ODIHAM hockey star Alex Danson and her England team mates opened their Women's World Cup with a 1-1 draw with India.
A late strike from Lily Owsley saw England come from behind to grab a point.
Neha Goyal gave India the lead in the first half but England battled hard and scored a late equaliser with six minutes remaining in front of a huge crowd of 10,500 at the Lee Valley and Hockey Tennis Centre.
Next up for England are the USA as they continue their campaign in Pool B on Wednesday night in front of another bumper crowd.
