The clash of the two home countries at the Liebherr 2010 World Team Table Tennis Championships in Moscow this afternoon was definitely a story of two parts.
Part 1 - a really out of form Paul Drinkhall losing in 3 straight games to Gavin Rumgay puts Scotland 1-0 ahead
Part 2 - three, all of them three straight, wins for Andrew Baggaley over Craig Howeson, Danny Reed over Niall Cameron and Paul Drinkhall over Craig Howeson. England win 3-1
England now face Vietnam tomorrow about 10am UK time for 37th/38th place
