Multiple errors from Kidambi Srikanth
Srikanth is now struggling to keep the shuttle in play. Two more shots hit wide and he is down 3-6.
A long rally follows and Srikanth emerges out on top. He had Lanier on the backfoot for most of it and wins it with a brilliant down-the-line smash.
Srikanth trails 4-6.
But prolonging rallies seem to be the way to go for the Indian.
