And with that, we have arrived at the end of our live coverage. Do join us tomorrow for the live coverage of India's Uber Cup tie vs Japan.

Goodbye!

Also kudos to Sai Praneeth and the pair of Arun George and Sanyam Shukla for taking a game each off their respective Chinese opponents.

It wasn't a day to remember for India as they now exit the Thomas and Uber Cup 2018, but surely they will work on the positives that they got from this tie.

In both the meetings so far, Sen managed to take a game off the great Lin Dan.

That itself says how much talent he has. He needs work on his endurance level. It will surely get better as he matures further.

Sen is definitely one to watch.

China complete the whitewash 5-0.

Dan gets the next two points as well.

He wraps up the win!
