Just let Xhachibassi, one of the Istanbul giants, to sign for him in Kalitsa in Poland.
The libero caught there.
He's nearly saved.
He's back in play but Karakurt behind the 3m line.
Has to take the pace off.
Great defence again through Japan.
That's Olga again.
Again in system.
Validated a swing.
Again.
He can pick it up.
Fine rally developing here.
What can Karakurt do?
That's your answer.
Karakurt.
Two tries from the back line as well to get that one through.
Shikawa.
Balletin.
Left side.
Destroyed that swing all day long.
Wow.
Interesting.

Set one.
Shaheen.
In the right spot.
There she goes.
Much better pass.

Applicating Japan at the net.
And containment to enable them to find that transition.
Karakurt on one.
Shaheen on two.
And then on three it's the sister Saliha Shaheen who hits it.
Two hands.
What a play.
What a way to finish that rally for Maiya Ishikawa.
Who's having a blast.
Valadin.
They're so disciplined at the net today.
I mean you pointed it out.
Not necessarily an area of Japan's game.
And in from Galatasaray.
We're facing the Exatia Bassi player.
Is it going to give them a lead?
Well.
Yeah.
Is the immediate answer in the short term.
Japan still with a lead.
But this is a job for Parity.
Karakurt.
Bangs that at the libero.
What defence.

Sets a rally.
Ishikawa.
Has the honour here.
At set point for Aydin.

Miyabe with that serve for Japan.
There's Karakurt.
Pace hit there.
So Tokyo.

Teruya Shibajolu.
We go back to what we were saying earlier.
This is a long tournament.
There's a big pool of players to choose from every week.
Sometimes coaches just want to try out different things.
...in May.
Aki Bank.
But they're better a bit.
Exactly by the outside.
Finding a way to win those points.
Taking the inspiration.
I know they could be called up at any stage.

What a swing.
Because the block was right there.
But they left too much on the inside for Jebijolu.
Three set points for Turkey.
To the line.
Missed the opportunity.
Karakurt.
Doesn't get the races.
That's it.
Nishikawa off.
Arisa Inui comes in.
Switch the hitter.
White working out right now.
How that scramble up and over.
Inevitably.

If it's not your strength.
You could be in danger.
That's just found it's way inside the line there.
From Serena Kaga.

Set four.
There's Kaga.
Great chicken wing there from Gunes.
Kaga.
Turkey contain.
Ozbay Gunes.
It's whether it's.
Whether it's Zaragunis.
One of the blockers.
Is gonna do.
Underway.
With our first five set match.
In Bangkok.
Just told us.
How Turkey feels.
Karakura to hit.
Takes the pace off.
But that's a nice one.
Because Matsui gets that first contact.
It's a chicken wing.
Up and over.
How many chances to Turkey?
One here.
With a miss by Chibachalu.
It's Kaga.
It's into the block.
It's that combination of Gunes and Karakura.
We get.
