Aggression from Srikanth

A loose shot from Axelsen, Srikanth sees the opportunity and latches on to it brilliantly. He trails 7-15.

Axelsen loses a challenge

That was called out, Axelsen challenges and is indeed out. He loses a challenge, but leads 14-5.

Nothing going India's way

Now the Axelsen's return hits the top of the net and just tips over to the other side. He immediately apologies, but pockets the point to lead 13-4.

11-3

The scoreline at the mid-game break is similar to what it was in the first game and this looks over for India already. Axelsen is just too hot to handle for Srikanth at the moment.

6-point lead

Much like the first game, Axelsen has pressed on the accelerator and Srikanth has no answers. The Olympic Champion leads 9-3.

Naaah!

Two grave errors from Srikanth and Axelsen opens up a 4-2 lead.

Srikanth equalises

Srikanth has equalised at 2-2. Can he edge ahead?

Axelsen leads

Srikanth won the first point of the second game, but the Danish star has taken a 2-1 lead with a wonderfully placed smash.

Not long

Axelsen pockets the first game 21-12 without breaking a sweat. 

Pressure right on Kidambi Srikanth to deliver under pressure now. Can he force the Olympic Champion into a decider? He surely has it in him to, but will he turn up with his A game today?

Srikanth saves 2

Srikanth has saved two game points - the last one with a wonderful smash. How long can he deny Axelsen?
