India go one up
India took the lead in their field hockey
series against New Zealand in Wellington on
Sunday when Sandeep Singh sealed a 2-1
win in the second Test. New Zealand held an
early lead when striker Simon Child latched
on to a through ball from Brad Shaw in the
fourth minute and found the back of the
net from a difficult angle. They maintained
the advantage for half an hour before
Tushar Khandekar received a free hit from
the right, turned and nailed a reverse stick
shot from close range. The deciding goal
came 10 minutes later when Singh stepped
up for his third penalty corner and found
the net with a drag flick that flew into the
top left corner. The first Test in the four-
match series was drawn 1-1 with the
remaining two Tests to be played in
