Chandi moved into the circle with a solo, meeting with an obstruction leading to India's third penalty corner in the 41st minute.

Dhananjay scored the equaliser to the great delight of a huge crowd of ethnic Indians in the stands.

Two minutes later it was the turn of Indian captain Rajpal Singh, who was leading the team in place of indisposed Sandeep Singh, to celebrate as he gave India the lead.

Rajpal knocked home at the back post after a free flowing move down the left flank from Prabodh Tirkey, Halappa and Chandi.

England responded immediately with two penalty corners but Jackson's efforts were thwarted by D'souza. As England pressed on in search of the equaliser, India were beginning to show some of their traditional flair, attacking on the counter at pace and superb close control.

India had a chance to kill off the game as it entered the final ten minutes but Rajpal

mis-trapped along the baseline.

Then Chandi entered the striking circle from the left to strike the bouncing ball with a reverse stick volley for a 4-2 lead.

England reduced the margin when Jackson netted his second penalty corner.

India played out the remaining time as ecstatic fans celebrated.

India's chief coach Jose Brasa said the victory was due to renewed self-confidence in the team.

The third and final Test will take place Sunday.
