England beat India 4-2, put Hockey World Cup hopes in danger

India lost 4-2 to England in their Pool D match of the Men's Hockey World Cup on Monday, leaving their campaign on the brink. India led 2-1 at halftime after goals from Harmanpreet Singh and Dilpreet Singh, but England scored three times in the second half to secure victory. Nicholas Bandurak scored twice for England, with Stuart Rushmere and Henry Croft adding one each, the Deccan Herald and ABP Live report.

The result leaves India second in Pool D with three points from two matches, while England top the group with six points. Pakistan and Wales have one point each. India's next match against Pakistan on Wednesday is a must-not-lose fixture, according to both outlets. A defeat would eliminate India from the tournament, while a draw could still see them through depending on the result of the England-Wales match.
