Advantage, Lakshya
The longest rally of the match so far, with Christie hitting it long as we go into the mid-game break. Lakshya has been quite clearly the better player so far. The Indian has faced quite a few shots wide on either side of the court and would be itching to sort that out.
11-8 lead for Lakshya Sen.
