Dec 22, 2021, 16:47:13 IST

Dec 22, 2021, 16:45:08 IST

Just little over 5 mins

We have little over five minutes left in the final quarter. And India have a slender one-goal advantage. The third place match couldn't have been more exciting. Meanwhile, Pakistan have earned themselves a penalty corner.

Dec 22, 2021, 16:30:33 IST

GOAL! INDIA EQUALISE

Sumit scores with just three seconds remaining in the quarter! Pakistan GK Amjad Ali is in disbelief. After a highly disciplined performance from Pakistan defence throughout the whole quarter, they lose focus in the final seconds and India pounce on the opportunity. Gursaahibjit Singh crosses it brilliantly as he makes the way despite being surrounded by two green sticks. Sumit does the rest of the work in front of the goal.

India 2-2 Pakista at the end of 3rd quarter

Dec 22, 2021, 16:27:30 IST

Hardik on the move

A dangerous cross from Hardik but maybe too much power on it as it goes past all the sticks inside the striking circle. India with more urgency in the past few minutes and justifiably so

Dec 22, 2021, 16:25:37 IST

Good defending again

And Pakistan evade the danger again. The scoreline remains 1-2 in favour of the men in green.

Dec 22, 2021, 16:22:55 IST

Dec 22, 2021, 16:21:07 IST

Attack by Pakistan

Pakistan attack from the flank as the player gets past two defenders and strikes at the goal but a brilliant save by the keeper as the score stands IND 1-2 PAK. Meanwhile, Manpreet Singh is back. Can he make the difference here?

Dec 22, 2021, 16:19:12 IST

India try to reclaim possession

India try to reclaim position and try to equalise things here. But some solid defending by Pakistan doesn't allow India to penetrate through the circle. The ball is currently with Indian players but in their own half.

Dec 22, 2021, 15:58:59 IST

Penalty corner for India

India have an 8th PC at the stroke of halftime.

Dec 22, 2021, 15:55:02 IST

Drama in the final seconds

Pakistan's appeals for the penalty corner were denied after referee claims that they were too late in their referrals, and India immediately counter-attack. Whistle blows for a penalty corner and it ischecked whether the penalty corner was given before or after the first half hooter was sounded

Dec 22, 2021, 15:51:49 IST

Green card for Pakistan

Second green card in the quarter as Yaqoob is suspended. Pakistan to finish the first half with ten men.

Dec 22, 2021, 15:47:27 IST

India drawing Pakistan defenders wide

A green card for Hardik and he will have a two-minute suspension.

Dec 22, 2021, 15:34:40 IST

IND 1-1 PAK, 1st quarter

The first quarter comes to an end. A close end to the quarter which began with India dominating the proceedings. Pakistan came back strongly after the equaliser as India continued to defend in numbers towards the closing stages.

Dec 22, 2021, 15:32:52 IST

India defending in numbers as quarter draws to close

Focus on maintaining the scoreline rather than searching for a late goal in the first quarter.

Dec 22, 2021, 15:32:04 IST

PC saved!

India make the counter but it is halted. Poor penalty corner from Pakistan.

Dec 22, 2021, 15:31:36 IST

Penalty corner for Pakistan

A first for Pakistan. They've been defending nicely and retrieved the ball briliantly after creating pressure on India captain Manpreet Singh in their half before attacking the Indian defence. Shaqeel wins the PC.

Dec 22, 2021, 15:28:11 IST

Penalty corner for India; a little over four minutes remaining

And that's good defending from Pakistan's Razzaq. It was initially adjudged another penalty corner for India, but the Greens take a video referral.

IND 1-1 PAK

Dec 22, 2021, 15:24:08 IST

Pakistan score! IND 1-1 PAK

That's poor defending. Pakistan equalise. From nowhere, Pakistan have drawn level as Arfraz scores for the men in green. A total defensive lapse from the Indians inside the circle.

Dec 22, 2021, 15:21:33 IST

India's relentless attack continues

Harmanpreet lofts the ball in the air for Shamsher to receive it marginally outside the striking circle. Shamsher drafts it in for Gurinder but the ball dodges past every Indian hockey stick inside the circle for a long corner. Pakistan eventually retrieve the ball back.

Dec 22, 2021, 15:15:00 IST

GOAL! India lead 1-0

FINALLY! Harmanpreet Singh gives India the first goal! 8th goal for Harmanpreet in this tournament. He is set up by Gurinder and then drags the ball brilliantly through the left goalpost.

Dec 22, 2021, 15:14:26 IST

Four penalty corners in a row!

India haven't been able to convert their penalty corners but it has been an impressive start. Shamsher and Jarmanpreet on point!

Dec 22, 2021, 15:12:11 IST

Two penalty corners in the opening 100 s

Within a minute, India have their first penalty corner.

Dec 22, 2021, 15:10:10 IST

Not the match both teams would've preferred to play in; regardless, with the bronze medal at stake, the action begins!

India in whites, Pakistan in greens.

Dec 22, 2021, 15:05:18 IST

‘We let ourselves down’: Reid

"We let ourselves down. We didn't play with energy that we are trying to do. The idea is to come out with energy and make amends. Today is an opportunity for us to learn from yesterday and bring our professionalism."
