Great start for India. That's two wins out of two. Pakistan started well and even got the first goal but once Manpreet equalised, India were pretty much unstoppable. Pakistan could not keep up with their quick attacks and in the end, they lost by a two-goal margin.
Sreejesh has walked off the court and Krishan Pathak takes his place. India just need to hold on now.
Pakistan have more possession but India are looking vicious on the counter. Manpreet and Mandeep were in the D for India with just two Pakistani defenders there but the latter manage to parry the danger away.
Oh, that is extraordinary. Mandeep takes two touches to keep the ball in possession, he has his back to the net and he flicks the ball backwards between his feet. It roles into the net.
For football fans, the word that describes it best would be gollazzo. Manpreet veered between two Pakistani players to enter the D through the centre before unleashing the shot. That was one hell of a goal.
Manpreet Singh's goal has reinvigorated the Indians. Pakistan have bested them for most of this half but after that goal, India have been a different beast. Can expect a few more goals if they keep this up.
India hounding Pakistan now. Nilkanta Sharma’s flick went just wide of the post after being set up beautifully by Mandeep’s cut-back. Close.
It is captain Manpreet who scores the equaliser for India. Pakistan give him space inside the D and he punishes them for it.
Mohammad Zubair almost hit the ball into the goal, the Indian defence looks a little lost at the moment.
India get another PC but nothing comes out of it. They are dominating possession but nothing meaningful has come out of it.
Pakistan win a PC and Mohammad Irfan Jr scores from it. That didn't take long and the Indians seem a little shell-shocked by that.
