Coming to the fourth endeavour, Neeraj by and by was not satisfied with his endeavour as he committed a foul purposefully while then again, Nadeem concocted a somewhat feeble endeavour of 79.40m.
The fifth endeavour was especially extreme for Neeraj as he had the option to send off a strong toss yet without a second to spare, he lost equilibrium and his foot went too far. The toss finished in a foul as Neeraj was noticeably angry with his work. Nadeem had a fair appearance as he thought of an 84.87m exertion.
