India leads!
India goes into the mid-game break with a comfortable 11-8 lead. Ponnappa and Reddy have come out and been aggressive in the second game and this has put the Spaniards a bit off. Can the Indians force this into a decider?

Sikki Reddy and Ashwini Ponnappa showing some aggression currently. This was completely missing in the first game. They lead 6-3.

Lucky!
That hits the net and just tips over. Lucky for Ponnappa and India, not so much for Spain. India leads 4-2.

21-18
Azurmendi and Corrales take the first game 21-18 in 20 minutes.
That was a horror show from the veteran Indian pair. I have lost the count of number of errors they committed in that game. India has surely won the tie, but this is not the kind of performance you expect from someone like Ponnappa and Reddy. Can they make a comeback?
