24' - GREEN CARD, JUGRAJ SINGH!
Just a minute later, Jugraj Singh joins Sharp on the bench for 2 minutes with a green card.
Australia take advantage and penetrate, but PR Sreejesh stands tall for India.
23' - GREEN CARD, AUSTRALIA!
A green card for L Sharp and Australia are down to 10 men for 2 minutes.
21' - Good defence from India
India stay calm and deflect the drag flick away. A long corner for Australia and they find a way to slot it in as well, but there was no deflection inside the circle. The goal does not count and Australia know it. They do not even bother to celebrate.
21' - PC, AUSTRALIA!
An error from Jarmanpreet hands Australia a PC - their first of the match.
END OF FIRST QUARTER!
End of the first 15 minutes of play, which undoubtedly India written all over it. A slew of PCs early on, one of which was converted by Vivek Sagar Prasad put the men in blue ahead.
From then on, an inch perfect zonal marking system by the defense has tied the Australians down.
IND 1-0 AUS
10' - India in control
India are dominating the proceedings early on in this contest. Good intensity in the field and they look eager to aggress.
5' - India miss again
Once again a poor trap means that India miss the PC. They do come close again causing a huge scramble just in front of the goal, but the Australians somehow manage to hold on.
5' - Excellent review from India
A back stick from an Australian defender inside the circle, but the umpire fails to spot it. Harmanpreet asks for a review and is proven right. Another PC for India.
5' - India misses three PCs!
Yet another PC for India. The first two attempts hit the feet of rushing defenders, before a very poor trap in the third means that India have wasted three PCs in a row.
2' - VIVEK SAGAR PRASAD SCOREESSS!
An early PC for India, thanks to a high stick inside the circle while trying to intercept an aerial pass by Australia. Harmanpreet's drag flick is blocked, but Vivek Sagar Prasad finds himself in a perfect position to take the rebound.
A sensational tomahawk and it crashes into the goal post. VIVEK SAGAR PRASAD SCORES IN HIS 100th INTERNATIONAL MATCH!
That is the first-ever PC goal for Vivek in his career!
IND 1-0 AUS
