Punjab's Clemons saves both. It's all over as the Jaypee Punjab Warriors make the finals of the Hockey India League for the third year running!

The Delhi Waveriders will look to get the ball out of the D and rehit for a field goal score - but they can't!

A last minute penalty corner to the Delhi Waveriders! It looks to be a stretch for them to win, but can they narrow Punjab's lead?

Only 3 minutes to and the 2015 runners-up look set for a spot in the finals in the 2016 season!

5' in the final quarter and it's a penalty corner to the Jaypee Punjab Warriors! They score to take a 3-1 lead.

Delhi Waveriders have dominated possession in the second half, but have been unable to build on this.

Jaypee Punjab Warriors were finalists last year, and eventual runners-up to the Ranchi Rays, who will play the other semi-final today.

It's the final, deciding quarter. Who will be the first finalist at the Hockey India League 2016?

Punjab have one field goal to their credit, while Delhi have one penalty corner.

Two minutes to go in Q3 and Satbir Singh of the Jaypee Punjab Warriors is dominating possession! Delhi are a penalty corner away from equalising.

Delhi Waveriders have been pushing to equalise with a number of circle entries, and Surender and Rupinder both creating scoring opportunities. They're unable to pull it back, though.
