Kazakhstan shocked higher rated Turkey 3-1 and Uzbekistan hogged the limelight for defeating second seed Ukraine 2.5-1.5. Kazimdzhanov upset Ivanchuk on the top board.

India thrashed Montenegro 3.5-0.5 with Adhiban playing the draw on the bottom board. Negi, Sethuraman and Sasikiran won the top three boards. Sethuraman is on 4/5 having played all his games so far.
