That's it from our coverage of the India Vs China game at the FIH Women's World Cup

Indian women had a decent start to the tournament, holding the Chinese team to a draw, increasing their chances of moving further.

Full time: India 2-2 China

India started its campaign with a fighting 2-2 draw against the Olympic medalist China in the first group match and earned their first points of the tournament.

The Indian team looked much better in the first half, maintaining their solid lines throughout, whether they were attacking or were in defensive play.

But then, China came back stronger in the third quarter and fully dominated the Indian defence, scoring an equaliser. India survived that spell and didn't concede any more goals.

In the final quarter, it was an end-to-end affair with both teams having a fair number of chances, but neither of the two was able to convert them.

End of Third Quarter: India 2-2 China

China dominated the third quarter, creating plenty of chances in front of the Indian goal, but they haven't really found clear-cut chances from open play thanks to some solid defensive lines.

However, they scored one goal in the quarter with Na Ning converting a penalty corner. India didn't have any chances in this quarter as most of the action took place in their own half.

India finally converted a penalty corner with Deepika taking the drag flick this time, although it wasn't a direct goal as Deepika's shot got a couple of deflections, making it tougher for the Chinese goalkeeper to judge.

Deepika was actually the one to win the penalty corner with a beautiful run from the right flank to win a foul in the Chinese circle.

India won its second penalty corner of the match, but once again Navneet had to take it, and she failed to clear past the front rusher on her drag-flick.

She won the ball on the rebound but then hit her own player, and the referee gave a free hit to China as she thought it was a dangerous ball.
