LONDON: Great Britain produced a wonderful comeback to tie 3-3 with Australia remain on track for an Olympic semi-final.

Australia made a fantastic start, with Russell Ford scoring twice in the first ten minutes.

At the start of the second half, Mark Knowles scored third goal, making the score 3-0 and looked to have put the game beyond Team Great Britain.

Jonathan Clarke hit back for the British on 46 minutes for what seemed just a consolation effort.

A late rally from Team GB earned them a memorable and unlikely draw. Barry Middleton had the home fans dreaming when he converted a penalty corner to make it 3-2.

With just minutes left on the clock James Tindall scored a brilliant equaliser, which counted, despite Australian protests.

A remarkable match ended 3-3 and left the sides level at the top of Group A.
