There it is - THE INEVITABLE. India and Ireland finish level on terms after 60 minutes, and off we head into the shootout.
IND 1-1 IRE
60' - INDIA MISSES!
Deep Grace Ekka's is blocked. The umpire feels it is the foot of a defender, but Ireland challenges it immediately. They feel it is the stick and they are proven right.
INDIA MISS YET ANOTHER PC!
59' - INDIA, PC!
India challenge for a dangerous ball inside the circle and they win it. It's a PC for India with 64 seconds left.
58' - 2 minutes left
2 minutes left in the contest, and both teams are level on terms. This could well be head into a shoot out.
55' - Good defence from India!
A beautiful move from Ireland, but India emerge out of that unscathed. Beautiful defending not not allow a PC there.
54' - WHAT A SAVE!
Elizabeth Murphy is waging a lone battle for Ireland. Yet again India comes close to scoring, and she once again denies them with a beautiful save. Just phenomenal!
51' - A close fight
A very close fight in the the final quarter with neither teams willing to give an inch. Will we have a result before the end of the regulation time?
END OF THE THIRD QUARTER!
That also brings an end to the third quarter and India would be pleased with that goal. They will surely come back out for the final period of play with a renewed confidence.
Countless PCs for the women in blue, and they have finally managed to convert one towards the end of third quarter. Right then, a lot to play for in the final 15 minutes.
IND 1-1 IRE
