Holly Hunt scored England's only goal in their draw with India

England women followed up their opening win over Spain with a hard-earned 1-1 draw with India on the second day of the Torneo del Centenario.

The result means England are top of the table on four points at the tournament staged by the Spanish Hockey Federation to mark its 100th anniversary.

Holly Hunt opened the scoring in the seventh minute with a field goal before Lalremsiami equalised for India.

Meanwhile, England men came from behind to beat Spain 3-1 in the later game.

James Albery reached 50 combined caps for Great Britain and England, while Conor Williamson made his international debut as England conceded first to a Marc Miralles goal for the hosts.

Nick Bandurak equalised before Sam Ward's goal from a penalty corner handed England the lead. Bandurak scored his second late on to seal victory and earn England their first win of the tournament to move top of the table.

England women face hosts Spain in their third game on Friday, 28 July, with England men facing India later on the same day.

India can move level with England women at the top of the table if they beat Spain in the next game on Thursday.
