Wang continues to march on!
Wang continues her merry run in the second game as she opens up a 10-point lead at 15-5. Can not really decipher what is going on with Sindhu.

11-3
The roles seem to have reversed in the second game. Sindhu now looks clueless as she goes into the mid-game break trailing by 8 points at 3-11. Can the former World Champion turn it around in this game?

A point for Wang, FINALLY!
Sindhu finally falters. Tries to lift the shuttle from the net, but fails. A point for Wang after 13 consecutive points for Sindhu. The Indian leads 13-3.

11-2
This is all too easy for Sindhu at the moment. Wang is clueless as the double Olympic medallist pockets 11 consecutive points to lead 11-2 at the mid-game break.
No signs of emotion from Sindhu today.

7 consecutive points
Early burst of energy from Sindhu and it seems there is no stopping her today. She is outplaying Wang at the moment and has pocketed 7 points in a row to lead 7-2.
