Favourites Egypt, the defending champions, and second seeds Pakistan will line-up for the final of the World Junior Men's Team Championship in Zurich - their second successive meeting in the climax - after comfortable semi-final wins in the biennial World Squash Federation championship being held for the first time in Switzerland.
But Egypt started off on the back foot against third seeds England when Adrian Waller battled for 90 minutes for the underdogs - twice coming from behind to beat Egyptian Andrew Wagih Shoukry 4-9, 9-6, 6-9, 9-6, 10-8 to put the former champions ahead.
Egypt soon recovered from the setback of their first match loss in the event when new world champion Mohamed El Shorbagy beat England number one Joe Lee 9-7, 9-6, 9-4 in 45 minutes to draw level.
The decider was an equally fiercely-fought encounter - but Amr Khaled Khalifa was ultimately too strong for Alex Ingham, beating the youngest member of the England squad 9-6, 9-6, 9-3 in 58 minutes to put Egypt back into the final for the third time in a row.
After the elation of reaching the semi-finals for the first time in history, fifth seeds India were brought down to earth by second seeds Pakistan - losing 3/0 to their Asian rivals. Waqar Mehboob put 2006 runners-up Pakistan ahead with a 9-0, 7-9, 10-8, 9-0 victory over Aditya Jagtap - and world individual championship runner-up Aamir Atlas Khan sealed victory for the second seeds by overcoming fellow top string Vikram Malhotra 9-0, 9-3, 9-0.
In the best-of-three-games third match, Mohd Shoaib Hassan made it 3/0 by beating Ravi Dixit 9-1, 9-0.
In the 5th-8th place play-offs, seventh seeds Germany upset France, the fourth seeds, 2/1 to set up a play-off for fifth place against Malaysia, the sixth seeds who beat tenth seeds Canada 2/1.
