The last minute of play saw Gonzalo Peillat of the UP Wizards build on a PC to take 3-0 win over the Jaypee Punjab Warriors!

FINAL 30 seconds of play - and it's all over as the visitors, Uttar Pradesh Wizards, take their second consecutive win!

No luck there.. it's 0-2 with just under 3 minutes of play in the match.

UP Wizards refer - but it's a stick tackle from UP's Raghunath, so they'll lose their referral and Punjab will get another penalty corner!

Thimmaiah keeps the ball in play - but a penalty corner given to the Jaypee Punjab Warriors!

With just under 7 minutes to go in the match, even if Jaypee Punjab Warriors get this, they will trail 1-2. Can they make up the deficit?

A referral to the video umpire - Jaypee Punjab Warriors, who had referred, keep their referral - and get a penalty corner!

Jaypee Punjab Warriors' keeper Tristan Clemons comes far out of his goal to make a tackle and save a goal for his team!

Final quarter of the match! The visitors lead the home side 2-0 thanks to Akashdeep's field goal!

Ramandeep shoots! And it doesn't go through.

Punjab Warriors' Gohdes BARRELS one into the goal - and it's a stunning save from PR Sreejesh who dives to save!

Chris Ciriello has problems - he's dealing now with a bloody nose with 6:30 left in the third quarter...and still no scores or capitalizations on penalty corners!

PC for the Jaypee Punjab Warriors! Ciriello gets the ball away, but can't get it all the way in.

India captain Sardar Singh of the Jaypee Punjab Warriors pushes back - and the 2nd half is now underway!

Whistle goes for half-time! Nobody has scored so far.

Jamie Dwyer takes a hit to the sternum and walks off the pitch! Final 30 seconds of the first half with both teams reduced to 10.

Jaypee Punjab Warriors are unable to capitalise on the PC, and it's still 0-0 with 6 minutes until half-time.

First penalty corner of the evening courtesy Nithin Thimmaiah!

Punjab's SV Sunil leads a charge through the UP defenders! He's unable to hold on, though.

Jamie Dwyer tries to dribble into the D - he's stopped by Ciriello! It's the UP Wizards who currently have possession with the Punjab Warriors looking to steal.

End of Q1: JPW 0-0 UPW.
Close shave for @UPWizards in the final minutes of Q1, but @16Sreejesh was up for it!#HIL2016
