And he has done it! Srikanth takes the match against Penty 21-19, 21-17 to move into the last-four.

Match point Srikanth!

Srikanth is only two points away from the semifinal at 19-16!

This is still tight as the Englishman takes two points to claw back to 15-17.

What a comeback this is turning out to be in the second. Brilliant front court plays and attacking badminton sees Srikanth take the lead 16-13!

At 12-12, Srikanth and Penty have drawn level.

Better from Srikanth as he keeps the shuttle tied to the net to take a few quick points, trails by only one at 10-11 now.

Sen joins Sindhu in the semifinals with an effortless performance!

Meanwhile, Srikanth is looking to become the 3rd Indian to join them in the last four.

Lakshya Sen’s game is effortless mannnnn. What a gem.

Sen is simply toying with his opponent at the moment. Increasing the lead further and further to go up to 14-10.

The Indian's strategy of moving Paul all over the court to finish with a sublime drop worked perfectly.

Huge, huge smash from Sen to take an 11-8 lead heading into the midgame interval.

Paul's backhand error at the net puts Lakshya ahead at 9-8

Lakshya is back in this at 7-7

Paul is trying every bit to move Sen to every inch of the court in an effort to eke out errors off the Indian's racquet.

Sen's opponent, Julien Paul Georges of Mauritius, is ranked No. 106 in the world.

But in this game, he is giving a good demonstration of his talent. With a flurry of reverse slice and smashes, he has surged to a 7-5 lead.

Srikanth, meanwhile, has arrived at game point! Leads 20-18.

Penty wiht a quick finish at the net at 18-19 Srikanth! There's only one point in it!
