KUNSHAN (China): There are no easy opponents in the Thomas Cup Finals in Kunshan and Malaysian captain Lee Chong Wei has reminded his team-mates not to take England for granted in their opening Group C tie on Sunday.

Chong Wei is playing in his seventh Thomas Cup Finals and, at 33 years of age, knows that this will probably be his last chance to lift the trophy.
