The Chinese have shown good ability so far in💮 the game and they get a PC now. Not a very good drag there from the Chinese drag flicker. An opportunity lost for China. The drag was fumbled and the shot had absolutelꦅy no power. India clear.

1' India Take Lead!!!!

Brilliant deflection from Sukhjeet Singh at the goal mouth and India have taken a lead. China were able to hold off India till now but this is a moment of brilliance from Sukhjeet.

There is the bumper. The first qꦐuarter is over and while China have done really well in the first fifteen minutes, it is Indi🐟a who are ahead.

Second quarter begins. India are on the lead but China have looked real🅺ly good so far. India would like to build on this lead and China on the other hand would like to continue on their good work.

10' India have started positively in the second quarter and China have looked a bit off-colour. Two circle penetrations so far for the Indian side in thiওs quarter in ꧒the first five minutes but no further inroads.

Uttam Singh finds the ball on rebound in the Chinese cirle. Takes his time. Finds the hole in the defence and smashes the ball to the right of the Chinese goalkeeper. Straight into the goalpost. Indi🍰a double their lead and it is Uttam Singh who has scored th🐲e goal.

1' India miss a chance.

India make a circle entry and a couple ♏of Indians were in the hunt for the ball in front of an empty goal post as the goallie was on the ground after clearing the ball. But it is the Chinese who take control of the ball and now the danger is averted for the hosts.

It is the half-time and India have doubled their lead. Two goals in two quarters and India are now in a strong positio𓃲n in their opening Asian Champions Trophy encounter.

The second half begins and yet again it is India who have started aggressively. Within a minute, India have scored. It is Abhishek who has slamme𒈔d a strong backhand right into the Chinese goalpost.

No conversion though. India continꦿue to hover around the Chinese goalpost but penalty corners have not been successful so far. Just two PCs so far but no conv꧂ersion.

3' China get a PC

China finally make 💙a great attack through a long ariel b🐎all and some error from Harmanpreet Singh. China handed a PC here.

But C𝔉hina fail to convert. A very powerful shot but off target totally and Chines෴e still continue to look for their first goal.

Quarter 3 is over. India continue to be in the lead. Three goals so far, one in each quarter from Indians. Sukhjeet Singh scored in the first, Uttam Singh the second and in the third quarter it was Abhish𒁃ek who got the goalpost.
