China 🇨🇳 vs India 🇮🇳 | Highlights | AVC Men's Continental Championship 2026

India in red serving, China in the white and red receiving for this man's ABC Volleyball Continental here in Fukuoka, Japan. First match for both of these teams. And that's a good start. Nice and done trying to make their side out. That's an opportunity missed in defence by John. He's another great block for China. Good serve. Pass dispatched accordingly. Chirac. Jerome with the serve. Big serve. Scramble now though. Down ball for China. They will take the point. Still need a bit more to run the middle for that. That's a swing. Shikata serve. Very good angle. It's not going to miss that. Good for side out there. Well played, John. Some good effect. With the side out, China with the serve there. Leading India by one set to nothing. That is a wonderful swing to the line from Jerome. Keeps doing that. He'll have to call him Jerome the Metronome. Lovely choice on that swing. Doesn't go for too much angle. Nice quick swing. The corner block can get fully settled. Very important for India. Get that side out. Stay in touch. It's for a break point here. Shikata. That is adjusted on by the caps here. Yu Yantai. Delved. Substitution now for India. You've got one left. Instant side out for China. Side out made. Met with the serve. Not an easy one. A side out for a set point. Number two for China. Not going to stay in play. That's a fantastic swing. And India in their groove there. They're just trading points. Huge rip for the back row from Jerome. Well this is incredible because it was seven substitutes to two and now it's eight for China. They've used all of theirs. Set point again for China. Keep knocking on the door. Abhi opening it here. They've certainly got a free ball. They've got options. And they've got it done. Away we go then. We set number three. India with the serve. China leading by two sets to nothing. Space the tackle. Do it for Jerome. That's hand control. Finds that little soft spot behind the block. Get control. Oh that's a touch. Well played. Yu Yantai. Continues and played to the whistle. China did that. That is quality volleyball from them. Decent lead at the moment for China. Increasing it. That's a great block. Shoot in the middle. Free ball for China. Three front row attackers. Yu Yantai on pipe. Wenjia taking the ball a little late which gives the block time to get in there. Hamid once again. It's close. He nailed it. Absolutely nailed it. The side out gives them match point. Can they get it done? Another chance here for India. China. Oh it's not high enough in the middle and it's still India looking to get level. Can't get a full swing. They are just giving China. China can't get a swing at all. Goodness me. Now there's a chance. In the system of some sort. Oh what a block. Monster ball from John. Decent serve. That's more like it. Side out. Got the side out. China looking for side out to get another match point chance. For China. Match point number two. Missed it. Mutu. In their groove now. Goodness me. What a touch. Is that in? It is the end of it barring a challenge for block touch which we're going to get. No block touch. There we go. Challenge successful.
