  IND vs ENG LIVE Score, FIH World Cup 2026: Of the first two quarters. Both teams are a bit defensive. Which is understandable. Any goals at this stage can prove to be costly. Defence becomes priority. England earn a PC in the meantime but again nothing comes of i

  IND vs ENG LIVE Score, FIH World Cup 2026: India have been on the backfoot in this quarter. It's going to be a long break. This has been totally England's quarter. India couldn't keep up their first-quarter intensity. They are lucky they have not conceded any goals.

  IND vs ENG LIVE Score, FIH World Cup 2026: Salima Tete's reverse shot is stopped by England goalkeeper. That was a good opportunity. Could have been a better angle though. And shortly after India miss another PC. England counterattack and earn a PC. Nothing comes of it.

  There is one more for England as the ball hits the foot of an Indian player in the box. Another one given after a foul! Another miss. Both teams have been extremely wasteful today.

  IND vs ENG LIVE Score, FIH World Cup 2026: Second quarter underway

  IND vs ENG LIVE Score, FIH World Cup 2026: Who is going to break the deadlock? England after being clueless in the first few minutes of the first quarter are looking good in the second quarter. This is not good news for Team India but then they have only themselves to blame. They should have been up by two goals at least. And just as we wrote that, they missed another close opportunity.

  IND vs ENG LIVE Score, FIH World Cup 2026: It's Deepika the culprit. Wide of the target again. And shortly after England win their first PC. Let's see what happens. Guess what? They miss it too. Good defence work from Jyoti. Shortly after Owsley missed a sitter. She had the entire goal to herself, in a manner of speaking, but she missed the target.

  IND vs ENG LIVE Score, FIH World Cup 2026: India good so far

  IND vs ENG LIVE Score, FIH World Cup 2026: India wasted the penalty corner but to their credit they have controlled the game so far. Remember, India need a point but England will have to win to advance to the next stage. Another penalty for India at 08:10 of the first quarter. It has started raining by the way. Navneet misses another chance. Second miss, this time it was wide of the target.

  IND vs ENG LIVE Score, FIH World Cup 2026: India can top the group

  IND vs ENG LIVE Score, FIH World Cup 2026: China, current leaders, have a goal difference of 6. It's 5 for India. So if India wins this game, say by 2-0, they will displace their neighbours at the top. Basically, if England Women score two goals, India need to score 4 to displace China. If the goal difference stays level, in that case India need to score three or more goals to take over China's total goals. They have scored 11; India have scored 8. As simple as that.
