India vs Australia hockey series: Match 2

Less than a minute left and it looks like Australia will take a lead in this series

The pressure's showing as India are handed their 2nd yellow card this quarter. This time it's the hero of the last game, VR Raghunath

It'll go down as Zalewski's goal, but the fact is India are behind with just about 10 minutes left, after leading in the first 3 quarters

And just like that Australia are ahead! India concede another late goal! This time it's from one of their own!

India's bane has returned! Jacob Whetton directs a pass past Sreejesh and through the posts

But India hold them of for another quarter and stay ahead! End of the 3rd and it's IND 1-0 AUS

Both teams holding each other, though Australia are getting dangerously closer and closer to the Indian post

Close shave for India in Q3 as an Australian shot on goal is missed!

End of the first half and India hold on to their narrow lead!

Excellent defense by India!

PC for Australia

And they score!! Devindar Walmiki with the deflection off a PC and India are ahead!!!

India on the attack

VR Raghunath concedes a penalty corner because of high-sticking in the circle, but the ever-reliable Sreejesh keeps it out

They're back on-field for the 2nd quarter

End of Q1. Scoreboard's still untouched.

Lots of pressure from both teams, though Australia seem the more attacking

SV Sunil with a fantastic run but he's stopped by the Aussie goalie.

Australia are attacking right away, breaching the Indian circle multiple times in the starting minutes of the game

Changes for both squads. PR Sreejesh starts as custodian in place of Harjot Singh and last game's brace-scorer VR Raghunath is on the bench

India were held to a draw after being on the verge of victory in the first match. They will look to better their performance with a win this time against world champs Australia.
