Lakshya trails
Yet another close start on court number 1 between Sen and Kenta. The Japanese has a slight 5-4 advantage for now in the second game.

FINALLY!
Satwik-Chirag finally convert a game point. They win the first game 27-25 in 23 minutes. To be honest, this had no point coming this close when the Indians led 20-17.

25-25
Neither pair wants to win the first game, it seems. Satwik-Chirag led 24-23, and then 25-24 but have failed to pocket it.

23-23
They are not letting this go easily are Satwik-Chirag. We have a deadlock at 23-23. A fierce battle.

Satwik-Chirag trail
Satwik-Chirag now trail 21-22. Will the Chinese Taipei pair close this off?

Lakshya Sen TAKES THE FIRST GAME
He holds his nerve does the Indian. Works hard to get a game point again and pockets it this time. Nishimoto was in control for long, but Sen pressed the accelerator under pressure.
22-20 in 30 minutes.

Satwik-Chirag crumbling
They had a 17-20 lead but have squandered it. 20-20 on court number 2 as well. This is poor from India's premier doubles duo.

GAME POINT, LAKSHYA!
Terrific from the Indian youngster. 3 straight points and he has two game points at 20-18. Can he convert?

Lakshya Equalises, AGAIN
This has been the story of this contest so far. One shuttler opens up a slight lead, before the other nullifies. 18-18.
