That’s it from us tonight. Do join us tomorrow as India take on Argentina at 8.30 pm IST.

Not the greatest of starts for India in their Dutch mini-tournament. The forwards had a dismal outing today as they barely troubled the Dutch defence. Not a lot of time to reset for Fulton as they play three matches next over four days.

FT, India 1-4 Netherlands, Harmanpreet Singh: We were getting opportunities but we did not finish properly. We need to improve on finishing our chances in the next match. Defensively we intercepted a lot of balls. We were playing a half court and we were good structure-wise.

FT, India 1-4 Netherlands: A poor, poor outing for India. They begin their Dutch tour with a big loss to an inexperienced Dutch side.

Q4, India 1-4 Netherlands: Harmanpreet Singh misses! He goes the same way as his first goal and Blaak saves it. Not India’s day at all.

Q4, India 1-4 Netherlands: 26 seconds left and India win a penalty stroke for a stick check. Holland review and lose it.

Q4, India 1-4 Netherlands: To counter Hoedemakers’s rushing, Harmanpreet fakes his flick and reverses it to Rohidas who slaps it goalwards only for a Dutch stick to put it behind goal.

Q4, India 1-4 Netherlands: Telgenkamp scores! The Dutch hit on the counter and a beautiful through ball makes it a 3v1. With Manpret marking him, Telgenkamp unleashes a vicious reverse hit past Sreejesh into goal.

Q4, India 1-3 Netherlands: India hit the crossbar from point blank range. The ball ricochets off Mandeep and Gurjant smashes it at goal with only the keeper to beat. He somehow manages to hit hit the crossbar.

Q4, India 1-3 Netherlands: India’s forward has been missing tonight. Mandeep, Akashdeep and Lalit have barely had an impact so far.

Q4, India 1-3 Netherlands: After that initial period of pressure, India have fallen back. The Dutch just a bit quicker for the Indians here.

Q4, India 1-3 Netherlands: And another PC for India. Yet another drag-flick blocked by Hoedemakers. The Dutch counter and Sumit gives away a PC. Miles Bukkens’s attempt rolls just past the upright.

Q4, India 1-3 Netherlands: Sumit wins India another PC. Excellent rushing from Hoedemakers to block Harmanpreet’s drag-flick.

Q4, India 1-3 Netherlands: Harmanpreet moves over to the right castle. He goes across with his flick this time and just misses the post.

Q4, India 1-3 Netherlands: India begin the quarter with Jarmanpreet winning a PC. Harmanpreet’s drag-flick comes back off the first rusher. Hoedemakers refers it for dangerous play as he claims it hit above his knee. Unfortunately for him, there’s no conclusive proof. Another PC for India.

End of Q3, India 1-3 Netherlands: A really poor end to the quarter from India. Gurjant and Shamsher had two decent chances to give India the lead but they couldn’t take it. Mandeep Mor’s green card gave Netherlands the numerical advantage and they scored twice.

Q3, India 1-3 Netherlands: One brings two for the Dutch! With India down to 10, the Dutch spring on the counter. The ball is played to the unmarked Bijen on the right who plays it across. Harmanpreet Singh, the last man, gets the touch but cannot bring the ball under control. The lose ball falls to Telgenkamp who swats the ball from above the sliding Pathak.

Harmanpreet Singh, the last man, gets the touch but cannot bring the ball under control. The lose ball falls to Telgenkamp who swats the ball from above the sliding Pathak.

Q3, India 1-2 Netherlands: Burkhardt scores! India lose possesion and concede a PC. They then take too long to get ready and so have to defend the PC with just three outfield players and Pathak. Burkhardt puts his entire six-foot plus frame behind his drag-flick and fires the ball into the top corner!

Q3, India 1-1 Netherlands: Another chances goes begging! This time it is Jarmanpreet who comes in from the right and puts in a good pass. Shamsher is on his heels though and cannot move quick enough to get the touch which could have given India the lead.

Q3, India 1-1 Netherlands: Hoedemakers comes close again! From the centre of the circle, he fires in a powerful shot but it is saved well by Pathak.

Q3, India 1-1 Netherlands: Oh nearly the lead for India! Sumit drives into the circle from the right and flashes a good pass across goal. Gurjant, unmarked the far post, puts in a desperate dive but can only put the ball on the wrong side of the post.

Q3, India 1-1 Netherlands: Great play from the Dutch. Tjep Hoedemakers draws a good save from Pathak in goal after some good work by Duco Telgenkamp.

India 1-1 Netherlands, Craig Fulton: Tight game, too many turnovers. We had some opportunities which we should have taken.

Vinayakk: Half time and it is an evenly-poised contest in Eindhoven. India took the lead in Q1 but the hosts have hit back. Very entertaining for the neutrals, the coaches perhaps less so.

HT, India 1-1 Netherlands: No Jip Janssen so Boris Burkhardt steps up. His drag-flick hits Rohidas above the knee so India get the free out. And that is the last action of the half. An engaging first half of hockey.

Q2, India 1-1 Netherlands: Just over a minute left as India come away on the counter. The ball is switched from left to right quickly but Raj Kumar Paal is unable to control the ball and the Dutch spring the counter and win their first PC of the match

Q2, India 1-1 Netherlands: Lalit and De Mol Joep go for the ball and both do not see each other. Lalit clatters into a half-bent De and the Dutchman takes a blow to the side of his head. Takes a breather and is back on his feet.

Q2, India 1-1 Netherlands: Manpreet with another lovely aerial ball and find Shamsher on the right. He dribble along the goalline hoping to find a teammate close to goal but the Dutch defence ends the attack.

Q2, India 1-1 Netherlands: India unable to get on the ball so far. The Dutch looking dangerous every time they attack. Fulton’s men need to start imposing themselves.

Q2, India 1-1 Netherlands: Rohidas careless in possession and loses the ball to Koen Bijen. The Dutchman, with Dilpreet on his tail, goes the long way to get into the circle, Rohidas makes up for his error by winning back possession.

Q2, India 1-1 Netherlands: Pepijn Reyenga levels the scores! A beautiful over-head cross field ball finds Reyenga near the goal-line. The debutant brings it down, and with Akashdeep not allowed to close in, fires the ball into the bottom corner. Nothing Sreejesh could do about that. Solid response from the Dutch.

Q2, India 1-0 Netherlands: Normal service of goalkeeper rotation resumes as Sreejesh comes into replace Pathak in goal.

End of Q1, India 1-0 Netherlands: After taking their time to settle in, India end the quarter with a sustained spell in the Dutch half.

Q1, India 1-0 Netherlands: Mandeep nearly doubles the lead after being sent through by Hardik Singh. However, he sees the ball touched away by a Dutch defender just as he wound up to shoot.

Q1, India 1-0 Netherlands: Harmanpreet Singh gives India the lead! The captain comes off the bench to take the stroke and he sends Primin Blaak the wrong way to score his 17th goal of the season.

Q1, India 0-0 Netherlands: The inexperience comes out as the Dutch give away a PC. No Harmanpreet so it is Amit Rohidas and Jarmanpreet on the castles. At the second time of asking, Rohidas’s drag-flick is thwarted on the line, illegaly, by Reyenga. Penalty stroke for India!

Q1, India 0-0 Netherlands: The Dutch team today has a combined 472 caps. PR Sreejesh and Akashdeep Singh on the Indian bench have more than 500 between them. And yet it is the Dutch who are dictating play so far.

Q1, India 0-0 Netherlands: Harmanpreet with a cross-field overhead and find Manpreet who brings it down beautifully and smashes it goal-wards. Lalit is at hand to deflect it in goal but is beaten to the ball by a lunging Dutch defender.

Q1, India 0-0 Netherlands: The Dutch come out flying fashioning two decent chances to go ahead. India, however, stay solid.

Q1, India 0-0 Netherlands: India get the game started against a very inexperienced Dutch team featuring eight (!) debutants.

India vs Netherlands: Both teams are out on the field at the Oranje-Rood in Eindhoven. The pitch, thankfully, is green and not blue. Like last weekend, there is a minute’s silence for the victims of the tragic Odisha train accident.

India vs Netherlands, Craig Fulton: (On Europe tour so far) It is going well. The bestperformance was the response. We didn’t play well in the first game. (On his expectation from tonight) Performance first. If we get ahead, we will try and finish it like that.
