46' - GOAL! Aran Zalewski equalise right at the start of the final quarter to give this one a very interesting note in the end. This one will go to the penalty shootout if none of the two teams score after this.

India 2-2- Australia

One minute into the Final Quarter and the @Kookaburras have found an equalizer!

A great deflection by Aran Zalewski! 🇦🇺

END OF Q3! Australia have a goal cancelled again after video referral deemed the initial flick too high. Much did not happened in this half and the scoreline remained unchanged.

India 2-1 Australia

31' - Australia have another goal cancelled after the referee sent the decision upstairs following Manpreet's intervention (India did not have a referral). Jeremy Hayward found the back of the net but his initial flick was deemed to be too high and the goal was ruled out.

India 2-1 Australia

END OF Q2! It was a shower of goals at the Kalinga Stadium in the second quarter and the crowd surely enjoyed that! Australia took the lead through Trent Mitten but India struck back by converting two penalty corners through Rupinder Pal Singh and Harmanpreet Singh and went into a 2-1 lead.

India 2-1 Australia

27' - GOAL! Another penalty corner, another conversion for India but this time, from a different man! And the crowd has gone berserk. For the first time in these two matches, India have the lead. Harmanpreet Singh converts the penalty corner with finesse to give the lead to India.

India 2-1 Australia

And Harmanpreet gets us in front. C'MMON!!!!!!!!!!!#IndiaKaGame #FIHProLeague #INDvAUS #HockeyInvites #HockeyAtItsBest https://t.co/dwQsa40h2p

25' - GOAL! Rupinder Pal Singh converts the penalty corner for India with a powerful strike to bring India back on level terms. India have looked more assured today and that is yielding results.

India 1-1 Australia

23' - GOAL! Trent Mitten gives Australia the lead and that's a very soft goal to concede for India. Krishan Pathak was beaten on his near post, Mitten had a tiny space to find there and he managed to find it. Disappointing keeping from Pathak.

India 0-1 Australia

17' - CHANCE! India have a big early chance after a cross from the right reaches a completely unmarked Jarmanpreet on the far post. He takes it first time and hits it wide.  That was India's biggest chance of the match so far and a golden one.

India 0-0 Australia

A lovely effort by @jarmanpreetsi13 but the deadlock remains.

END OF Q1! The scoreline remains unchanged. Australia had the goal overturned with a successful Indian review but then the hosts took another referral and lost it. PR Sreejesh came up with a few good saves to deny Australia any lead.

India 0-0 Australia

12' - India take another review for dangerous play against Australia and after a very long check by the umpire, India lose their referral as there was no clear evidence for the on-field decision to be changed. And Australia have a penalty corner and PR Sreejesh gets on the floor and makes another save.

India 0-0 Australia

8' - Penalty corner No.3 for India and after a melee around the goal, Australia found the back of the net. However, India went for a review for obstruction against Sreejesh and it was a successful one as the goal was nullified and India kept their referral.

India 0-0 Australia

1' - Australia earn a penalty corner right after the start of the match and it could have been another quick start for the visitors but PR Sreejesh made a good save to keep the scores unchanged.

India 0-0 Australia

The second game of the FIH Hockey Pro League tie between India and Australia gets underway at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar. India lost the first game 4-3 on Friday and will be looking for a win today.

India 0-0 Australia
