Hockey World Cup HIGHLIGHTS: India beat South Africa 5-2 - Updates, Results, Scores, Blog

36' - Much better from RSA

This is much better play from South Africa in the second half. They are constantly in asking questions and the ball has hardly left India's half.

34' - YELLOW CARD, AMIT ROHIDAS!

A foul from Amit Rohidas inside the circle, but the on field umpire does not notice. South Africa ask for a review and are proven right. The TV umpire even asks the on field umpire to penalise Rohidas along with awarding a PC to South Africa.

Yellow card given and India is down to 10 men for 5 minutes. 

Meanwhile, South Africa miss the PC.

33' - PHATAK SAVES!

Yet another mistake from Varun and South Africa handed another PC. This time Krishan Phatak saves!

32' - MISSED!

A golden opportunity for South Africa to force their way back into the contest, but they miss.

32' - PC, SOUTH AFRICA!

Good start to the second half for South Africa as they earn a PC. Varun with the mistake inside the circle as the ball kisses his feet.

HALF TIME!

That also brings an end to the first half. India had multiple chances in the second quarter, but none converted. The men in blue have shown why they are superior side of the two but they would have loved to trouble the scorers more. They might also do themselves a favour by cutting down a bit on all the fancy stuff they are trying out in the middle.

IND 2-0 RSA

30' - Sreejesh blocks

Not the most threatening of moves from South Africa, but they eventually penetrate. A loose pass under pressure inside the circle and Sreejesh capitalises with an easy clearance.

28' - Jarmanpreet hits wide!

First, Abhishek with some beautiful solo skills inside the circle before the ball finds an open Jarmanpreet at the edge. The defender hits it wide off the near post.

South Africa living dangerously here.

26' - Harmanpreet MISSES!

Harmanpreet Singh, this time, hits it straight to the goalkeeper. South Africa emerge unscathed yet again.
