The match against the Czechs was the first of two drawn matches, the second being a remarkable 8-8 draw against Russia this morning (Saturday). The match was remarkable for the fact that Ashley Jackson almost single handedly rescued the day for England at 8-3 down with a five goal blitz in almost as many minutes, with four of the five coming from penalty corners. Jackson's remarkable feat makes him the top scorer in the tournament at the end of the preliminary pools. He seems to be in his element in Leipzig, scoring three of England's five in their 5-7 defeat against The Netherlands yesterday.
Unfortunately, the draw leaves England at the bottom on Pool B, and they play the first of their relegation pool matches later this afternoon when they meet Switzerland. The second will be tomorrow against Spain.
Germany finish top of Pool A, with Austria in second place.
