Stats from the match:

India to the semis. They will face the winner of Belgium vs France match.

Full Time: India 3-2 Malaysia.

SAVE!! Another brilliant save from Sreejesh and it is most likely India's win!

Penalty Corner stands and India lose their referral.

However, India have wisely used the referral here.

Penalty Corner for Malaysia here.

Akashdeep has been green carded and India are 1 man down.

GOAL! Jasjit scores again to give India the lead. Wonderful injection from @8_SardarSingh too! It's IND 3-2 MAL. #HWL2015 #IndiaKaGame

Malaysia are playing without a goalkeeper now to have an extra man in the outfield. 2 minutes remaining in the match.

3 minutes remaining now! India 3-2 Malaysia.

GOAL! Jasjit Singh gives India the lead.

PENALTY CORNER for India!

SAVE! Sreejesh somehow manage to keep out there.

Crucial deflection from Lakhra there. Still India 2-2 Malaysia.

If the score remains the same after the 2nd half, we will see a shoot-out.

End to end stuff now. 9 minutes remaining.

GOAL! Brilliant from Jasjit as he converts the penalty corner to get India right back into the match. It's IND 2-2 MAL #HWL2015 #IndiaKaGame

GOAL! 2-2. Jasjit Singh equalises!!!

Another Penalty Corner awarded to India and India keep retain their referral.

Nothing from it. But India have used their referral now.

PENALTY CORNER for India!

Tengku shown Green Card here. Malaysia down to 10 men now.

End of Q3. India 1-2 Malaysia. Last quarter coming up.

It's IND 1-2 MAL. Our boys are playing with intent but Malaysia hold on to their lead by showing good defense in Q3. #HWL2015 #IndiaKaGame

That was close. Luckily for India, the Malaysian attacker didn't get a touch near the goal.

2 minutes remaining in the Q3 now.

Great possession by India but shots on target is a worry.

Good defending by India and good counter-attacking play as well.

The game has opened up here.

8 minutes remaining in the third quarter. Still India 1-2 Malaysia.

What a save by the Malaysian goalkeeper! Akashdeep's save stopped! Great play by Indian midfielders there though.

Brilliant counter-attacking play by Malaysia. Gets really near to India's goal but Sreejesh saves it.

Both teams have started brightly. Nothing so far. Next goal will be really crucial here.

Paul van Ass: We'll push up and press higher. We will have to convert our chances #HWL2015

Half Time stats:

HT: IND 1-2 MAL. Malaysia go ahead in Q2 to put India under pressure here. Will India turn it around in Q3? #HWL2015 #IndiaKaGame

Half Time: India 1-2 Malaysia. We'll be back in 10 minutes.

29' The referee awards a penalty corner for @TheHockeyIndia, but Malaysia rightly refer and the PC is cancelled. #HWL2015 #HockeyWorldLeague

Malaysia have taken the referral and no PC for India.

Nothing from it but India have another Penalty Corner here.

Penalty Corner for India!

Just 3 minutes remaining in the first half. Can India equalise here?

Stats attack: India win only 33% matches if they are trailing at Half Time.

NO GOAL! The ball hits the net, but it was a slap shot and rules state that the ball has to hit the board in this case. #HWL2015

Goal! Shahril Saabah scores to give Malaysia the lead. It's IND 1-2 MAL. What will be India's response? #HWL2015 #IndiaKaGame
