The two big nations are ready for the European Men’s Team Championships semi-final on Saturday after beating Poland and Czech Rep.

England faced Poland in their quarter-final, and after winning the first men’s singles, first men’s doubles and second men’s singles they secured a spot between the last four. Last winning man was social media star Sam Parsons.

- There was a little pressure on me before the match, so it feels good to win. I know I can out run most players, and that was what happen, Parsons says.
