Denmark will have the chance to retain their European Mixed Team Badminton Championships title tomorrow as they beat Germany in the semi-finals in Lubin this evening.

The Danes claimed the first point of the contest in Poland when Joachim Fischer Nielsen and partner Christinna Pedersen picked up a 21-12, 21-17 mixed doubles victory over Germany's Isabel Herttrich and Mark Lamsfuss.

However, Fabian Roth leveled the match for Germany when he claimed an impressive 21-18, 10-21, 21-18 win over Viktor Axelsen in the men's singles.

The Danes then re-established their lead in the women's singles as Line Kjaersfeldt came from one set down to defeat Fabienne Deprez 14-21, 21-11, 21-7.

The win was then ensured for Denmark in the men's doubles when Mathias Boe and Carsten Mogensen defeated Mark Lamsfuss and Josche Zurwonne 21-17, 21-13.

They will now face Russia in tomorrow's final after they beat England 3-1 earlier today.

The husband and wife team of Gabrielle and Chris Adcock had been in ominous form so far in this tournament, but lost their mixed doubles match against Vladimir Ivanov and Ekaterina Bolotova 21-16, 21-16 to put England on the back foot.

Proceedings were leveled immediately when Toby Penty defeated Anatoliy Yartsev 21-16, 21-16 in the men's singles.

But the Russians quickly restored their advantage though when Evgeniya Kosetskaya defeated Chloe Birch in a close encounter.

Kosetskaya took the opening set 21-16 before Birch tied the contest up by winning the second 13-21.

The Russian then put her country on the brink of the final though by winning the third set 21-12.

Ivanov and partner Ivan Sozonov then confirmed Russia's place in the final with a men's doubles win over Chris Langridge and Marcus Ellis. 

The English duo took the opening set 21-18 before Ivanov and Sozonov booked Russia's place in tomorrow's final by winning the second and third sets 21-17 and 21-18.
