English pair beaten in Birmingham
Nathan Robertson and Gail Emms bowed out of the All England Championships after a comprehensive semi-final loss.
The 2004 Olympic silver medal winners were beaten 21-18 21-15 by Indonesia's Nova Widianto and Liliyana Natsir.
The 2007 world champions will face China's Zheng Bo and Gao Ling in Sunday's final in Birmingham.
"Gail is very upset and I know I served terribly," said Robertson. "It was not good enough. We made a lot of simple errors. We're extremely disappointed."
He added: "The crowd support was fantastic but unfortunately myself and Gail were well below our best. "
