Lalremsiami receives the ball on the left flank and she is quick with her run to the baseline. She catches the England defence by surprise and has an open pass to Ishika in front of the goal.

The pass is executed well but Ishika's deflection isn't the best. It goes wide.

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.

That missed chance from India allows England to create yet another counter attack. The penetrate the circle via the right base line and Elena Rayer smartly pushes the ball into Vaishnavi Phalke's foot.

It's a penalty corner for England, their first of the match.

Grace Balsdon with the drag flick and she slots it in. That was powerfully struck and the Indians didn't have any chance. Fifth goal of the tournament for Balsdon.

The crowd in Hyderabad is shocked!

Salima Tete with a good run and she pierces the defence to put the ball to Lalremsiami. The forward has over run; she wasn't expecting the pass to be behind her and has to course correct.

Not the best of connections even as she tries to reach for it after backtracking and that's danger averted for England.

England come on a counter attack and it seems to be trouble for India with only one defender to stop Lottie Bingham. 

But Sushila Chanu comes up with a timely interception. It wasn't clean, but it allowed the rest of her teammates to fall back.

England still have the possession inside the circle and they fire in a shot, but Bichu Devi comes up with a good save to deny.

IND 0-0 ENG

Sunelita Toppo with a good pass to Navneet in the circle. The latter makes no error in playing it to Neha, behind her. 

Neha almost immediately puts it to Lalremsiami, who has an open goal in front of her, with the goalkeeper out of position expecting Neha to take a direct shot.

But Lalremsiami isn't at the perfect position to receive that pass. This has to be India's best chance from open play so far.

IND 0-0 ENG

Unlike the semi-final against Italy, India have started full throttle tonight. They are pressing forward hard.

A good aerial ball into the circle, where Lalremsiami receives well. Unfortunately, there's no one else to support her. She looks for a cross but that's intercepted cleanly.

IND 0-0 ENG

2026-03-14 14:20 GMT

Navneet Kaur's drag flick is blocked by the England goalkeeper, who has lied down in front of the goal.

There's massive chaos in front of the goal for a rebound and the ball eventually finds Rutuja Pisal, whose shot is not on target.

IND 0-0 ENG
