There cannot be many international hockey sides who have had a movie based on them, and the Indian women seem to have been taking some inspiration from Chak de India in the Junior World Cup in Boston, USA. In their First Round pool they finished second on goal difference, beating no less a side than Australia on the way. So they posed a grave threat when England met them in the first of their Second Round matches earlier today.
India seemed to have taken control early in the match and it was against the run of play that a cross was collected by Loren Sherer, who put the ball passed the Indian goalkeeper. England grew in confidence but both side's defences held firm and Sherer's goal was to be the only one of the match. Final score 1-0 to 
England
England were bolstered by the return of their captain Sam Quek (pictured), who has now recovered from injury. England's next match is against the USA, who incidentally were the only team to beat India in Round One The match is scheduled to be played tomorrow evening, so the results may not be available until some time on Monday in the UK.
