India challenge again

There was an 'Out, out, out' shout before Satwik decided to leave it. It was called in but has indeed landed out. India keep their challenge and lead 14-11.

India challenges

An Indonesian drop shot called in and Chirag Shetty challenges immediately. But, it has landed in and India lose a challenge. 

Advantage, INDIA!

Satwik-Chirag go into the mid-game interval with an 11-10 lead. Miscommunication from the Indonesians and the Indians would gladly take that. They have been much better than the first game, but the minions have kept up well.

Remember there is a lot more than a Superseries final at stake for the Indians.

What an effort!

Chirag Shetty dives forward full-length to return that but fails. Full marks for the effort, but the Indonesians have equalised at 9-9.

46-shot rally

India were in complete control of that 46-shot rally, but Chirag Shetty hits one into the net. The Indonesians kept defending for most part and they take that point. India leads 8-7.

Service fault!

And it is Chirag Shetty again. You cannot make such mistakes playing against a pair of this quality. India leads 7-4.

5-2

A 42-shot rally and the Indians pocket it via an inch-perfect shot at the backline. They lead 5-2.

Satwik-Chirag LEADS

The second game has started and the Indians have a 3-0 lead. Can they maintain this?

Minions take the first game!

Satwik-Chirag save four-game points, but the lead was just too big for anything miraculous. The Minions take the first game 21-16 in 16 minutes. The Indians have not played very badly but Gideon-Kevin are just way too better than them.

Service fault, Shetty!

Service fault called on Chirag Shetty. Too High. The Indians trail 12-19.
