Incheon: For the second day running, it was shooting that brought India the medals. No, change that to singular, because one bronze in men's 10m air pistol team event was all that India had to show for the second day of the 17th Asian Games.

First day's Golden Man, Jitu Rai's 585, which helped him reach the final, and the efforts of comeback man, Samaresh Jung (580), who missed making the eight-man final by a whisker, and Commonwealth Games silver medallist Prakash Nanjappa (578) enabled India to total 1743, the same as China's score.
