WELL DONE TEAM INDIA

India's campaign, so full of heart, ends in heartbreak. The women are in tears. Rani is embraced by coach Sjoerd Marijne. Savita can't stop sobbing. It's the same person who stood brave and tall in front of the goal minutes ago. This is what sport does to you. This is what an Olympic medal means. The Indian women came so, so close to it. Closer than ever before. And that is a victory in itself.

Q4: India 3-4 Great Britain

Aug 6, 2021 8:28 AM IST

Q4: India 3-4 Great Britain

Great Britain take the lead. India thwarted one PC after another, but it was third time lucky for the Olympic champions. The one-player advantage has worked wonders for GB, and India have no one but themselves to blame for it. India will need to hang on till at least they're back to 11 on the field.

The final 15 minutes begins. Will we see a late flourish of goals or will we go to the shootouts?

Aug 6, 2021 8:17 AM IST

Q3: India 3-3 Great Britain

3-3 going into the final quarter. Another big quarter coming up for India. They will need to step it up to find the winner. Indian goalkeeper Savita Punia has had to pull off innumerable saves to keep India in the game in the third quarter. And she'll need to be on the ball right till the final hooter.

Aug 6, 2021 8:17 AM IST

Q3: India 3-3 Great Britain

Aug 6, 2021 8:08 AM IST

Q3: India 3-3 Great Britain

Salima Tete is troubling Indian defence. She is 19 years old -- India keeping possession. If they get a goal here, it would put pressure on Britain.

GOALLLL! But another shot inside the goal by Pearne-Webb and this one was not saved. Britain equalise. Great Britain level it up, and it looked like it was coming with the way the second half started. India are again playing like they did in the first quarter of the first half. They need to pick it up, just like they did minutes ago.

Aug 6, 2021 7:59 AM IST

Q3: India 3-2 Great Britain

Recap of Q2:


It's been a dream last five minutes for India. They get the first goal, then the equaliser, then the third goal the puts them ahead in a jiffy. Gurjit Kaur has been spectacular with her powerful dragflicks, while Vandana Katariya has given India more reason to cheer. After playing catch up for most of that first half, India suddenly found a lot of life, and goals, in the fag end of the half. GB will sure come out with more purpose in the second half. Can India hold on to this crucial lead?

Q2: India 1-2 Great Britain

Recap of last three minutes:


India are down to 10 women due to a moment of indiscipline by Nisha in the midfield. And that's enough for Britain to pounce. They find more space in the Indian half, and double their advantage with a brilliant tomahawk.

But India respond almost immediately, earning a penalty corner at the other end. This time they try no variations. Gurjit Kaur delivers a thundering flick to pull one back for the Indians. A very timely goal for the Indians there.

Aug 6, 2021 7:33 AM IST

Q2: India 1-2 Great Britain

India resisted for the first quarter, but it didn't take much time in the second quarter for GB to take the upper hand. The goal, unfortunately, coming off an Indian stick. The reigning Olympic champions might be all the more dangerous now.
