Script:

World number one Lee Chong Wei was looking for his tenth Malaysia Open title on home soil, having failed to win only once before..

He took on China's 23-year-old Wang Zhengming in a round of 16 encounter.

Lee took a 5-0 early lead in the first game, before Wang won this rally to level it at 9-all.

However, it was the defending champion who claimed the first game 21-17 - he even had enough confidence to perform some trick shots to entertain the home crowd.

He then followed up with victory in the second set 21-18 to go through.

Another Chinese opponenet, Du Pengyu or Chen Yuekun awaits him in the quarter-finals.

In women's singles, Korea's Bae Yeon-Ju faced PV Sindhu from India.

After winning the first game 21-16, Bae, the number six seed was 15-19 down in the second.

She then took the next six points in a row to cruise to a 21-19 victory.

Bae will take on 16-year-old Japanese sensation Akane Yamaguchi in the quarter-finals.

In the men's doubles, the Chinese pair of Liu Xiaolong and Qiu Zihan, seeded fourth, played Indonesian stars Angga Pratama and Ryan Agung Saputra.

Pratama and Saputra were in better form as they beat the 2013 all-England champions in straight sets 21-18, 21-19.

In a three-game thriller of mixed doubles, the new Indonesian pairing of Praveen Jordan and Debby Susanto came from behind to beat local hopefuls Chan Peng Soon and Goh Liu Ying 18-21, 21-17, 24-22.
