6.55pm: The hoped-for classic between top seed Tomokazu Harimoto and No 6 seed Anders Lind doesn’t materialise as the Japanese superstar whips past the Danish leftie 3-0 (11-4, 11-4, 11-7).

6.30pm: Young German Kay Stumper has had a brilliant tournament, beating Dimitrij Ovtcharov as well as our own Sam Walker.

5.50pm: Our first result of the evening after a humdinger of a match – third seed Lin Yun-Ju of Chinese Taipei holds off fifth seed Sora Matsushima of Japan, who put in a sterling fightback and led the decider 7-3 before Lin finished strongly to win 3-2 (11-5, 11-9, 7-11, 4-11, 11-8).

12.15pm: Third seed Lin Yun-Yu of Chinese Taipei safely negotiates his last-16 tie against Flavien Coton of France, winning 3-0 (11-9, 11-3, 11-9).
