And it's all over! With the home side, Lancers, leading for a significant portion, the Jaypee Punjab Warriors get TWO field goals to rout them 4-1.

Jaypee Punjab Warriors SCORE again! But that goal doesn't count..and so 4-1 is down to 2-1, but the visitors still lead.

It's not over yet! In the final quarter, Simon Orchard picks up a field goal for the Jaypee Punjab Warriors, who have now quickly taken the lead! 2-1 to the visitors now.

And yet again, it's Glenn Turner!

They get it! It's Kalinga Lancers who draw first blood with a penalty corner. They lead 1-0 with 2 and a half minutes left in the third quarter.

And the home side have been awarded a penalty corner for a high ball from the Jaypee Punjab Warriors!

Starring roles from the goalkeepers today, it seems! No score so far. Kalinga Lancers now ask for a referral.

Q3 is underway and Lancers again get the ball into the D with Turner striking - but no luck, still!

It's almost half-time and although the Lancers work the ball into the D and close to the goal, there's no luck for them!

Punjab's Baljit is cautioned by the referee for an elbow.

It's the end of Q1 and neither team has been able to score a goal or a penalty corner. Scores remain level at 0-all.

Best attack vs best defence! @KalingaLancers have scored the most goals (19) & @jaypeewarriors have conceded the least (16) in the #HIL2016!

Kalinga Lancers won their last tie - against the Delhi Waveriders, with tournament lead scorer Glenn Turner putting on a great show at that match as well.
