Jugraj Singh scored twice for India

India made a bad start when they fell behind to goals from Rehan Butt and Mohammad Nadeem.

And Mudassar Ali scored again for Pakistan either side of strikes from Jugraj Singh to give them a 3-2 half-time lead.

Pakistan looked to have the game in the bag when Sohail Abbas put them 4-2 up in the 41st minute, but Deepak Thakur and Prabhjot Singh hit back to level the score.

India went ahead for the first time when Deepak Thakur struck again, and two goals from Gagan Ajit Singh in the space of three minutes sealed the victory.

Pakistan are now second behind Holland in the overall standings but will be overtaken by Australia or Argentina if there is a result in the match between the two sides on Saturday.

India's win takes them level with Argentina on six points, although they have played one game more.
