England have ended Singapore's dominance of the Commonwealth Games table tennis competition by having two teams qualify for the mixed doubles final.
Liam Pitchford and 15-year-old partner Tin-Tin Ho won a 3-2 thriller against Jian Zhan and Tianwei Fenn of Singapore, who have won every table tennis gold in Glasgow thus far.
Pitchford and Ho went into a two-game lead before their opponents fought back to force them into a decider which went 11-5 in favour of the English duo.
They will play teammates Paul Drinkhall and Joanna Drinkhall in Saturday's final, with the husband-and-wife pairing conquering another English partnership, Danny Reed and Kelly Sibley, by a 3-2 scoreline.
England are now guaranteed gold and silver in the event, but Drinkhall was among those to suffer disappointment in singles competition in Friday's earlier action.
