HIL: Tamil Nadu Dragons beats Hyderabad Toofans in sudden death – Highlights
42' - Brilliant goalkeeping from Harte
Hyderabad Toofans with a desperate attempt and David Harte saves. The Toofans pounce on the rebound as well but Harte denies them again. The goalkeeper is almost on the floor, but gives pushing the ball away.
That was a triple save. Brilliant from Harte!
However, the ball finally catches the foot of a defender and Toofans have a PC. Can they convert?

31' - Dragons miss PC!
We are underway for the second half and within seconds the Tamil Nadu Dragons earn a penalty corner. It is Uttam Singh with some good work inside the circle to earn it.
However, Arthur de Sloover with some good defending at the goal as he cleanly deflects away Jip Janssen's drag flick from the right post.
Dragons 1-1 Toofans
HALF TIME!
That's half time. Nothing to separate the Tamil Nadu Dragons and the Hyderabad Toofans. Both teams scored within a minute of each other early in the first quarter and have since been engrossed in an end to end battle.
While Rajinder Singh set up Tim Brand to put the Toofans ahead first, Mohammed Raheel combined with Blake Govers to help the Dragons level just moments later.
The goalkeepers have been busy as well but they have ensured no more balls have gone past them since the fourth minute.
Dragons 1-1 Toofans
26' - Sumit copes a blow
Abharan Sudev looking to put the ball into the circle from right, hits Sumit on the wrist instead with the ball. The Toofans skipper is in pain and he has to walk off the field.
Hopefully nothing too serious for the Indian defender.

A good move from the right by the Tamil Nadu Dragons and the ball lands on the feet of Blake Govers after taking a defender's deflection. The Australian takes a powerful shot, but Bikramjit has it in control with a good save.
The Dragons try to pounce on the rebound, but can't do much.
