END OF Q1: INDIA 1 - NZ 1
Rupinder missed a PC after hitting the crossbar - Kane Russell made no mistake with his. Rupinder restored parity with a stroke that resulted from a PC. Sreejesh somehow kept a bobbing ball out of the goal line - the referrals showed it somehow stayed out as well!!! It's all happening at the Oi Hockey Stadium.
Stay tuned for Q2 action!!
