A PC for India and they try a variation. No co-ordination between the players there and a golden chance to seal the match goes begging.

49'- Australia miss PC, AGAIN!
An error from Manpreet this time hands Australia yet another PC. This time the dragflick is way wide off the post. The Indians defenders are not even bothered.

END OF THIRD QUARTER!
A school-boy error from Rabichandra as he hangs his stick in the air inside the circle gifts Australia a PC in the dying moments of the third quarter. Pawan, however, stands tall once again to block and deny the Kookaburras.

HALF TIME!
A very physical first half and India have dominated in a stunning fashion. After scoring twice in the first 15 minutes minutes via captain Harmanpreet, the men in blue struck twice in the second quarter as well - one a Penalty stroke by Jugraj and the other a stunning field goal from Karthi, to race to a 4-1 lead.
AUSTRALIA ARE SHELL SHOCKED!

26' - KARTHI SCOREESS!
He is playing just his 10th international match, but it does not matter. Karthi Selvam receives a through ball, then dodges a defender before firing a shot just from outside of the circle to the top right corner. No chance there for the Kookaburra goalkeeper. INDIA CONTINUE TO ROLL ON!
