CHN vs IND will feature on BWF channel live streaming http://www.youtube.com/badmintonworldtv#p/u Russia vs Scotland promises to be quite a scrap in the doubles disciplines. Scotland has a chance to score an upset if the Russians aren't on top of their game. In Denmark's outing against Singapore, I'm waiting to see how the promising young Line Kjaersfeldt fares against Gu Juan. The team compositions for the 2nd Session haven't been set up yet. The suspense... the suspense.... Thailand vs HKC are drawn on Court 1, which means their matches will (probably) go live.
Its not due to start for another 20 minutes, actually, Check again, then. FYI, I'm getting the same message as well.

Blair/Bankier take game 1 from Ivanov/Vislova! Z/Z take their foot off the pedal in game 2 vs Kona/Ponappa, having taken game 1 comfortably but are still on cruise setting. The Kiwi XD have their nose ahead in game 2, having taken game 1 away from the Philippines. Young Mark Alcala is playing the XD with Gelita Castilo.
Pretty much of a stroll for Sri Lanka and New Zealand in the first match. China too had little difficulty, since both Tarun Kona and Ashwini Ponnappa were not able to raise their net game. Vanessa Neo and Danny Bawa had their chances - since Christinna Pedersen wasn't playing very well. But they can't keep the shuttle away from the forehand of Joachim Fischer Nielsen - and thus the Danish clown and the reasonably big Danish supporters celebrated. The two beautiful girls from Russia and Scotland - Nina Vislova and Imogen Bankier are still duking it out. Vladimir Ivanov is looking a bit tired now, his large frame working overtime in game 3. And Robert Blair just whacked the shuttle into his own court.
