    END OF THIRD QUARTER!

    The third quarter comes to an end and Belgium are in control, having broken the deadlock early in that quarter. Craig Fulton and his boys need to pull some magic out of thin air to have a shot at the title with just 15 minutes left.

    IND 0-1 BEL

    42' - India err in another PC!

    Abhishek earns India a penalty corner and they make a meal out of it. Vivek Sagar Prasad fails to trap the injection as the ball bounces over him.

    35' - India miss PC!

    A massive scare for India there. They earn a penalty corner and the drag flick is blocked. There's chaos in front of the goal but Belgium somehow manage to escape unscathed and then create a counter attack.

    The Indians are caught napping and they are short a man on defence. The Belgian striker is open and he takes a shot. Thankfully for India, it goes wide.

    IND 0-1 BEL

    34' - BELGIUM SCOREEE!

    India have been stunned. A good run on the right from Belgium, before they penetrate via the base line. The ball is crossed to Thibeau Stockbroexx, who makes no mistake in slotting it in.

    IND 0-1 BEL

    HALF TIME!

    End of the first half and the deadlock continues to remain. India grew in confidence in the latter part of the second quarter but weren't able to do any damage.

    22' - Solid defending from India!

    A brilliant move from the left by Belgium as they penetrate the circle from the baseline. India has it in control and intercepts it at the correct time to avert any danger.

    IND 0-0 BEL

    18' - Belgium look in control

    Still early days in the second quarter and Belgium look much more settled than India. They have enjoyed most of the possession this quarter so far.

    END OF FIRST QUARTER!

    That brings the end to the first quarter. Both teams had their chances but haven't been able to breach the defensive units. 

    An exciting 15 minutes of play up next.

    IND 0-0 BEL

    15' - Belgium miss PC!

    Good stuff from Belgium as they penetrate from the right and push the ball into the feet of Yashdeep Siwach. It's a first penalty corner of the match for them.

    They've scored only 9/34 penalty corners in this campaign and it is no different this time around. Alexander Hendrickx's drag flick, much like Jugraj's, is off target.

    IND 0-0 BEL

    13' - Good defending from India

    Solid defending right at the top of the circle from India as Belgium tries to penetrate. A free hit handed to Belgium and they take it quickly and enter the circle but even that is intercepted cleanly by the Indian defence.

    IND 0-0 BEL
