Hockey: India start campaign with 3-1 win over England<br/>

India made a bright start to their campaign at the Champions Trophy hockey tournament with a come-from-behind 3-1 win over England in Pool A at the State Hockey Centre at Melbourne today. The new-look Indian team clinched a morale-boosting win through goals from opportunistic field goals from Danish Mujtaba and Yuvraj Walmiki before Gurwinder Singh Chandi scored in a set-piece penalty corner at 66th minute. Earlier, the India defence was breached by a drag flick from Richard Smith on England&apos;s maiden penalty corner in the 14th minute. Germany edged past New Zealand 3-2 in the other Pool A match today. India will take on New Zealand tomorrow in their second outing in Pool A, which also features Olympic gold medallists Germany.
