Defending champions and top seeds England cruised through to the semi-finals
of the Al-Ahram Men's World Team Squash Championships in Cairo with a 3-0
victory over France. Canada, beaten finalists in 1997 and still without
injured world No1 Jonathon Power, failed to make the last four after a
sensational fightback by Wales, led by world No10 Alex Gough.

Welsh hopes looked faint when Gough went two games down to Canada No1 and
Pan
American Games gold medallist Graham Ryding, after team-mate Greg Tippings
had already lost the opening match in straight games. Gough, however,
magnificently restored the balance with a 6-9 5-9 9-7 9-2 9-2 win over
Ryding
in 103 minutes, before compatriot David Evans clinched the tie with a 3-0
win
over the Canadian second string Kelly Patrick. Wales meet England in the
semi-finals for the second time in the championships.

The other semi-final will be between 2nd seeds Australia and hosts Egypt,
the
4th seeds. Australia dropped their first match of the tournament in their
2-1 win over South Africa, while Egypt, led by World Open finalist Ahmed
Barada, stormed to a 3-0 victory over Finland.
