Indian shooters Abhinav Bindra and Gangan Narang fired in unison and shot a Games record 1193 in men's 10m air rifle event to give the country its first gold medal in the 19th Common Wealth games on Tuesday. The pair together scored 1193 to break their own record, which they had set four years ago in Melbourne, by notching up 1189.

In another event, Sanjay Kumar entered into the final of Greco-Roman 74kg style of wrestling. Anil Kumar qualified for the finals of the Greco-Roman 96kg style of wrestling.
