19' - Vivek finds the goal, but this won't count
Vivek Sagar Prasad takes a long shot to perfection. But, there is no one in the circle for a touch from India. The goalkeeper realises and this just lets the ball sail inside the post.
It is necessary for a touch inside the circle, thus this goal won't count.
17' - Poor from Harmanpreet
Harmanpreet fails to pick the drag. That was poor. Got no connection whatsover and it is an easy interception for Wales.
16' - PC, INDIA!
Abhishek fights for life dead in centre of the circle and finally manages to draw an error from Wales and earns a PC. First of the match, can India score?
END OF FIRST QUARTER
The hooter goes and curtains are drawn on the first quarter. Wales have been very solid in their defence and has not let India have any clear shot on the goal.
The men in blue, who desperately need goals, have been kept at bay in the first 15 minutes. Graham Reid will have a lot of talking to do during the short break.
IND 0-0 WAL
