Chris and Gabby Adcock have become the first British players to reach a final of the year-end World Superseries Finals.
The world number seven pairing beat Indonesia's Praveen Jordan and Debby Susanto 21-17, 22-20 in the mixed doubles semi-finals in Abu Dhabi.
They will face South Korea's Ko Sung Hyun and Kim Ha Na in Sunday's final.
Speaking about the win, Chris said: "It wasn't something we were aware of, but it's to achieve that."
It was the husband-and-wife team's fourth successive win over the Indonesians, while they will be looking for a first career victory over their South Korean opponents.
Currently second in the Race to Rio [Olympics] standings, the South Koreans have recorded wins at the Denmark and French Opens in recent months, and will start as favourites for the title.
