Olympic bronze-winning Indian hockey team lost 0-2 to world champions Germany in the first Test to concede a 0-1 lead in the two-match series here on Wednesday.

Germany, who are reigning Olympic silver-medallists, fielded a young team for the series. It lived up to the expectations, at least in the first match, with Henrik Mertgens (4th minute) and skipper Lukas Windfeder (30th) scoring the winning goals.
