FULL TIME Uttar Pradesh Wizards 4-4 Dabang Mumbai

Mazzilli injects and it is WIDEEEEE from Peillat

RETAKE

Dabang Mumbai refer the call but it goes to waste. Mazzilii injects but the control is poor and they try for a field goal

PENALTY CORNER!!! Would you believe it? At the last moment of the game, UPW get a PC

A minute remaining in the game here and it looks as if both teams are going to share the spoils

ALMOST!!! Krishan Pathak shows why he is so highly rated. Akashdeep SIngh is fed by Mazzilli, who threads his teammate through and the former forces a great save from Pathak

VR Raghunath has led from the front for UP Wizards and he will be happy with how his boys have performed today

10 minutes remaining in the game here and Uttar Pradesh Wizards look like they have more of a chance of scoring.

Delightful to see students in the crowd and interacting with the broadcasters.

SAVED!!!! Krishan Pathak is tested straight away as Akashdeep takes a vicious reverse hit.

Uttar Pradesh Wizards start the fourth quarter on a bright note and the game is quite open. They move forward again

Quarter 3 comes to an end

A couple of minutes remain in the third quarter and we are yet to see a goal here.

OUCH!!! Ramandeep lets fly and his hit stings Sunil Yadav. The Dabang Mumbai player is back up soon though

Uttar Pradesh are really good at breaking on counter attacks and even when they lose the ball, they manage to fall back with ease

Strangely, we have seen 8 goals today but no penalty corners

Roelant Oltmans on the sidelines giving instructions to Akashdeep Singh.

Halfway through the third quarter and we are still level here at 4-4

Ajay Yadav has been a bright spark for UP Wizards today and Roelant Oltmans would be delighted with the youngster's perfomance

There is no sense of urgency in the way Dabang Mumbai are playing and rightly so. They do not need to take any risks and unnecessary look for goals

Uttar Pradesh Wizards are playing carefree attacking hockey here and they are looking for goals

SAVED!!! David Harte saves a shot from Ockenden. This is excellent hockey from UP WIzards

The ball is with Dabang Mumbai but Uttar Pradesh are pressing really high.

PEEEEPPPPPPPP

We are ready to go for the second half!!

HALF TIME Uttar Pradesh Wizards 4-4 Dabang Mumbai

Uttar Pradesh Wizards are now rotating the ball around and this is lovely hockey from the home team. They have been solid in attack but a bit loose in defence

This has been an exciting game and pretty open as both teams know they do not have much to lose.

Lovely hockey from Affan Yousuf to dribble past a couple of defenders but he cannot get away the shot

Green Card for Ramandeep Singh

GOAL DISALLOWED!! Akashdeep somehow puts the ball back in the net but referee disallows.

This is a crazy contest and we are seeing end-to-end play from both teams here.

GOOOOOOALLLLLLL Manpreet SIngh scores for Dabang Mumbai and the away side are level

This is stunning hockey from Ramandeep Singh as he receives a pass from Raghunath, drags a defender away and hits it past Harte.

GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLL Ramandeep Singh scores and Uttar Pradesh Wizards lead 4-2

Quarter 2 begins

Quarter 1 ends

Dabang Mumbai have equalised immediately and this has become a really interesting contest.

GOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL Gurjant Singh scores for Dabang Mumbai 2-2

Ajay Yadav has scored for Uttar Pradesh Wizards

GOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLL Uttar Pradesh lead 2-0

Even a draw is going to see Uttar Pradesh Wizards through to the final. It is only if Dabang Mumbai beat them by a huge margin will Ranchi Rays get a look into this.

Nothing substantial has happened in the game till now and it has been just Uttar Pradesh keeping possession.

Akashdeep and Ramandeep Singh link up to get a ball forward.

Dabang Mumbai get us underway and they are attacking from right to left and they string together a few passes before conceding a free hit to Uttar Pradesh.
