Hockey LIVE: India lose 4-7 to Australia in match 2 - Updates, Results, Scores, Blog
36' - PC, INDIA!
Hardik creates a move right from the centre, which eventually leads to a PC for India after some passing between Shamsher and Surender in the right flank.
35' - Brilliant save from Australia!
A wonderful ariel pass from the left to right flank, where Shamsher receives it for India. He is completely open and takes the shot, but its blocked well by the Australian goalkeeper. That should be encouraging for the Indians.
32' - Australia miss PC!
Nothing new here, as Australia earn a PC just a minute into the second half. They try a variation, but there is no one to collect that pass.
HALF TIME!
There goes the whistle and its the end of the first half. India have been schooled, they have been properly schooled especially in the second quarter.
Their defence has been questionable, gifting away 10 PCs in the first 30 minutes and they have a lot to ponder about. The scoreline could have been much worse for India, if not for that brilliant solo effort from Hardik Singh and a slice of luck towards the end where a rebound from the Australians hit the inside of the bar before popping out.
IND 2-4 AUS
29' - KRISHAN SAVES AGAIN!
That was another PC for Australia. NUMBER 10 OF THE MATCH. They try a variation, but Krishan Phatak saves. They take a rebound as well, which hits the inside of the bar and comes out.
LUCKY, VERY LUCKY FOR INDIA.
IND 2-4 AUS
29' - KRISHAN SAVES!
The earn yet another PC do Australia, but this time the dragflick is blocked and sent away cleanly by the young Krishan Phatak.
28' - AUSTRALIA SCORESSS!
Madness, madness out there as Australia score once again. The Kookaburras attack from the right flank and opens up the Indian defence. Krishan Phatak goes down without accounting for Govers who is in front of him and pays the price. Second of the match for Govers.
IND 2-4 AUS
25' - HARDIK SCOREEESSS!
This is brilliant from Hardik Singh. The Australian defence was passing it among themselves but the Indian number 8 applies pressure, steals the ball, runs in and strikes it in. SOLO EFFORT!
IND 2-3 AUS
25' - Australia SCOREEEE!
Australia comes down on a counter attack and earn a PC. The drag flick is blocked, but Jack Welch finds himself in a perfect position to put the rebound in.
IND 1-3 AUS
