Crunch day in many of the Pools with playoff places likely to be confirmed as the top and bottom ranked teams in five of the Pools meet …
Scots and Spanish spring surprises as Egypt, England, France and Hong Kong take control of their pools …
It’s been a day of upsets so far – while Egypt and France safely secured top spots in Pools A and C with wins over Switzerland and Malaysia, fourth and fifth seeds New Zealand and Germany both lost out, beaten by Scotland and Spain respectively to throw Pools D and E wide open.
In the evening session England almost certainly topped Pool B with James Willstrop stopping a Peter Creed comeback that would have set up a decider, and Hong Kong edged Australia to do the same in Pool F.
In the battle for the lower placings Kuwait got the better of Jamaica while Colombia survived against Korea by the skin of their teeth – winning the first two matches both in five with multiple match balls saved.
