That's it from us today. Join us again when India play Ireland on the 26th, this is Subhashish signing off!!!!

INDIA VERY NEARLY CAUSED A MASSIVE UPSET BUT IN THE END THE PRESSURE FROM ENGLAND PROVED TO BE A BIT TOO MUCH. THE ENGLAND SUPPORTERS ARE RELIEVED, AND THE INDIANS CAN BE PROUD OF WHAT THEY JUST ACHIEVED. THE INDIAN DEFENDERS WERE BRILLIANT AND SUNITA LAKRA USED HER STICK TO MANUFACTURE A GOALLINE SAVE. ONE POINT IT IS FOR BOTH TEAMS, AND THE INDIANS SHOULD BE THE HAPPIER ONES FOR THE SHEER EFFORT THEY PUT IN!!!
