. That's three stations done for Angad Bajwa.

Adams Paul, Vincent Hancock and Eetu Kallioinen, who were at the top of the table after Round 2, have hit their first three shots perfectly, making it 53/53.

Looks like Adams Paul, Vincent Hancock and Eetu Kallioinen are trying to make sure they steal a place for themselves in the final event and leave others to fight for the remaining three places.

18 athletes will shoot first and the remaining 12 will follow once they finish, just like the previous rounds.

Mairaj Khan has hit all three targets from the first station in Round 3. He has 52 hits out of 53 now. Khan started the third round with a bang. The Indian shooter will want to move up the rankings.

Angad Bajwa has started off with a perfect set of six. He hasn't missed any from the first two stations. 55/56.

Bajwa is moving ahead steadily and will not want to miss any of his upcoming shots. With six positions at stake, players will have to give it their all to make it to the final event.

We are back!! The third round is underway!
