Dutch, Pakistan split points

Hockey
In a display of top quality hockey skills from both sides, Netherlands drew 2-2 with Pakistan in the men's Champions Trophy field hockey tournament here on Tuesday.
The Dutch, who beaten Pakistan 5-2 in a practice match last Wednesday, got off to a flying start on Tuesday after just five minutes when Teun de Nooijer scored from near the left post after receiving a free hit from near the top of the circle from captain Jeroen Delmee.
Taeke Taekema failed to add to the score when he missed two penalty corner chances while Erik Jazet and Taekema and Geert Jan Derikx were solid in defence, breaking up Pakistan's fast attacks through Nadeem and Shabbir Hussain.
The Dutch defence conceded three penalty corners in the first half with Sohail Abbas flicking in to the left of Guus Vogels in goal after 28 minutes to level the score at the break.
Raza Ali and Sohail worked well in Pakistan's defensive circle with Sohail showing improved positional play and mobility in his game.
Pakistan started sharply in the second half, pressing Netherlands in their defensive quarter for 10 minutes until the home side broke out through the midfield with Geert
Jan Derikx finding Teun de Nooijer at the left post.
De Nooijer's flick rebounded to Karel Klaver who hurried a high shot over the backline with the goal open.
Taeke Taekema struck again for Netherlands, converting the third penalty corner in the 59th minute with a low flick along the carpet just inside the right post.
Pakistan's Shabbir made three speedy and penetrating runs through the left in the last 10 minutes and set up Kashif Jawad to score from the top of the circle under the pads of Guus Vogels charging out from goal in the 66th minute to set up an exciting final four minutes.
AUSTRALIA ABASE INDIA
Australia dealt a savage blow to India's hopes on Tuesday by clinching a 4-1 win with Grant Schubert grabbing a hattrick.
Australia attacked relentlessly for the first quarter, pressuring India's defence, and gaining good possession inside their opponents' circle.
India had little midfield possession and what little they achieved was squandered.
Brent Livermore had a chance to put Australia ahead with a penalty stroke awarded when Adam Commen's drive at goal from the top of the circle was stopped by the foot of Kanwalpreet Singh.
However, Devesh Chauhan saved Livermore's stroke on his left pad at the right post.
Gagan Ajit Singh and Bimal Lakral then had sharp chances in
front of Australia's goal but their hurried shots in the last 10 minutes went wide.
Grant Schubert put Australia on the board after 34 minutes with a flick into the middle of the net from a movement crafted by Troy Elder along the left.
Australia sped to a 3-0 lead within 12 minutes of the restart with another goal by Grant Schubert and Troy
Elder converting a second penalty stroke.
Schubert's second goal came from a rapid transition of possession from right to left across the top of the circle for Paul Gaudoin to find Schubert at the left post to score behind Devesh in the 44th minute.
Devesh conceded the second penalty two minutes later when the ball lodged between his legs and he closed them on the ball as he sat on the pitch.
Elder went low inside the left post to convert the stroke.
Dilip Tirkey converted India's second penalty corner while Jugraj Singh was off the pitch taking a rest.
Dilip took a rebound off Mark Hickman's pads and fired an unstoppable 50th minute shot high into the net.
Schubert scored his third goal of the match (his fifth in five games) on the hour after Grant Eglington and Elder combined to deliver possession to Schubert at the left post to score past Devesh again.
