Chennai, Aug 4 (PTI) Three-time champions and title favourites India were held to a 1-1 draw by Japan in their second match of the Asian Champions Trophy hockey tournament here on Friday.

India had started their campaign on a rousing note, demolishing China 7-1 on Thursday.

But, the home side produced a lacklustre show on Friday as they were held to a draw by the Japanese.

Ken Nagayoshi gave Japan the lead in the 28th minute which was neutralised by India skipper Harmanpreet Singh in the 43rd minute.
