India’s Penalty corner count moves into the double-digits as they line up for their 10th PC of the day.

Another well-worked move from the set piece, however, the Japanese keeper holds her ground, much like she has done all evening long to keep the hosts out of the net.

This must be incredibly frustrating for the Indians, who continue to throw the kitchen sink at this.

Japan surge forward in a attack in the game, but the Indian backline is on its toes to see the attack out and release their forwards up the field in quick fashion to hit on the counter.
