Winning moment, as seen from the stands by Avishek Roy, our correspondent in Tokyo, witness to history

Hats off, Mr. PR Sreejesh. That final save off the PC was stuff of legends. And he indeed is one. This entire team is. To come back from 1-3 down to win in that fashion is incredible. So is this triumph. A major part of the current Indian generation would've only heard of the great hockey tales. Now, they get to see one. That's the significance of this win.

India players are celebrating on the turf, and emotional players are celebrating on the turf in Tokyo. Sreejesh's best save in the dying seconds gave India the medal.

A medal for Indian hockey. After 41 years. After 41 long years. Let that sink in. Take your time. It's been that long.

PC! SAVE BY SREEJESH!

Just less than 2 minutes left. Can India hold on and reap dividence. Free hit -- hit out for India. Great defending.

PC to Germany! Germany are distraught that they are unable to score --- varitaion attempted by Windfeder. Not yielding fruit. With 2 minutes left

India really need to press much higher -- it could yield a penalty corner and it does. India defending too deep and conceding another penalty corner.

India have taken off their goalkeeper off with four minutes remaining to put an extra attacking body. Big, big call.

After a lot of debate over the ball possession, the two teams are fighting for the ball under the bully rule. Germany take the possession

Five minutes left -- India player is down in the circle. Sumit is rolling on the pitch in agony, he seems injured.

SAVE! Sreejesh makes a fantastic save from the PC - he dives on the correct side to make the save.

Big save by Sreejesh off the PC. The experienced Indian goalkeeper will have to stand really tall in the final five minutes of this game.

PC to Germany! Sreejesh charged on German player when a scoop was coming. India will not be happy about it.

Manpreet Singh has been taken down after a stick on his arm. He is injured and is off now.

CHANCE! Mandeep Singh was alone -- one on one with goalkeeper. But he took too much time to get the shot away, tries a tomahawk and the German goalkeeper makes the save. Will this hurt India?

YELLOW! Tobias Hauke has been given a yellow card for a challenge on Vivek Sagar Prasad. he is off for at least 5 minutes. Can India make the best of man advantage?

PC! GOALLLL! Windfeder gets his name on the scoresheet as he manages to get a goal back as India pay for the defensive error.

After several attempts, Germany finally score off a PC. Straight down the centre and right between Sreejesh's legs. India still with a one-goal lead, but will now have to hang on to it for their dear lives.

PC to Germany! Fucks found the leg of Indian defender, sloppy defence from India, Germany make the most of it.

The pace of Christopher Ruhr gives India defence a wake up call at the start of the fourth quarter. This is where the rolling substitutions comes in in the final quarter .

Start of the final quarter... can India retain lead to win the bronze medal?

End of fourth quarter -- fantastic save by Rupinder in defence. 15 minutes away from a medal.

Great job by the Indian defence in the dying minutes of that third quarter, thwarting the German attack and the multiple PC chances. India have a key two-goal lead going into the last quarter, which is significant. And they look like scoring more. Remember, Germany will press high now, leaving more room for quick counter-attacks by the Indians. Big, big 15 minutes coming up for Indian hockey.

PC! A variation from Germany, attempting it on a near post - Nicolas Wellen misses the goal. If it was on target, Sreejesh would have been late.

PC to GERMANY! Stick-check inside the circle, Germany are man down - Grambusch was shown the green.
