FIH Pro League LIVE: India lose campaign opener against Belgium – Highlights

52' - Good defence from Belgium!

A good steal from Shilanand Lakra and it catches the Belgians by a surprise. He loses his defender and goes on a solo run down the centre.

Lakra puts the ball to Nilakanta Sharma, who in turn puts it to Karthi Selvam inside the circle. But before the latter could take a shot, a Belgian defender comes in with a clean tackle.

That's a golden chance gone begging for India.

IND 1-1 BEL

50' - Neither teams in a hurry

Less than ten minutes left on the clock now but neither teams seem to be in a hurry. Belgium dominating the possession, but they are happy to sit back and play among themselves.

India, meanwhile, are back to full strength.

IND 1-1 BEL

48' - Green card, INDIA!

India are down to ten men for two minutes. Sukhjeet Singh has picked up a green card. Not sure what happened.

IND 1-1 BEL

END OF THIRD QUARTER!

End of an engaging third quarter. Belgium, once again, came close to scoring multiple times but the Indian defence held strong.

India will hope to create more chances in the final quarter, else it might just be a solitary error in the defence to undo all the hard work.

IND 1-1 BEL

39' - INDIA DENY!

A good dragflick right on target from Belgium. But India's postman Jarmanpreet Singh and goalkeeper Suraj Karkera combine well to stop it from going in.

Again good coordination between the two and I'm not sure if it was Jarmanpreet's stick or Karkera's legs, which stopped the ball from going in.

Jarmanpreet then clears it away. 

IND 1-1 BEL

38' - PC, BELGIUM!

Tom Boon with a tomahawk inside the circle. Amit Rohidas goes well to cut down the angle, but takes the ball to his eet.

A penalty corner for Belgium. Can they score?

IND 1-1 BEL

36' - Good defence, INDIA!

A good defensive display from India as Belgium come in via the right. A well coordinated stuff from the defenders and the goalkeeper Karkera to avert danger.

IND 1-1 BEL

34' - A sedate start

A rather sedate start to the second half with both teams happy to play the ball among themselves without aggressively pressing forward.

IND 1-1 BEL

31' - Loic van Doren saves!

India with a good start as Rajinder sends the ball into the circle from the right baseline. 

Loic van Doren is called into action early and he does well to prevent the ball from going in.

IND 1-1 BEL

31' - BACK LIVE!

We are back LIVE for the second half. India with the pushback this time, moving from right to left.

IND 1-1 BEL
