Log:
7.26pm: Bernard Tey pots the 9-ball and USA follow China and England out of the competition.
7.23pm: Nearly a golden break from Chan in the decider but it's in the hands of Singapore this one.
7.20pm: Maybe not quite. Chan's bank on the 5-ball keeps it interesting after Dechaine missed the 4-ball. Hold on tight it's one rack to go. And it's 7-7.
7.15pm: Dechaine produces his best shot of the match and it comes at the perfect time with a stunning jump shot to down the 2-ball. It's game, set and match says Tony Drago.
7.12pm: They were flagging but now look to be heading aloft into the second round. USA move to the hill.
7.11pm: More good stuff from Deuel in the next as his banks the red 3, taking into account the needed deflection off the 8-ball. However, Dechaine's effort on the pink 4 stays lurking dangerously. Chan pots it but Tey follows it up with a miss.
7.10pm: Deuel makes a fine long pot on the 2-ball and those are the sort of shots America need to win this one. They've certainly been in a fight today. Dechaine pots the 9-ball and makes it all square at 6-6.
7.05pm: But there's another twist in this match and it's an enthralling contest. The USA break is not what was required and Singapore do the rest. The match, with the winner break, is now in their hands.
7pm: It's falling into the good fightback category at the moment but the job is not over yet. USA are playing well as a team now and, despite a tricky 8-ball, run out the rack for 5-5.
6.55pm: America have got their game faces on now, that's for sure. No more clowning around (apart from their outfits obviously) and then they run out the ninth. It's the third they've won in a row and have gone from 5-1 down to 5-4.
6.49pm: We've seen some good fightbacks and also some big upsets. What category will this match fall into? USA win their third following on from that Chan miss.
6.47pm: A bad miss from debutant Mike Dechaine on the 2-ball puts USA in trouble but they instantly get a reprieve as Chan misses the same ball.
6.45pm: The Americans may be wearing comedy outifts but they're certainly not smiling. They get a chance in the seventh and take it. It's serious stuff from now on.
6.40pm: Singapore make a golden break in the next and quickly extend their lead further to 5-1. At first it looks like the break is illegal, but a television replay shows two other balls cross the headstring and it gets the thumbs up from head referee Michaela Tabb. USA are in trouble. So far the seeded teams to have lost are 1 - China, 3 - England, 8- Spain, 12 - Finland, 13 - France, 14 - Holland and 16 - Indonesia.
6.37pm: Singapore break and run through the next and are halfway there. 4-1.
6.32pm: Dechaine's effort on the 2-ball stays out causing the American to hit his cue on the floor. Singapore move 3-1 in front. We've already had seven of the ten seeded teams that have playerd gone out. Will USA, the sixth seeds, be joining them?
6.28pm: Singapore take advantage after Deuel's attempted jump shot to hit the six-ball doesn't get enough air time and crashes into the 7-ball. With ball in hand Singapore move ahead.
6.21pm: First two racks are shared. 1-1.
6.03pm: By the way, America are playing the Singapore pair of Bernard Tey and Chan Keng Kwang. Thought it would be best to tell you that.
6.02pm: Even referee Nigel Rees is struggling to keep a straight face as two huge American flags walk into the arena, oh wait, it's the players.
6pm: America are next up and Corey Deuel and Mike Dechaine show they've got a sense of humour as they're wearing red shirts, stars and stripes trousers, with the same pattern on the shoes and a white belt to finish off the effect. Only the Indian sparkling shirts from yesterday will deny the Americans the $500 for the best dressed team.
