Not looking good for Sankar
This is not looking good for Sankar Muthusamy at all. He seems to be getting frustrated as well as he trails 10-15 in the second game. Is he still in the contest? Can he still bounce back?

Sankar trails at mid-game interval
The Indian fails to cash in on the momentum he built and trails 9-11 at the mid-game break of the second game. A lot to ponder about for Sankar Muthusamy in this short break.
He still has a shot at winning this, but he needs to get his act together soon.

Sankar fights back
This is wonderful from Sankar Muthusamy. He refuses to be bogged down and fights back to equalise at 5-5. Can he maintain this momentum to open up a lead?

Terrible start for Sankar
Not the kind of start you want especially after losing the first game. Sankar is down 0-4 within the blink of an eye in the second game. Pressure mounting on the youngster now.

Sankar surrenders Game 1
Sankar Muthusamy surrenders the first game 14-21 in just 18 minutes. The Indian did show stomach for fight, but the Chinese Taipei shuttler was just simply superior.
Right then, can Sankar force this into a decider?

Not going Sankar's way
That's six consecutive points for Lin as Sankar continues to err. He trails 13-19 now. How quickly has this turned around after the Indian equalised?

Consecutive points for Lin
A brilliant bounce back this from the Chinese Taipei shuttler as he wins three points back to back to restore his 3-point lead. Sankar trails 13-16.

Sankar equalises
A slight shift in momentum post the break, as Sankar seems to be growing in confidence. The Indian equalises at 13-13.

8-11
Not the best of starts for Sankar and he knows it. Trails 8-11 at the first mid-game break.

Lin opens up a lead
The Chinese Taipei shuttler is on a roll here as he opens up a five-point lead at 5-4. Sankar is struggling to keep up at the moment and his judgement errors on the line are not helping either.
