Srikanth LEADS!
For a change, Srikanth leads 11-10, as we head into the break. But, now Gemke will move to the better side of the court as we go into the mandatory change of sides in the decider. Will this one-point advantage be enough for Srikanth?

Srikanth surrenders Game 2

Gemke extends his lead
Much like the first game, errors keep on increasing from Srikanth post the break. He trials 10-16, the exact point from which he bounced back.
10-11
Srikanth once again goes into the mid-game break trailing. Only one-point difference this time though. Can the Indian wrap it up in this game, or will he be forced into a decider?
