Nishimoto in the lead

The Japenese shuttler has started well and has opened up a 3-1 lead. Good start for him.

Lakshya on court!

Lakshya Sen is out on court number 1. He is up against Japan's Kenta Nishimoto. The Japanese is world number 17, while the Indian is ranked 19th.

This is going to be a mouthwatering contest.

Lakshya Sen, Satwik-Chirag up next

Lakshya Sen will be in action on court number 1 and the men's doubles duo of Satwik-Chirag will be on court number 2 next. It seems as if we will have a clash in matches.

Nope, No surprise

Saurabh Sharma and Anousha Parikh go down 8-21, 18-21 to Malaysia's Tan and Lai. This was always going to be a tough ask for the Indians, but they did put up a decent fight in the second game.

Yet another loss against India's name in this edition of the BWF World Championships.

17-19

Saurabh-Anoushka are still hanging on this by a thread. They trail 17-19. Is there a surprise here?

Anoushka-Saurabh hit back

5 straight points for the Indians and they have reduced the deficit to 15-17.

7-point lead

Okay, this has slipped away quickly. 7 points in a row post the break for the Malaysians and the Indians look down and out. 17-10 lead.

3-point lead

The Malaysians have pressed on the accelerator and Anoushka-Saurabh have fallen behind 10-14.

Advantage, Malaysia

Tan and Lia edge ahead right at the stroke of the mid-game interval. The Indians played out of their skin to keep this close. Can they push this into a decider?
