India tried to counter the hosts during the latter stages of the second period, but could only take a 1-0 lead into the half-time break.Some resolute defending by the experienced British defense meant that the Indians were denied on multiple occasions. Amy Tennant, who had replaced Heesh at half-time, was called into action by Gurjit Kaur in the 40th minute but produced a fine save to deny the visitors.It was only in the 48th minute of the match that India finally managed to extend their lead as Gurjit Kaur found the back of the net from a Penalty Corner conversion.With less than six minutes to go on the clock, Great Britain was awarded another penalty corner, and this time it was Elizabeth Neal who converted from the spot to pull a goal back in the 55th minute.It was a nervous last five minutes for the Indian team, and after having kept out the hosts on multiple occasions, the Indian defense finally was caught off guard in added time.Great Britain was awarded a penalty corner, and it was Anna Toman who converted to earn her team a 2-2 draw.( With inputs from ANI )
