With one match left to play, England's chances of staying in the top division of the European Indoor Championships were looking slim after today's games. Spain's opponents this afternoon were Russia, whose 3-2 defeat means that Spain now tops the relegation pool with 6 pts.

The semi finals between Austria and the Czech Republic, and Germany and The Netherlands take place this evening. The winners play each other in the final tomorrow.
