END OF FIRST QUARTER
The end of the first 15 minutes of play, and the Australians have the lead. India have been good, but they have not been able to convert. They have contained the Kookaburras' attacks well and have been able to hold on to the possession with some beautiful passes.
Still a long way to go in this contest and Graham Reid would want his men to continue the way they are playing.
IND 0-1 AUS
