India vs Australia, 4th Hockey Test: IND 1-5 AUS at Full Time — Highlights
8' - Slower start to match
Too high and missing from Harmanpreet off the penalty corner attempts. A slower start to today's game than the first 3 games.
Today also happens to be a notable day in Indian hockey:
5' - India earn a PC
Surender Kumar tries to take the ball upfield for India, but eventually has to surrender. The Australians are piling on a wave of attacks in the early stages.
Against the run of play, India win a PC, the first of the match, in the 5th minute.
1' - Australia attack early
And we begin. Australia with the first pushback of the match. And the hosts rampage into the Indian circle in the first minute! A shot crashed as well, just wide of the post.

What's at stake
India fought back in the third test to win it by 4-3 to draw first blood in the five match test series after being 2-0 down after the starting two games of the series. Can India win the 4th match today to take us to a series decider?
This series is being played as preparation for the Hockey World Cup.
