An aggressive scream by Sindhu!
Sindhu is eager to take charge and is placing her shots more carefully now and has stepped up the game - she leads 18-15

The Japanese is putting pressure here
PV Sindhu is walking on risky grounds as she just has a 2-point lead at 16-14. Ohori has the serve.

Breaks the momentum!
That break has broken Sindhu's momentum. A 22-shot rally which the Japanese bags with a wonderful drop. 14-11 lead for Sindhu.

7-straight points!
7 points in a row for PV Sindhu and Ohori seems to have been completely demoralised. The Japanese requests a break to tape her knee. Sindhu leads 14-10.

3-point lead
Sindhu is tightening the screws now. A 3-point lead at 13-10 for the Indian.

Advantage, Sindhu!
Make that 4 in a row and Sindhu leads 11-10 at the mid-game break. This should be more than enough for her to force a decider, I believe.

3 straight points!
3 points in a row for Sindhu and the scores are levelled at 10-10.

Close game this, so far
This is once again a close start to the game. Sindhu trails 7-8. Who will lead at the break?

Wonderful half smash!
The longest rally of the match, and Sindhu pockets it with a cross-court half smash. 5-6.

Sindhu challenges
That was called in at the backline and Sindhu decides to challenge. That was close, but has landed in. Sindhu loses a challenge now. She trails 4-6 in the second game.
