The home crowd bobbed anytime an English stick tapped the ball forward. But for most part of the first two quarters, those taps followed odd retrieves after an Indian attack. The Indian supporters, outnumbered and out-cheered in the stands by their English counterparts, sat still for a change -- numbed by a sense of nostalgia unfolding on the pitch. If Harmanpreet's odd run and body dodge in England's half reminded hockey fans of Pargat Singh, Nilakanta's pass to cut the defence in half brought back memories of Prabhjot. And Mandeep's finishing touch completed that famous trio of the past, with Gagan Ajit Singh and Deepak Thakur rolled into one. Three goals in the first 22 minutes was a harsh lesson for England to stomach. This, after all, was the 'match of Pool B' -- expected to decide who finishes on top and faces the No. 2 team in Pool A in the semis. But this script certainly wasn't what both India and England would have had in mind before the game began. Modern hockey is a strange game, and can change within seconds. This one did, too. Despite leading 4-1, India were held to a 4-4 draw by the English.
