10:45 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

That's it from us. Join us again tomorrow at 12:30 pm when India take on Malaysia.

10:43 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

IND will be at the bottom of the table after DAY 1 action after New Zealand and Malaysia played out a draw.

10:30 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

And that's it. IND loses the first game.

10:29 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

1 min remaining now. AUS killing time and takes into the corner.

10:29 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

2 minutes remaining in the game.

10:28 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

IND moving the ball around. And Rupinder's slap in to the box is wide.

10:28 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

A slap forward from Rupinder Pal Singh. But Talwinder misses it completely.

10:27 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

4 minutes to go and India desperately looking for a goal.

10:25 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

IND has the possession and looking for the equaliser.

10:23 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

6 minutes to go.

10:23 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

IND back in the game. Rupinder Pal Singh with his second.

10:22 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

AND GOAL!!

10:22 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

PC for IND

10:21 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

But that was a great challenge from Sardar and an equally brilliant save from Chikte who dove backwards like David Seaman to pull out a brilliant save.

10:20 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

Raghunath with an awful error at the back and should have been punished for it. 

10:20 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

WHAT A SAVE! Chikte turns into Superman.

10:19 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

India on the counter. Great skills from Talwinder but Affan Yousuf at the end of it fails to get a shot off on the reverse.

10:18 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

However, Hayward hits it wide this time.

10:18 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

Another PC for AUS. But unfortunate. It hit the foot of the Australian player.

10:17 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

Australia's high pressing game have got India scurrying.

10:16 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

We are underway in the fourth quarter.

10:12 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

The win in the ACT would have given them a huge lift. But that now seems to be in the past.

10:11 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

This is going to be such a big blow for India who have the strongest side in the competition as others have opted to experiment.

10:11 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

And that's it. 3rd quarter comes to an end.

10:10 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

Sardar Singh now has to go. Green card shown to the talisman. IND now down to 10 in the closing minutes.

10:09 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

1 minute remaining in the 3rd. IND need to respond soon. Or else this one is a goner.

10:09 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

Deflection took the ball up, which was saved by Chikte. But Trent Mitten first to the ball and smashes it home from an acute angle.

10:08 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

This is getting disappointing.

10:07 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

And AUS score again. 

10:07 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

2 from 2 so far from PC.

10:07 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

Great chance for Australia. Chikte however did great to close down but the result is PC.

10:05 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

Surender Kumar smashes one high. And that was as dangerous as it gets. Everyone had to take evasive actions.

10:04 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

4  minutes to go in the 3rd quarter.

10:03 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

IND have to spring into action. High pressure from Australia and that is paying dividends.

10:02 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

Trent Mitten nearly makes IND pay again. Stolen and another shot on goal. But over the goal.

10:02 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

IND unlucky there. Could have had a PC pf their own. But no referrals here.

10:01 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

And every time Chikte makes anything near a small mistake, we are reminded of Sreejesh's absence.

09:59 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

Probably should have been saved. But Hayward won't mind. 2 for Hayward and 2 for AUS.

09:59 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

And it's 2 from 2. Australia take the lead.

09:58 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

Another big test for Chikte in goal.

09:58 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

AUS have scored 1 from 1 so far.

09:58 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

Good pressure from the Australians. And that has led to a PC yet again!

09:57 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

5 minutes have flown by and nothing doing from either of the teams.

09:56 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

India have to look to get the players like Affan Yousuf, Akashdeep and Amir Khan a lot on the ball.

09:55 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

We are back underway here.

09:43 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

And there it is. End of first half. All square here. All to play for in the second 30 minutes.

09:42 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

Attack by the Australians. Hits the post and goes out.

09:41 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

Affan Yousuf with the chance again. But crowded out.

09:41 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

Pollard and Dawson collide and the give India a good chance.

09:40 (GMT)23 NOV 2016

2 minutes remaining in the first half.
