    Top seeds Kim Won Ho and Seo Seung Jae are through to the Men's Doubles final.

    We finish with a flourish as South Korea's Kim Won Ho and Seo Seung Jae defeat Raymond Indra and Nikolaus Joaquin of Indonesia to reach the Men's Doubles final.

    The world champions were at their entertaining best as they came through 21-19, 21-13.

    They will be looking to retain their title when they play Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik in tomorrow's final - a repeat of January's Malaysia Open Super 1000 event final.

  3. Wang wins through to set up dream finalpublished at 22:23 GMT 7 March

    The Women's Singles second seed Wang Zhi Yi gets the job done in impressive fashion to reach her second consecutive All England Open final.

    Wang had to come from behind in both sets against Japan's Akane Yamaguchi but finishes off comfortably to record a 21-15, 21-19 victory.

    It will therefore be a repeat of last year's final in the Women's Singles, but to earn the title Wang will have to do something she has not done in her last nine attempts - beat An Se-young in a final!

  4. Chia and Soh through in straight setspublished at 21:21 GMT 7 March

    The second seeds in the Men's Doubles Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik have booked their place in Sunday's final.

    The Malaysian pair were too strong for China's Chen Bo Yang and Liu Yi as they saw through a close second set to take the match 21-11, 21-19.

    In Sunday's final Chia and Soh will be hoping to make it third time lucky after losing both their previous All England Open finals in 2019 and 2024.

    They will also have the chance to bring home a first Super 1000 event title.

  5. An Se-young fights back to make finalpublished at 20:27 GMT 7 March

    World number one An Se-young is through to yet another final - and she did it in style!

    The reigning Olympic champion had to come from behind against Chen Yu Fei of China but showed immense class in the final two sets to record a 20-22, 21-9, 21-12 win.

    Se-Young has won the last six tournaments she has competed in, including last year's World Tour Finals and the Malaysia Open in January.

    And she is - of course - the defending champion here in Birmingham, so can she retain her crown on Sunday?

  6. World champions Liu and Tan win Chinese doubles battlepublished at 19:44 GMT 7 March

    The reigning world champions and world number ones are through to the Women's Doubles final.

    Liu Sheng Shu and Tan Ning overcame fellow Chinese duo and third seeds Jia Yi Fan and Zhang Shu Xian, but they needed five match points to secure an 18-21, 21-17, 22-20 victory.

    They will play Baek Ha Na and Lee So Hee from South Korea in tomorrow's final.

    What a match! It was a tightly balanced match throughout, but Lakshya Sen eventually did enough to get the win over the line and will be in tomorrow's final.

    Sen won the first match 21-16 and Victor Lai took the second 21-18 after fighting off Sen's come back late into the second game. The third match had everything, including an 86 shot rally, but Sen did enough to beat Lai and land a place in tomorrow's final.

    The All England Open Badminton Championships is the world's oldest badminton tournament and was given Super Series status in 2007, before being upgraded to Super Series Premier status in 2011. The All England would go on to be given Super 1000 event status at the birth of the World Tour in 2018.

    The Super 1000 events, held in four historic strongholds of the sport of badminton (Great Britain, China, Malaysia and Indonesia) are the highest level events below the World Championships and Olympic Games tournaments.

    In essence, the Super 1000 events are Badminton's answer to the Grand Slam tournaments in tennis, with the All-England Open Badminton Championships the most historic of the four events.

    The world's first open tournament was held in Guildford in 1898, the success of which led to the All England's inaugural edition, which was held at London's Horticultural Halls in 1899. Initially just consisting of the doubles format, the singles tournament was introduced in 1900. The All England championships were unofficially considered as the world championship of the sport until 1977, when the International Badminton Federation launched its official championships.
