FIH Women's World Cup Highlights: India hold England to draw; qualify for Phase 2
"We are doing really well"
"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.
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.

30' - England down to ten players!
A strong tackle from Howard Tessa on Neha Goyal from behind and she deservedly picks up a yellow card.
