6-point lead
A massive 6-point lead for Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty at the second mid-game break. This could well be decisive, unless Hemmings and Stallwood repeat their first game heroics.

Early lead for India
Satwik-Chirag are bruised. They have come out aggressively and race to a 4-0 lead in the second game.

What's in store now?
Honestly, I did not expect the first game to be so close. Satwik-Chirag were in control for the most part and looked like closing it off should have just been a formality. However, Hemmings-Stallwood fought back really well to save 4 game points.
What does the second game have in store for us? Will the English pair be able to force this into a decider?

23-21
Hemmings and Stallwoood saved 3 game points at 20-17. They saved one more at 21-20, but the Indians manage to come out of top.
Satwik and Chirag finally hold their nerve and take the first game 23-21. THAT WAS CLOSEEEEEE!

EQUALISED!
WHAT A COMEBACKKKK FROM HEMMINGS AND STALLWOOD!
They have won 3 in a row and equalised at 20-20. Satwik-Chirag fail to convert three game points under pressure.

3 GAME POINTS!
Satwik-Chirag lead 20-17 and have three-game points in their pocket. Can they convert?
