Pakistan have won the bronze medal at the Champions Trophy men's
hockey tournament, beating India 3-2 at Melbourne's State Hockey
Centre on Sunday.
The Pakistanis fought back from a goal down after India's VR Raghunath netted early.
But
Muhammad Rizwan Senior equalised midway through the first half, before
Pakistan took the lead early in the second with a neat goal to Shafqat
Rasool.
Both sides had their chances in a free-flowing match,
before Muhammad Ateeq's drag flick with five minutes left sealed bronze
for Pakistan.
India netted a consolation goal through Rupinder Pal Singh with the last play of the match.
Australia play the Netherlands in the gold medal match later on Sunday.
The Kookaburras are aiming for a fifth successive Champions Trophy title.
