Kidambi Srikanth LOSES!

Not to be for Kidambi Srikanth. His wait for a title win extends further.

Jason Gunawan with a brilliant follow through shot following a smash goes up 21-20 before Srikanth hits long. The Indian goes down 16-21, 21-7, 20-22 in a hard fought contest.

20-20!

Srikanth isn't willing to give this up. Brilliant defensive shot, where he just angles the shuttlecock to draw level at 20-20.

Match point, Gunawan!

Srikanth's shot called in but a confident Guawan asks for a review. He is proven right, that landed just long.

Gunawan has a match point at 20-19.

4 points in a row!

Srikanth on the move now. He is bringing out all his attacking intent and smashes the bone out of the shuttle to go up 18-17!

Srikanth equalises!

A net dribble from Gunawan and the shuttle lands on his own side of the court. Srikanth has equalised at 17-17.

Srikanth fights back

A smash gone wide from Gunawan before Srikanth lands one perfectly to reduce the deficit. He trails 16-17 and the crowd has found its voice in Lucknow.

Gunawan takes the lead!

Three back-to-back errors from Kidambi Srikanth and Jason Gunawan now leads 17-14, much to the dismay of the crowd.
