India had ended day one of the Sabina Park Test 126 for 1 in reply to West Indies 196. Lenny Dykstra Jersey . They had scored at a run rate of 3.40 per over. On day two, India added 232 to their overnight total, at a scoring rate of 2.64 an over, to go to stumps 162 ahead with five wickets in hand. KL Rahul, who went on to score a career-best 158, reckoned that West Indies bowling discipline on day two had made it difficult for Indias batsmen to score quickly.Well look, you probably have to give a little credit to the West Indies bowlers as well, he said. They came in with a set plan this morning, to keep it tight and not give away easy runs. They tried to bowl the fourth-fifth stump channel. The wicket obviously isnt the easiest to bat on. It is a little spongy sometimes, and two-paced. So you couldnt play through the line or go after the bowlers when they bowled those channels.Its a Test match, you have all the time in the world. We have bundled them out for 180 (196), and we still had four days to go. We were in no hurry, so we could take our time and wait for the loose balls. I think we played really well in the first session. We gave the West Indies bowlers and the lengths and lines they were bowling the respect it demanded. At the end of the day, we have still gotten the amount of runs we wanted to get. We are very happy as a batting unit.In the first session, Rahul and Cheteshwar Pujara scored 59 runs at 2.27 an over, and denied West Indies the early breakthroughs they must have hoped to make. Having moved to 46, Pujara was run out in the tenth over after lunch, continuing a sequence of innings in which he has failed to convert starts into bigger scores. Rahul said Pujara was doing all the processes right, and was confident a big innings was around the corner.I think hes batting really, really well, Rahul said. I think his judgment outside the off stump was fabulous and his discipline was really good. When the bowler keeps bowling the fourth-fifth stump channel, the easiest thing to do is to try and place down to third man or try and go over cover or point. You may connect one or two, but you could give a catch to the slips.He did the hard thing [by leaving as many balls as he could]. He did the hard yards, but unfortunately he got out at the wrong time. Had he stayed till the end, he would have scored 100 more runs in the next two sessions. Its unfortunate, but I think hell be happy that he is doing his processes right. The outcome is sometimes not in our hands.We know how much of a run-hungry guy he is and it will make him hungrier and Im sure big runs are coming his way in the third and fourth Tests.Rahuls hundred was his third in Test cricket, and had come in only his sixth match. He has had to wait for his opportunities, with M Vijay and Shikhar Dhawan established as Indias first-choice opening combination, but he came into the match with form behind him, in the shape of a breakthrough IPL season and an ODI hundred on debut.The last couple of months, Ive been performing well, he said. Ive been consistent in all the three formats and thats what I want to do as a cricketer, to be consistent in all the three formats. Go out there, and play to the best of my abilities, and play my roles and responsibilities for the team.Right now Im in a good space. Im only watching the ball and trying to judge the ball and if I think the ball is there to be hit, Im hitting the ball. That doesnt change. Thats the only thing that doesnt change with T20, one-day or four-day cricket - when the ball is there to be hit, you hit the ball. Thats the only thing that runs in my mind. Im very happy with the space Im in and the focus levels have been great. Custom New York Mets Jerseys .

CLEVELAND -- Matt Forte ran for 82 yards and a pair of second-half touchdowns, helping the New York Jets rally past the still winless Cleveland Browns 31-28 on Sunday. Tampa Bay Rays Jerseys .Ryan Fitzpatrick shook off an ugly first half to throw for 222 yards and a touchdown while leading the Jets (3-5) on three long scoring drives after spotting the Browns (0-8) a 13-point lead.Josh McCown passed for 341 yards with two touchdowns to Andrew Hawkins and two interceptions in his return to the lineup from a fractured collarbone. Terrelle Pryor caught six passes for 101 yards, but couldnt keep Cleveland from its worst start since the 1975 team dropped its first nine games.The Browns have lost 11 straight overall dating to Week 14 of last season and are 3-26 over their last 29. Cleveland blew a halftime advantage for the third time during the streak. This one might have been the most improbable.The Jets managed all of 106 yards while getting thoroughly outplayed in the first half. New York trailed 20-7 at the break as Fitzpatrick completed just three of 14 passes while McCown and Pryor repeatedly went after New York cornerback Darrelle Revis.Faced with the prospect of an embarrassing loss, the Jets responded emphatically.Fitzpatrick, who complained the team had lost faith in him when it benched the veteran in favor of Geno Smith after Week 7, put together consecutive touchdown drives of 78, 84 and 81 yards. His 24-yard hookup with Quincy Enunwa brought the Jets within 20-14. Fitzpatrick hit Enunwa again for a 57-yard gain on New Yorks next possession, one that ended with Forte bulling over from 4 yards out on fourth-and-goal.Fortes second touchdown, a bullish 2-yard blast, ended a 13-play, 81-yard march that gave the Jets firm control.The Browns quickly crumbled.McCown threw interceptions on consecutive possessions and when New York linebacker Lorenzo Maudlin plucked a deflected McCown pass off the turf, most of the fans at First Energy Stadium bailed to get home and keep tabs of the Cleveland Indians, who could clinch the citys second championship in four months with a win over Chicago Cubs in Game 5 of the World Series on Sunday night.The success of the Indians and the NBAs Cleveland Cavaliers will have to do for now.

The Cincinnati Reds remain perfect with their speedy rookie outfielder in the starting lineup. Tottenham Hotspur moved to third in the Premier League table after Harry Kane scored in a 1-0 win over Sunderland on Sunday at White Hart Lane.However, the Spurs star was replaced in the 87th minute with what appeared to be an ankle injury.Spurs (3-2-0) started strong and soon had the Black Cats on the back foot. Kane thought he had given his side the lead after nine minutes when he met Heung-Min Sons cross in the six-yard box, but Jordan Pickford kept out his effort at the near post.That was the start of a busy 20 minutes for Pickford who denied Kane again after 15 minutes when the England striker had turned Papy Djilobodji in the box. From the resultant corner, the young Sunderland keeper made an even better save to keep out a header from Toby Allderweireld. Markieff Morris Jersey. The home side racked up 19 shots in the first half, but Spurs couldnt find a way past Pickford. Sunderlands Adnan Januzaj skipped to the byline and picked out an unmarked Steven Pienaar, but his effort was blocked on the line by Kyle Walker.It was the same one-way traffic in the second half before Spurs finally took the lead after 59 minutes. Walker crossed from the right, Dele Alli cushioned it down with a header and Kane said thank you as he drilled the ball into the bottom corner.Sunderland (0-1-4) refused to change their game plan after falling behind as Spurs continued to control the match.

Tottenham Hotspur moved to third in the Premier League table after Harry Kane scored in a 1-0 win over Sunderland on Sunday at White Hart Lane.However, the Spurs star was replaced in the 87th minute with what appeared to be an ankle injury.Spurs (3-2-0) started strong and soon had the Black Cats on the back foot. Kane thought he had given his side the lead after nine minutes when he met Heung-Min Sons cross in the six-yard box, but Jordan Pickford kept out his effort at the near post.That was the start of a busy 20 minutes for Pickford who denied Kane again after 15 minutes when the England striker had turned Papy Djilobodji in the box. From the resultant corner, the young Sunderland keeper made an even better save to keep out a header from Toby Allderweireld. Markieff Morris Jersey. The home side racked up 19 shots in the first half, but Spurs couldnt find a way past Pickford. Sunderlands Adnan Januzaj skipped to the byline and picked out an unmarked Steven Pienaar, but his effort was blocked on the line by Kyle Walker.It was the same one-way traffic in the second half before Spurs finally took the lead after 59 minutes. Walker crossed from the right, Dele Alli cushioned it down with a header and Kane said thank you as he drilled the ball into the bottom corner.Sunderland (0-1-4) refused to change their game plan after falling behind as Spurs continued to control the match.

Group D, or the so-called group of death, was full of upsets and suspense until the very end of their League of Legends World Championships round-robin stage. Paul Millsap Jersey . With three potential world-class teams -- Team SoloMid, Samsung Galaxy and Royal Never Give Up -- and one massive European underdog, Splyce, it was the ultimate prove it group -- each team was touted and hyped, but unproven.Splyce and TSM provided plenty of feel-good moments, but ultimately Samsung Galaxy and RNG prevailed into the quarterfinals.Winner of the day: Samsung GalaxySamsung Galaxy lived up to their lofty expectations. The team performed brilliantly with an undefeated Saturday, a record of 5-1 and the top seed out of the group. Not only did the team win, but they won in dominant fashion -- two victories inside the 20-minute window. Kang Ambition Chang-yong carried most of the lane phase to overcome many of the bottom-lane deficiencies and kept Samsung Galaxy even into the mid game. From there, it was a complete team snowball. From the support to the middle lane, everyones contributions led to a dominating group-stage exit for Samsung Galaxy.Loser of the day: Team SoloMidThe North American all-star lineup exited the group stage with a Week 2 record of 1-2 and the taste of bitter disappointment after they failed to capitalize on a solid Week 1. In both of their losses against Samsung Galaxy and RNG, TSM failed to play at their own pace or with their offensive identity. While Yiliang Peter Doublelift Peng did his part on the offensive end, the rest of the lineup fell flat. Against Samsung Galaxy, both S?ren Bjergsen Bjerg and Kevin Hauntzer Yarnell played poorly. From the lane phase to the most critical team engagements, Bjergsen and Hauntzer contributed little at key moments -- either one failed in positioning or was too passive in an approach. Against RNG, it was just a wash. Outside of one great fight to potentially start a comeback, it was all RNG from the first minute.Overall, the North American lineup did not recognize the oppositions defenses or take advantage of the miscues that the enemy provided. It was an uncharacteristically poor showing from the usually strong team.Team that needed improvement: Royal Never Give UpRNG suffered a 23-minute battering from Samsung Galaxy, a defeat from Splyce and needed a final game against TSM to qualify out of the group stage. It was a humbling day for the team-fighting super squad, but it was still a qualification. There are so many holes in RNG: early game (the bottom lane), rotations and overall map control. RNGs team-fighting prowess was well-documented, but if the team cannot enter the mid game without any momentum, it was negated. The team needs a full early-game draft makeover and aggression from either the jungle or the middle lane, or RNG will not survive past the first round of the quarterfinals. Kenneth Faried Jersey . What general manager Dave Nonis called "short and productive" negotiations ended with Kessel signing a US$64-million, eight-year contract on Tuesday. Jameer Nelson Jersey . -- Team after team passed on Andre Ellington in the draft. http://www.nuggetsprostore.com/kids-alex-english-nuggets-jersey/ . -- There were so many positives from the Orlando Magics first victory of the season that it was hard for coach Jacque Vaughn to stop praising his players. BOSTON -- The Los Angeles Kings, spending most of December on the road, bring their traveling road show into Boston for a Sunday matinee.And when they hit the ice for fourth game of a nine-game journey, they will face a Bruins team missing its leading goal scorer.David Pastrnak, the 20-year-old who has carried the Boston offense this season, underwent right elbow surgery for the removal of an olecranon bursa on Friday. He is officially listed as day to day and expected to be out at least two games. But teammate David Backes missed five games earlier this season with the same surgery.Its not a fun little procedure hes going through, Backes said, but hes in the hands of great doctors and hopefully hell be back even sooner than I was.Pastrnak has only one goal in the last four games, but six in the last seven and his 19, four more than all of last season, are more than twice anyone else on the roster.He is also a team-best plus-15 and is second in the NHL to Sidney Crosby in goals.Its never easy when you hear that kind of news for one of your better players this year, so those are challenges you have to face and get through, coach Claude Julien said Saturday. Well certainly do our best to get some wins here without him.Peter Budaj, the workhorse Kings goalie with Jonathan Quick expected to be out until mid-February, shut down Sidney Crosby and the high-scoring Penguins in a 1-0 overtime victory on Friday night, shouldnt have as much trouble with the offensively challenged Bruins without Pastrnak. Boston has scored two goals or less in 21 of its 32 games.In Pittsburgh, Budaj, pulled from his previous start in Buffalo in the first game of the trip, made 39 saves in ending the Penguins seven-game winning streak.Thats the most important thing is to win, said Budaj, who notched his third shutout of the season after Quick was lost in the opener. The shutoout is like the cherry on the cake. Wilson Chandler Jersey. It feels great.The Bruins have lost five of their last six, getting at least one point in three of the six. They have lost three in a row at home, where they are 7-8 this season -- and it was poor play on home ice that cost Boston a playoff berth for a second straight season last year.The Bruins won in overtime in Montreal on Monday night, then lost in OT at Pittsburgh on Wednesday, then lost at home to Anaheim in the third game in four nights.And the Kings went into Pittsburgh Friday and won.Circle the wagons and stick together. Thats what we do, LA coach Darryl Sutter said.Saturday marked the fifth anniversary of Sutter, winner of two Stanley Cups, agreeing to coach the Kings.Dean (GM Lombardi) had called me a couple times just to see if I was interested in coaching again, not implying anything. And we talked off and on anyways about different things, Sutter told the LA Times. My intent always was, Id sort of left my window open, but there were only three or four places Id go because I wasnt going just to coach somewhere again.So he left his Viking, Alberta, farm for the job and is still there.The Kings opened this trip with a 6-3 loss at Buffalo and then won 4-1 in the finale at Joe Louis Arena before winning Friday. They have a mandatory day off Monday, visit Columbus on Tuesday and still have to go to Nashville, Dallas, Vancouver and Edmonton before finally playing at home Dec. 31.The Bruins, who had to benefit from two days without a game, host the New York Islanders on Tuesday before a four-game trip and a Dec. 31 return home. The road, however, isnt scary for this Bruins team, which is 9-5-3 away from home.The Kings won both meetings between the teams last season.

Nobody does postseasons better than Madison Bumgarner, but Mets ace Noah Syndergaard is certainly no slouch. http://www.bengalsrookiestore.com/Bengals-Clark-Harris-Jersey/ . With two of the premier pitchers in baseball dueling, Wednesdays NL wild-card showdown (8 p.m. ET on ESPN/Watch ESPN) could be one for the ages.Go inside the numbers and matchups that will decide Wednesday nights game, then vote on which team will win at the bottom of the page.Inside the pitching matchupWhen Bumgarner?is on the mound:?One thing we know about Bumgarner is that hell be unflappable on the mound at Citi Field. He owns a 0.60 ERA on the road in his postseason career while appearing in seven games. Remarkably, the Giants won all seven of those games.Bumgarner is essentially the same pitcher he was back when he dominated the 2014 postseason. He throws his four-seamer up in the zone, usually middle-in to right-handed batters, though it wasnt quite as effective this year as in the past. Back in 2014, batters had a .275 wOBA against it; this year, it was .323, with a swing-and-miss rate that dropped from 27.6 percent in 2014 to 22.4 percent in 2016. Bumgarners average velocity on the pitch dropped from 92.0 mph to 90.8.His cutter/slider -- Bumgarner calls it a cutter -- remains a deadly weapon, as batters hit .221 against it and have trouble elevating it. What makes it so effective in part is that Bumgarner manipulates the speed on it, throwing it from 85 to 89 mph. Bumgarners third pitch is a curveball that he throws about 15 percent of the time, about equally to lefties and righties, often with two strikes, and hell bury it at the knees or below. Batters hit just .130 against it, with a strikeout rate of 51.6 percent.If theres one worry, its that Bumgarner struggled a bit down the stretch, unlike in 2014, when he was red hot. In his final nine starts this season, he posted a 4.66 ERA and allowed eight home runs. -- David SchoenfieldWhen Syndergaard?is on the mound: Syndergaard stormed out of the gate in April, allowing two runs in his first three starts, and his ERA remained under 1.00 as late as mid-June. Terry Collins was pretty conservative in his usage of Syndergaard, who pitched more than seven innings just three times and 43 fewer innings than Bumgarner.Syndergaards game revolves around his high-octane fastball, which averaged 97.9 mph, the highest velocity by any starter in the majors (1.9 mph faster than Yordano Venturas). He throws it about 60 percent of the time with command, on the outer half of the plate to left-handers and the outer half of the plate to righties. The fastball itself isnt all that unhittable -- batters hit .283/.327/.411 against it, and Bumgarner had a higher swing-and-miss rate with his fastball -- but it helps set up Syndergaards slider. That pitch had the third-highest swing-and-miss rate of any starters slider (behind only those of Jose Fernandez and Max Scherzer), and batters hit .167 against it with one home run in 180 at-bats ending with the pitch (Corey Seager was the hitter).Syndergaard throws the slider about 21 percent of the time (he threw it only 2 percent of the time last year) while also mixing in a curveball and a changeup, which he throws primarily to lefties. Syndergaard had a small platoon split, with lefties hitting .262/.324/.389 against him versus .228/.258/.322, and the Giants can roll out a lineup with six left-handed batters. -- SchoenfieldPlayer in the spotlightAsdrubal Cabrera has been one of the hottest hitters in the majors since his return from the DL on Aug. 21, hitting .343/.410/.650 with 10 home runs and 28 RBIs. Almost all of that damage came against right-handed pitchers, however, as the switch-hitter had just 18 PAs against southpaws in that stretch. With much of the Mets power coming from the left side (Curtis Granderson, Jay Bruce, Lucas Duda), Cabrera and Yoenis Cespedes might be relied upon to do the damage.?-- SchoenfieldWhat will decide the game?How the Mets handle MadBums best stuff:?Bumgarner is well known for his nasty fastball/slider combo. He throws those two pitches 81 percent of the time to right-handed hitters. That plays into the hands of two of the Mets most prominent hitters, who had great numbers against those two pitches from lefties -- Asdrubal Cabrera (.375 BA, five doubles, two HR in 80 at-bats ending with those pitches) and Yoenis Cespedes (.370 BA, five doubles, five HR in 54 at-bats). Cespedes had the fourth-highest OPS (1.081) of anyone with at least 100 plate appearances against lefties this season. -- Mark Simon,?ESPN Stats & InfoChoosing sides: Who will win?Sure, the Mets have a challenge facing Bumgarner. But they have a tested answer in Syndergaard, who finished the regular season with a better ERA than Bumgarners (2.60 vs. 2.74) and earned the Mets lone win in last years World Series. And lets not forget the decided advantage the Mets have in their bullpen if they can get Bumgarners pitch count up. Mets closer Jeurys Familia set a franchise record with 51 regular-season saves, while the Giants nearly had that number of blown saves. Whats more, the Mets enter the postseason as one of MLBs hottest teams. Their 27-13 record is the best in the majors since Aug. 20. -- Adam RubinI wont even resort to the even-year argument. Lets stick with the more tangible facts, such as Bumgarners 2.14 ERA in almost 90 postseason innings. The Giants offense is built for contact, which should help against Syndergaard. The Giants bullpen isnt as bad as it appeared. It was left exposed because of a September batting slump. That ends now.?-- Mark SaxonWhere the series standsUnlike last year, the Mets have one ace to ride this postseason, and theyre rolling him out here. You know what Bruce Bochy is hoping for: a complete game, similar to the one Bumgarner delivered in the 2014 wild-card game against the Pirates. After a rough finish for the Giants bullpen, you get the feeling Bochy will live or die with Bumgarner in this one. --?Schoenfield http://www.bengalsrookiestore.com/Bengals-Aj-Mccarron-Jersey/ .

He returned to the game and threw a touchdown pass to close the gap to 48-32 midway through the fourth quarter.Its the most amazing thing from a quarterback that Ive seen, Hopson said. He was throwing some balloon balls out there, but the bottom line is thats the competitor in him. Hes a young man who kept fighting and battling. ...

DALLAS -- The Dallas Mavericks are one signature away from securing another overhaul of their starting lineup. Custom Seattle Mariners Jerseys . The deal announced Friday with free agent centre Samuel Dalembert means four of the projected starters in Dallas are under contract. The other, shooting guard Monta Ellis, has a verbal agreement. The 32-year-old Dalemberts contract is reportedly worth $7.5 million over two seasons. Dalembert is likely to be the fifth starting centre in the past five seasons for the Mavericks, who are retooling their roster for the third straight off-season. Their first priority in free agency was centre Dwight Howard, but he chose Houston. The NBAs only Haitian-born player, Dalembert has career averages of 8.0 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.8 blocks. He played for Milwaukee last season, and Dallas will be his fourth team in four seasons after playing the first eight years of his career with Philadelphia. Dalembert started 13 of the first 14 games for the Bucks last season but lost the job to Larry Sanders. At one point after his role was reduced, Dalembert was suspended for a game at Dallas for what was said to be a pattern of behaviour. He played just 47 games, averaging 6.7 points and 5.9 rebounds. Things didnt go as planned for the Mavericks at centre last year, either. Chris Kaman signed a one-year, $8 million deal to be the starter, and while he was in that role more than anyone else, he averaged a career-low 20.7 minutes. The Mavericks also have new starters in the backcourt with Ellis and fellow free agent Jose Calderon, a point guard. Calderon signed a four-year, $29 million deal, and the agreement with Ellis is reportedly worth about $25 million over three years. Dallas decided not to bring back Darren Collison and O.J. Mayo after a one-year experiment with both. Dallas will have three new starters for the second straight year to go with Dirk Nowitzki and Shawn Marion. The Mavericks have overhauled their roster all three offseasons since winning the franchises first championship in 2011. With the longer contracts for Calderon and Ellis, that streak is likely to end next summer. Alex Colome Jersey .
