6-3 -
The previous game proved to be the decisive one as Zvonareva breaks Asarenka's serve for a second time and takes the second set and the match. Thanks for joining us, Ana Ivanovic against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova follows later.
5-3 -
Surely the key game of the match, as Zvonareva saves three break points on her serve to emerge the winner and hold - just the one more game required for the Russian now.
4-3 -
Azarenka holds to love as she finds form a little too late it looks like. Zvonareva is given very little chance to get into the points as her opponent is assertive throughout.
4-2 -
Azarenka takes Zvonareva to deuce, but the Russian finishes the game unscathed and reestablishes her two-game advantage.
3-2 -
Azarenka looks more confident in holding this time, with two fine first serves which give her cheap points to help set up the game.
3-1 -
Zvonareva consolidates her lead to set herself up for a straight sets win if she can hold her nerve in the next three service games.
2-1 -
Azarenka stumbles through her service game in unconvincing fashion to narrow the deficit at 2-1 after saving a break point.
2-0 -

6-3 -
Zvonareva clinches the first set 6-3 as the Russian takes a firm grip on the match. Azarenka hasn't managed to trouble her opponent yet, and she will have to be more assertive in this second set.
5-3 -
Azarenka and Zvonareva each hold as the Russian moves just one game away from taking the first set...
4-2 -
Zvonareva steps up her game to take a crucial first-set break, with Azarenka losing her composure and being outmaneouvered from the back of the court.
3-2 -
Zvonareva regains her lead with some effective serving out to Azarenka's back-hand. The Russian loses just a single point, with no real pressure on her serve as yet.
2-2 -
Azarenka levels at 2-2 with a crisp back-handed pass as Zvonareva fails to exert much pressure on her opponent's serve.
2-1 -
Zvonareva goes 2-1 up with some patient play from the back of the court - the Russian also looks to have good control over her first serve this evening.
1-1 -
Both players hold without fuss in their opening service games as neither makes any inroads with their returns.
- -
Vera Zvonareva and Victoria Azarenka are set to battle it out in the first women's semi-final at the Indian Wells Masters. Ana Ivanovic and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova face each other in the second semi-final later on.
