Uber Cup LIVE - India v/s Japan Quarterfinal - Live Blog, Updates, Results, Score

4-point lead

Sayaka Takahashi ups the ante and races to a 4-point lead at 7-4. 

Aditi fights back!

Aditi Bhatt fights back and trails 3-4 now. She has to stay competitive at the start if she is to pull off something today.

Early lead for Sayaka

The match starts and Sayaka races to a 2-0 lead in no time with wonderfully placed winners on either side of the court.

This is going to be tough for Aditi!

Aditi has played just 3 singles matches at the senior level, while Sayaka Takahashi has won more than 200 matches in her career.

The writing seems to be pretty much on the wall for India, but can Aditi Bhatt be the saviour?

Pressure on INDIA!

The pressure is firmly on India and the young Aditi Bhatt.

The 17-year-old will take to the court next in women's singles and she will be up against Sayaka Takahashi - the World number 15. This will be a must-win match for India if they are to keep the quarterfinals alive!

Japan wins 21-8, 21-10

That's that. Japan had 11 Match points, India saved 1 before Yuki and Mayu finish off the match.

Japan takes 2-0 lead!

19-9

This is not going to last any longer. Yuki-Mayu lead 19-9 and Japan look set for a 2-0 lead in the tie.

What fighters!

Crasto could have surely decided not to continue. There is nothing left in this match anyway, but she decided to fight on!

We have a break!

Tanisha Crasto seems to be struggling. The pairs have gone out of the court.

Some magic spray for Crasto's right ankle and we are good to go. The players are back on!

Long rally, Japan wins again!

This is how it has been in this match. Yet another long rally, and Japan takes the point after all the hard work from the Indians.

More worry for India as Tanisha Crasto goes down on the court.
