END OF FIRST QUARTER!

India did a lot of things right during that quarter. Sjoerd Marijne wanted them to be aggressive and they did. They were positive right from the start and earned a PC as early as the second minute. There were a few other chances as well, but they just couldn't convert.

England were slow to get into the rhythm but once they did, the Indian defence was tested. The hosts held well for most part, but it a Balsdon drag flick was all it took to break the deadlock for England.
