After the change of ends, England had the first chance in the form of another penalty corner in the 38th minute and another two minutes later, which eventually broke the deadlock.

Gillot neatly deflected in a perfect slap shot from skipper Sophie Hamilton to hand England the 1-0 lead. In the 53rd minute, India secured a penalty stroke for a stick tackle, and Kaur made no mistake from the spot. Three minutes later, India goalkeeper Savita made a brilliant saved with her extended left leg from a set piece. But minutes later, England secured another penalty corner and Howard deflected in Hamilton's slap hit. England Men슬롯사이트�s Hockey Team Arrives in Bhubaneswar for FIH Pro League 2024슬롯사이트�25 Matches.
