FIH Pro League LIVE: India v/s Australia - Updates, Results, Scores, Blog

51' - INDIA MISS PC!

A PC for India and they try a variation. No co-ordination between the players there and a golden chance to seal the match goes begging.

49'- Australia miss PC, AGAIN!

An error from Manpreet this time hands Australia yet another PC. This time the dragflick is way wide off the post. The Indians defenders are not even bothered.

END OF THIRD QUARTER!

A school-boy error from Rabichandra as he hangs his stick in the air inside the circle gifts Australia a PC in the dying moments of the third quarter. Pawan, however, stands tall once again to block and deny the Kookaburras.

Can the Indians hold on to their 2-goal advantage for 15 more minutes?

IND 4-2 AUS

43' - WILLOTT SCORESS!

A brilliant combination play inside the circle from Australia before the ball finds Ky Willott, who guides it in. Australia pull one back late in the third quarter.

IND 4-2 AUS

41' - AUSTRALIA MISS PCs!

A foul from Vivek Sagar Prasad hands Australia a PC. The first dragflick hits the feet of Manpreet Singh, while the second goes wide. India survive!

33' - Good defending from India

Australia apply the early pressure in the second half, but the Indian defence is compact. Good stuff so far.

HALF TIME!

A very physical first half and India have dominated in a stunning fashion. After scoring twice in the first 15 minutes minutes via captain Harmanpreet, the men in blue struck twice in the second quarter as well - one a Penalty stroke by Jugraj and the other a stunning field goal from Karthi, to race to a 4-1 lead.

AUSTRALIA ARE SHELL SHOCKED!

IND 4-1 AUS

26' - KARTHI SCOREESS!

He is playing just his 10th international match, but it does not matter. Karthi Selvam receives a through ball, then dodges a defender before firing a shot just from outside of the circle to the top right corner. No chance there for the Kookaburra goalkeeper. INDIA CONTINUE TO ROLL ON!

IND 4-1 AUS

24' - GREEN CARD, VINSHUKANT!

Vishnukant Singh is shown the green card and India are down to 10 men for 2 minutes.
