FULL TIME: Jaypee Punjab Warriors 2-6 Uttar Pradesh Wizards

He deserves to have his name on the score sheet here.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLL Akashdeep Singh scores with a roaring reverse hit. GAME SET MATCH

Uttar Pradesh Wizards almost score there as Akashdeep gets a ball in the circle but cannot control it

Last five minutes remain in the match here and it is UP Wizards, who look to be heading towards a win

Having said that, Punjab are just one field goal away from drawing back on level terms.

Varun Kumar has had a forgettable second half tonight and it pretty much sums up how his team have played

Akashdeep might not be on the scoreboard here but his work off the ball and movements have been superb tonight

Beautiful use of the entire turf from UP Wizards to string together some stunning passes but Punjab eventually get the ball away

A passage of attack and pressure from Punjab but nothing comes out of it. Utter lack of decisiveness from Punjab

Punjab have been really poor today and they do not look to be moving towards getting an equaliser.

Varun Kumar gets a Green Card for a back stick tackle

Punjab Warriors need to show intent here but it is UP Wizards, who attack and almost score there.

PEEP!! We are underway for the final quarter

Quarter 3 ends!!!

We are moving closer to the end of the third quarter and Punjab are looking for answers.

Around three minutes remain in the third quarter and Punjab are looking pretty lack lustre.

Barry Dancer will be livid with his defence there and Oltmans, on the other hand, will be delighted with his youngsters

Ridiculous defending from Jaypee Punjab Warriors as a lapse in concentration hands Ajay a clear shot on goal and he makes not mistake

GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL Uttar Pradesh Wizards lead again and Ajay scores.

Ajit Pandey has shown good pace tonight but has not been able to link up with any of his teammates in the final third

Shamsher shows excellent stick work down the flank to win his team a long corner. UP Wizards have now woken up from their 30 second slumber, which saw them concede a goal

CHANCE!! Whetton misses yet again as he is free in the circle and gets a long pass from Varun Kumar but cannot control it. Wizards escape

Uttar Pradesh attack yet again and Ramandeep almost turns it in. Jaypee Punjab Warriors survive yet again.

ALMOST!!! Uttar Pradesh Wizards almost score as a lapse of concentration from Jaypee Punjab Warriors defence nearly hands a direct shot on goal to Akashdeep
