This was the third meeting between the pairs and the first time Adcock and Ellis had not taken a game off the Russians, who now lead 3-0 in head to heads.

Adcock and Ellis led briefly at the start of each game but simply could not get ahead of Ivanov and Sozonov, who beat England's other leading pair Chris Langridge and Peter Mills in the last 16 yesterday, having also beaten them in the Thailand semi-finals six days ago.

Adcock, Ellis and the rest of the England squad will now head for next week's Li-Ning Singapore Open Superseries event in Singapore City.
