13' - PC, INDIA!
A nice little pass from Hardik to Shamsher in the right flank. The latter passes to Mandeep, who earns India's first PC. Can they score?

10' - Hat-trick of PCs for England
Three back to back PCs for England, and India manage to emerge out of it unscathed. A total of 5 PCs in the first 10 minutes already for England - not the start India would have hoped for.

8' - No harm done
The first dragflick hits Manpreet on the foot, before the second is cleared away easily. India come on a counter, but that is thwarted as well by England.

8' - PC, ENGLAND!
A small error from Surender Kumar inside the circle, and India have conceded the first PC of the game.

7' - A lot of energy in the Indian camp
The crowd is right behind India with the chants of "India jeetega" and that is showing in the field as well. The men in blue are playing a very high press game at the moment.

4' - India looking dangerous
India with some early aggression as they come in from the right flank. They try to find a deflection in from the cross, but England intercept.

2' - Good start from India
India on the attack straightaway as they steal the possession and penetrate. Nearly a PC for India, but England defence handles it well.

1' - England start with possession
The crowd is so loud that Sam Ward did not hear the start whistle from the umpire. We are finally underway with England moving from left to right along with the possession.

The teams stride out
We are just moments away from start. Two equally balanced teams and a lot at stake for both, but India have the crowd right behind them. Will that prove to be the deciding factor?
