The lead is up to 12 and with just a couple of minutes left, now it is a question of just how much India will win by, having all but assured themselves of the 10th place.
Goalkeeper Atul does a brilliant job by first saving a strong shot but them makes an even better play but getting the ball to Ramesh, who converts on the fast break. The lead is now back at 10.
The hosts bring the lead down from double digit to just nine. With just over 10 minutes to go, they need to go on a scoring spree. Instead it is Davinder who brings up his 11th goal.
It is all happening in this game. A suspension for the Indian bench followed by three goals in the space of a minute followed by a time-out by Indonesia. With 18 minutes left on the clock, India lead by 10.
What a move by Indonesia and an excellent lob following a turnover means that the lead is down to just one with seven minutes left in the first half. Indonesia 11 - 12 India.
Immediately after the time-out, India score to get the lead back up to three and it is that man, Davinder Singh, who gets his sixth. On his own he is just two behind the entire Indonesian side.
Now it is a time-out called by India. The hosts are still trailing by two but India's defence has been woeful and the coach is unsurprisingly animated.
India still lead by three and anytime Indonesia bring it down to two, India seemingly just go down the other and pick up another goal. Right now the score is 10-7 to India.
Indonesia have basically relied on two players to remain in this game so far. Thankfully Rafael has scored four while the keeper has made several stunning saves to ensure that India are not running away with this game.
The Indonesian goalkeeper has decided to take matters into his hands as he makes a couple of brilliant saves in the space of a few second to ensure that the lead is still just three.
Davinder Singh and Viktorius Rafael Tolang both have four apiece so far but while India have supported Davinder ably so far, Rafael hasn't got as much help.
India have been exceptional in attack so far and lead 6-5 after eight minutes and 15 seconds. The Indonesian goalkeeper hasn't really been given much of a chance with some of the shots have India have taken so far.
An excellent double save from the Indian keeper, who first got completed an excellent reflex save before saving another with his feet in quick succession.
Each team consists of seven players, including a goalkeeper. Outfield players can touch the ball with any part of their body above the knee and this will be two halves of 30 minutes. That is a little bit of background information for the uninitiated.
