Chen and Liu are through to the final! A dominant performance from the Chinese pair in the decider. They take the game 21-12 and will now take on South Korea's Kim and Seo in the men's doubles final tomorrow. Satwik and Chirag sign off with a bronze. That's a huge achievement considering their recent form. They will be on the podium tomorrow after the Korea vs China final.

Thanks for tuning in!

Chen and Liu lead 18-9 in the final game! They are three points away from a place in the final. They've been the dominant pair throughout this tie.

Satwik and Chirag go into the interval trailing 3-11. The Indians clearly struggling against the flick serve. Is it too late for a comeback? You never know. This has been a tournament of comebacks.

Satwik misses the return as Chen and Liu with a 5-0 lead in the deciding game. What a start for the 11th seeds.

After a 32-shot rally, Satwik-Chirag get two game points. They eventually take the game 21-18 to level the men's doubles semi-fina;. Chen and Liu's coach is not happy. 

Chen and Liu have won five-straight points to leve the second game at 16-16. Too many errors from Chirag Shetty, who more often then not found his return on the net. India's lead neutralised once again

The stark difference between the pep talks from the two coaches! The Chinese coach is much more agitated, and you could literally hear him yell at Chen and Liu. The Indian coach, on the other hand, has looked more calm. Satwik-Chirag lead 11-9 at the interval

A one-point lead for Satwik-Chirag! After a decent rally, Chirag Shetty is unable to return Liu's smash. Not looking good for the Indians. This game has followed the pattern of the opening one.

Satwik-Chirag have taken a 5-1 lead in the second game, which they can't afford to lose. They are quick to get off the blocks but can they sustain this? They lost the opening game 19-21, despite leading at 11-5 at the break.

Chen and Liu have turned the tide and now lead 19-16. Satwik-Chirag have been on the attack, but the Chinese have returned almost everything to force the errors from the Indians. What a comeback!

Chirag Shetty with a brilliant body smash as the Indian go into the mid-game break up by 11-5. Dominant stuff from the Indians. Chen and Liu quickly rush towards their coach

What a start from the Asian Games champions! They win four straight points. Chirag, however, soon goes long as Chen-Liu finally open their account to trail 1-4. Nonetheless, a positive start from the Indians.

Chen and Liu to serve at Satwik and Chirag! The Indian pair is quick to break the serve. 

South Koreans Seo Seung Jae and Kim Won Ho won their semi-final earlier in the day against the Danes Kim Astrup and Anders Rasmussen. Who will join them in the final?
