HALF TIME!

That bit of play also brings curtains down on the first half. India started off well in the opening quarter, creating better chances but failed to convert.

China got into the rhythm towards the fag end of the first 15 minutes but Savita Punia kept India in the contest with a couple of good saves. The former Indian captain, however, couldn't stand tall for long.

Two penalty corners in the second quarter saw China convert to open up a 2-0 lead. They very nearly had a third as well but Punia ensured that she isn't beaten a third time.

A lot to ponder for the Indians in the half time break.
