FIH Women's World Cup LIVE: After a splendid start to their campaign at the 2026 FIH Women's Hockey World Cup with a draw against China and a thumping win over South Africa, the Indian women's team is set for a crucial clash against England.
The equation for Salima Tete and co is simple. Win or hold England for a draw and advance to Phase 2. Lose and undo all the good work they have done so far.
Can India qualify for the next phase?
Stay tuned for all the LIVE updates:
An early penalty corner for India in the second half, thanks to some good work from Salima Tete. Can they finally convert?
Navneet Kaur's drag flick is blocked by a diving Miriam Pritchard. Salima Tete's rebound attempt is blocked as well before the ball hits a defender's foot, handing India yet another attempt.
It is Navneet Kaur yet again with the drag flick. This time she has slotted the ball in cleanly into the net. But that was high. Danger called.
That's the second time Navneet's drag flick into the net has been disallowed tonight!
IND 0-0 ENG
We are back live for the third quarter. India start with the possession, moving from right to left.
IND 0-0 ENG
"We are doing really well. It's about execution. We need to be a bit more precise with the injection," says Indian coach Sjoerd Marijne at the half-time.
There goes the hooter and that's the end of the first half.
India dominated most of the first quarter, but England fought back in the latter stages. The second quarter saw England enjoy most of the possession, but for the longest of time India ensured that there was no real threat at the goal.
Both teams have missed multiple penalty corners as the deadlock remains.
India will have to push early on the other side of the break with England set to start with just ten players.
IND 0-0 ENG
A strong tackle from Howard Tessa on Neha Goyal from behind and she deservedly picks up a yellow card.
England are down to ten players for the next five minutes!
IND 0-0 ENG
The Indian defence opened up as Darcy Bourne finds open space in the middle of the circle.
Bourne receives the ball and unleashes a reverse hit. But it is very high over the goal post.
IND 0-0 ENG
Lottie Bingham with a good drive into the circle finds the foot of Sushila Devi, earning a PC.
Thankfully for India, it is off target.
IND 0-0 ENG
England with a good press forward and they have earned a penalty corner.
The drag flick is on target, but Bichu Devi has it covered in front of the goal.
IND 0-0 ENG
Lalremsiami earns a penalty corner for India on the counter. Deepika absolutely picks the bones out of the ball with her drag flick, but Miriam Pritchard just extends her right leg to block it away.
IND 0-0 ENG
