 The start of the third set saw the Chinese power their way to an early 3-0 lead and after an exchange of serves the British this time got a close line call in their favour to regain the serve and register a point.Again the service changed hands a couple of times but Robertson and Emms then took a 5-3 lead and on their next set of serves extended this to 7-3 with the Chinese trying every time-wasting trick in the book.The serve changed hands a couple of more times without troubling the scorer until Zhang and Gao made a charge to re-take the lead at 8-6 at which point the teams swapped ends.
