England

 A string of five penalty corners after the final siren gave England a chance of snatching a vital draw and a semi-final place in the 2011 indoor hockey world cup. But it was not meant to be, some heroic Austrian defending, including a stop on the line from James Tindall to end the game, kept the English at bay and the scoreline at 3-2.

For 32 minutes England played focused skilful hockey dismantling the dangerous Iranian side 6-0. Then in eight minutes of craziness they let in four and had skipper Barry Middleton in the naughty chair on a yellow card.

Won one lost one, that was the story on day two of England's indoor world cup campaign. The loss came 3-2 against a clever and skilful Russian side. The win was also 3-2, against a combative USA.

The performance against the US was disjointed, but go-to man James Tindall saved the day with a half-way line steal and half-court dribble into the net. That came after the US equalised at 2-2 with a penalty despite Richard Mantell's protests the ball had hit his stick. I probably don't need t tell you about that – you probably heard the shouting back in Reading.
