It was a pleasure bringing you the action on NDTV SPORTS. Stay tuned right here, for all the latest and live updates from the world of sports.
No doubt a bit of a letdown for India after they made a stunning comeback in the match. Harmanpreet Singh is awarded 'Player of the Match', but he will be rueing his penalty shootout miss.
IND vs GER Hockey LIVE: Germany score! Germany win!
Germany slot in the final penalty of the shootout. They seal the shootout 3-1. Major disappointment for India, despite winning today's match. Germany will take home the trophy.
Germany convert their fourth goal! India must score now. And they do! Aditya scored, but was it before the 7-second timer got over? THE GOAL STANDS. India are still alive.
A stunning victory for India. Germany scored goals at the beginning and at the end. They even led at half-time. But a decisive third quarter, where India scored four goals, changed the tide of the game completely.
Now then, who wins the penalty shootout? Stay tuned.
WOW. What a quarter. India have not only taken the lead, they have almost certainly sealed the win too. In just 15 minutes. Fabulous stuff. Harmanpreet Singh with a PC brace, Sukhjeet and Abhishek as well on the scoresheet.
India are running rampage. Harmanpreet Singh strikes again! Two PCs converted in the space of two minutes. India have gone from 0-1 down to 3-1 up inside 15 minutes!
Sukhjeet scores! India score in the third quarter. A brilliant pass from the left side and Sukhjeet has the easy job of getting his stick to the end of it. Well-built goal by India, and the drought ends! It's all square.
That's the end of the second quarter, signalling half-time in the second Test between India and Germany. India still yet to find a goal across 90 minutes of hockey over the two games, while Germany still hold on to their lead after a first quarter goal.
Lots of improvement needed, particularly in efficiency, for India.
IND vs GER Hockey LIVE: What's happening with PCs?
Again, India fail to make a PC count. Once again, it is the halting that is the problem. India get lucky as they intercept a Germany counter-attack quickly.
End of the first quarter. Positives to take for India, but they also need to be more clinical and on-point. Germany lead after a brilliant counter-attack goal in the 7th minute.
Better from India, and Harmanpreet gets a firm stroke in, but a superb save once again by Germany. India have created chances, but it has been a great performance by the German goalkeeper.
Fabulous counter-attack again by Germany, and they win a PC as the ball strikes Jarmanpreet on the heel. Not ideal defending by India's no. 4. Germany fire wide from the PC!
A huge mess-up by India, and they don't even get a shot away. Germany hit India with a lightning quick counter-attack, and nearly score, but miss a tap-in!
Less than 30 seconds later, another PC for India! This game is going back and forth rapidly.
Excellent combination play between Jarmanpreet Singh and Samsher Singh on the right wing, the former drives a low ball into the area but Aditya's shot is brilliantly saved by the Germany goalkeeper.
Completely against the run of play, Germany have scored the first goal of the match. Their striker is left empty in the D-area, and he converts with their first shot of the game. Huge early setback for India, but there's time to make a comeback.
Mandeep sent through on goal but saved! The rebound doesn't come back to India, but they get a PC! Harmanpreet Singh called into action. But first, a video referral to confirm the PC.
