A minute and stoppage time to go. India confortaly heading towards the win.

Meanwhile India has mad two substitutions: Ridge and Givson OUT; Ravi Rana and Salio IN.

WHAT A SAVE! Niraj Kumar, who has been India's best player since their third goal gets down quickly to deny the Yemen forward a clear coal. Cat-like reflexes shown by Kumar to keep his clean sheet intact.

Little less than ten minutes to go in the half. Nothing much has happened since India's third goal.
