Only five minutes remain in the first quarter, and it's still goalless. Belgium have looked stronger in attack so far, but India’s defence has held firm and stayed organised under pressure.

Belgium continue to press forward with numbers in India’s circle, but the Indian defence holds firm once again.

India earn their second penalty corner of the match, but Deepika's attempt drifts wide. Astrid Bonami saw green card in the first quarter. Still goalless, but plenty of actions on both ends.

So it remains a goalless first half, but far from dull! Both India and Belgium have shown attacking intent, testing each other's defence throughout. India earned two PCs but couldn’t convert, while Belgium threatened with more circle entries.
