India edged past Pakistan 4-3 in a thrilling FIH Pro League clash at London's Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre. Goals from Abhishek, Nilakanta Sharma, Sukhjeet Singh and Rajinder Singh helped India overcome an early setback, while Ahmad Nadeem, Abu Mahmood and Moin Shakeel kept Pakistan in the contest. Despite missing several penalty corner opportunities, India held on for the win as Pakistan produced a much-improved performance.

The captains of India and Pakistan exchange a handshake before the players are introduced to the crowd. The atmosphere builds as both teams line up for the national anthems, with Pakistan's anthem played first, followed by India's. The stage is set for another high-voltage hockey battle.

We are underway in London! India step out in their all-white kits, while Pakistan are in their iconic green and whites. A lively crowd is in attendance as the two rivals prepare for another intense encounter.

Mandeep Singh gets the game started with the pushback, with India attacking from right to left. The contest is officially underway.

India waste no time making their presence felt as they earn the first penalty corner of the match within the opening couple of minutes. A foul on Mandeep Singh gives India the opportunity to test Pakistan's defence early.

Harmanpreet Singh steps up, eager to open the scoring, but Rajinder Singh takes the drag flick instead and finds a Pakistan foot. India get another penalty corner, but this attempt goes wide. The pressure is building from the Indian side.

India continue to pile on the pressure as they win another penalty corner. Pakistan's defence is being tested early in this high-voltage clash.

WHAT JUST HAPPENED! Pakistan thought they had a penalty corner, and after a review, they were proved right. India were caught off guard as Manpreet Singh failed to retreat five metres, handing Pakistan the opportunity.

And they make it count. Abu Mahmood steps up and unleashes a stunning drag flick that beats the Indian defence to put Pakistan ahead. A huge moment in this fierce rivalry.

The first quarter comes to an end with Pakistan ahead after making their penalty corner count. India enjoyed more possession and created chances but failed to find the back of the net.

For Craig Fulton's side, penalty corner defence remains a concern as Pakistan's successful set-piece conversion once again highlights an area India need to address.

A worrying moment for Pakistan as Ahmad Nadeem goes down after taking a nasty hit on the face from the ball inside India's circle. Play is stopped immediately as the medical team rushes in. Nadeem is eventually taken off on a wheelchair, with the crowd applauding and wishing him a speedy recovery.

The action resumes and India waste no time pushing forward, winning another penalty corner after Mandeep Singh creates the opportunity.

Harmanpreet Singh steps up for the penalty corner and delivers the injection with precision. Sukhjeet Singh gets the decisive deflection off his stick, guiding the ball past the Pakistan goalkeeper. A well-executed set-piece from India helps them draw level in the contest.

India turn the game on its head with a stunning burst of goals. Harmanpreet Singh finally converts a penalty corner with a top-corner drag flick before Hardik Singh scores from the spot after a penalty stroke.

Jugraj Singh then finishes a brilliant counter-attack following a save against Abu Mahmood's drag flick, while Abhishek adds another with a reverse hit after a superb move started by Sukhjeet Singh. India have completely taken control of the contest.

India keep knocking, and eventually the door opens! A rising ball strikes Rajkumar Pal to hand India a penalty corner with 90 seconds left in the quarter.

Harmanpreet Singh takes charge, but Pakistan's rushers repeatedly block his drag flicks with foot saves, forcing India to take four penalty corners in a row. On the fourth attempt, Harmanpreet's effort takes a deflection before Rajkumar Pal gets the decisive touch to guide it home and score his first goal of the match.

The final quarter gets underway with India firmly in control. Pakistan have conceded seven goals twice this season, including a heavy 7-1 defeat against Belgium, and will be eager to prevent another big-margin loss. India, meanwhile, continue to push forward in search of more goals.

GOAAAAAL! INDIA ARE RUNNING RIOT!

India are tearing apart Pakistan's defence with relentless attacking hockey. Mandeep Singh drives forward from the left flank before finding Dilpreet Singh inside the circle. The ball takes a tricky bounce, but Dilpreet keeps his composure and fires it home from close range. India have their seventh goal of the match.

India are convinced there’s obstruction inside Pakistan’s circle and go up for a penalty corner appeal. The umpire, however, is unmoved and rules it out. India send it upstairs, but the review shows no clear evidence to overturn the call. Decision stands, and it’s a free hit to Pakistan.

That’s a wrap, we’ll be back with another live blog. Until then, bye bye.
