A PC for India with just 9 seconds left and they score this time. Gurjit Kaur's dragflick is deflected in by Vandana Katariya. A consolation goal to end things off India.
IND 1-3 ENG
This contest has surely slipped away from India now. Just merely going through the motions now.
Savita Punia's save deflects to an Indian defender's feet and England have a PC. The English girls try a variation and the deflection is top notch. Savita Punia had no chance there.
IND 0-3 ENG
First, India penetrate from the right and then from the left, but they can't do anything. Defended rather easily by England.
Vandana Katariya earns another PC for India, but the injection is slow. By the time Gurjit even thinks of taking the dragflick, the first rusher is over her. Intercepted easily.
Yet another PC for India. Monika with the dragflick which is blocked without breaking a sweat.
A stunning tomahawk from Salima Tete and it's blocked beautifully by Maddie Hinch. The rebound goes to Sharmila Devi, who fails to deflect it in. That's yet another chance gone.
There goes the hooter and that's the end of the third quarter. Multiple chances for India, but none converted. England, on the other hand, extended their lead via Tessa Harvard, thanks to a massive defensive lapse from Udita Singh.
IND 0-2 ENG
Gurjit hits the first one straight to kepper, before Monika looks for a deflection in the second, which never comes, with a wide shot.
A beautiful interception and run from Lalremsiami, but her final forward pass is a mess. She had Vandana open, but went the other way with the pass and the chance goes begging for India.
