Commonwealth Games 2022, Women's Hockey LIVE: India face England - Updates, Results, Blog

22' - Another PC missed!

Second PC of the contest for India and they miss again. Deep Grace Ekka took the responsibility in absence of Gurjit and she looks for a deflection which never came.

Another chance gone down for India. 

20' - Good defence from England

A stunning press and steal from India before they enter the D. The English defence, however, stays compact and doesn't allow Neha Goyal to take a shot. Danger averted seamlessly.

18' - Monika's shot goes wide

Monika penetrates single handedly from right and takes a backhand shot. It is just a bit high. That was a brilliant display from Monika.

END OF FIRST QUARTER!

That's the end of the first quarter. England started off well, scored early and have the lead, but it would be foolish to rule India out of this yet. The Indian women have come close a couple of times and were unlucky to not have equalised. 

A lot of play for in the remaining 45 minutes!

15' - India misses PC!

A PC with just 6 seconds remaining and Gurjit Kaur hits it straight to the goalkeeper Maddie Hinch. That's a chance gone begging as the referee does not allow a rebound either due to a foul.

12' - Stunning save from Maddie Hinch!

India penetrate from the right side and almost seemed to have beaten the English goalie, but Maddie Hinch backtracks and deflects the ball away inches from the goal-line. That was just amazing work from the goalie.

The Indians thought they had scored and reviewed and are proven wrong. Not a good start this for India.

10' - Good defence from India

A brilliant counter from England, but India have it under control, courtesy a good clear from Gurjit Kaur.

India trails 0-1

A poor start for India as England strike early to go 1-0 up.

IND 0-1 ENG
