India 455 and 98 for 3 (Kohli 56*, Rahane 22*) lead England 255 (Stokes 70, Bairstow 53, Root 53, Ashwin 5-67) by 298 runs Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsThree days into Visakhapatnams maiden Test match, the prospects of England emerging from this contest with anything less than a hefty defeat remain no less bleak than they had appeared at the height of their top-order implosion on the second afternoon.However, this was a day on which their hopes of a fightback in the remaining three fixtures were exponentially boosted, thanks to a feisty series of performances with bat and ball that required Indias champion bowler and batsman, R Ashwin and Virat Kohli, to summon their very best efforts in order maintain their sides dominance.The tone for Englands day was set by a spirited stand of 110 between their overnight pair of Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow, but their fate was eventually sealed by the wiles of Ashwin, who claimed his 22nd five-wicket haul but first against England, to secure India a priceless first-innings lead of 200.Then, after India had decided not to enforce the follow-on, Kohli reached the close on 56 not out, another imperious display to follow on from his first-innings 167, and one in which he was obliged to overcome an exemplary display of incision and experience from Englands senior bowlers, Stuart Broad and James Anderson, whose combined figures to date are 3 for 22 in 14 overs.Indias overall lead by stumps was an imposing 298, and on a surface now offering sharp turn to the spinners and clear signs of uneven bounce, mere survival will be a challenge beyond anything that England have yet encountered on this trip. Nevertheless, given the na?ve hours batting that had condemned them on the second afternoon, this was a response from which is no platitude to admit that they will take the positives.The general assumption before the start of play was that England would continue to stumble against Indias spin-led attack, and Bairstows alarming arrival on the field of play merely sharpened those thoughts. Jogging out to the middle to resume his innings on 12 not out, Bairstow lost his footing as he crossed the boundary line and had to hobble back to the dressing-room for treatment after rolling his ankle.He showed no ill-effects however, turning quickly for two runs in Umesh Yadavs first over of the day to open his account for the day, and from that moment on, Englands sixth-wicket pairing continued in the same prolific vein that they have displayed all year. Between them, they have now made 772 runs in seven stands in 2016, the most by any batting pair.India stuck doggedly to their guns throughout a fallow first hour - arguably too doggedly, with Ashwin initially stymied in a nine-over spell that yielded an early wasted review for lbw and one half-chance for a stumping off Stokes. However, there was little of the threat and penetration that he had displayed on the second evening.That, in part, was down to the quality of Englands batting. With Bairstow working the singles while Stokes interspersed his hugely improved defensive technique with an assassins eye for anything remotely loose, the pair had come within ten minutes of batting clean through the morning session when Umesh produced a beauty, a fast inswinging yorker that crashed into Bairstows stumps via the base of his pad.It was a body blow to Englands hopes of approaching parity but, when Kohli opted to take the second new ball soon after the interval, Stokes and Adil Rashid were ready to take full advantage with an enterprising counterattack.The hardness of the new ball suited Stokes methods just fine, as he clipped Mohammad Shamis second ball off the pads through square leg, before rifling a ferocious pull through midwicket. At the other end, Rashid snaffled three fours in a single over from Umesh, the best of them a scorching cover drive that left Kohli at slip spitting with rage.Sure enough, his seamers were soon banished and Kohli instead threw the ball back to his senior spinners, who responded with the days most vital breakthrough. Propping forward to the extra bounce of Ashwin, Stokes was given out lbw by umpire Kumar Dharmasena for 70, even though replays implied that he had grazed an inside edge. No matter - the ball had also deflected into the hands of silly point, so the verdict was correct even if the mode of dismissal was moot.Zafar Ansari did his best to support Rashid, who was accumulating fluently at the other end, but having flicked a well-timed four through midwicket off Ashwin, he was pinned on the back leg as he played round a full ball from Ravi Jadeja, and burned up Englands last review with one of the more futile attempts at a reprieve since the last days of Shane Watson.Broad might have wished he hadnt - his subsequent lbw against Ashwin looked distinctly leg-sided but England had no more recourse to the third umpire. One ball later, however, Anderson had no such doubts as he was nailed plumb in front of middle on the back foot.Englands tail had once again been docked cheaply - the last four wickets had fallen for 30 in 12.2 overs. But, if there had been any suspicion that England were about to surrender the contest and conserve their energy for next weeks third Test in Mohali, then Broad confounded that by bounding in with the new ball in spite of the fact that he was still awaiting the results of a scan on his injured right foot. At the close of play, it was confirmed that he had strained a tendon and, though he will continue to be monitored for the rest of the match, he will be fit to continue.After back-to-back maidens before tea, Broad resumed with the sort of rhythm and bounce through his action that brought images of Trent Bridge 2015 and Johannesburg 2016 swimming into the minds eye.He grabbed two wickets in 25 balls before conceding a single run - both of them overturned on review after initially being given not out by Rod Tucker. Murali Vijay inside-edged a nipbacker onto his thigh, for Joe Root to snaffle with a dive in the slips, before KL Rahul feathered the thinnest of tickles through to the keeper. It was so thin, in fact, that no-one behind the bat was sure thered been an edge, but Broad was convinced, and so too, crucially, was Haseeb Hameed at short leg. His vigorous insistence was enough to persuade Alastair Cook to take a look - something for Kohli and India to consider as they come to terms with the nuances of DRS usage.So out came Kohli with India in a bit of bother at 16 for 2. But perhaps the single most telling measure of his class was his response to Broad with his tail up. Where none of his team-mates had been able to get the ball off the square in his spell, Kohli helped himself to six runs from the first five balls he faced, a flick off the pads for two and a filleted four through the covers.After six overs of Broad, the return of Anderson offered a subtly different challenge, and Kohlis fellow first-innings centurion, Cheteshwar Pujara, was not equal to it on this occasion. After being pushed back onto his stumps by a sharp bouncer, Anderson followed up with an offcutter to open his gate, before completing his three-card trick with a pummelling nipbacker that burst into the top of Pujaras off stumpAjinkya Rahane, on 2, was lucky to survive an edge off Rashid that deflected to safety off Bairstows knee, when Stokes would have been lurking at slip to pounce. But he endured to the close, on 22 not out, a distant second fiddle to the majestic Kohli, who brought up his second half-century of the match from 63 balls. He was playing on a different surface from the rest of the players on display. England, for all their efforts, are unlikely to be allowed to share his private net. Salomon Shoes Sale Clearance .

On Tuesday, Ottawa placed forward Cory Conacher and defenceman Joe Corvo on waivers as trade rumours swirl around the Senators. While Manchester United have put forth some impressive efforts in both Europa League and EFL Cup action, it has yet to carry over consistently into Premier League play. They look for a second victory this week Sunday at Goodison Park, where Everton will try to overtake them for sixth in the Premier League table.Manchester United are 3-2-0 in all competitions and 1-3-0 in their last four top-flight contests, but that extends to 1-5-1 since defeating title-holders Leicester City 4-1 on Sept. 24. After playing West Ham to a 1-1 draw last Sunday, they put the Hammers to the sword in the cup quarterfinals Wednesday in a 4-1 romp at Old Trafford as Zlatan Ibrahimovic had a brace around a pair of second-half goals by Anthony Martial.I am always expecting this, especially because we are playing so well, manager Jose Mourinho told MUTV, the teams official website. We are doing it in the cups: four against Feyenoord, four Fenerbahce, four West Ham. In the Premier League, apart from four against Leicester and three Swansea, the matches are all about zero and one.And that has been the rub in Mourinhos first season at Old Trafford as United (5-5-3) enter the weekend in sixth place but 11 points back of his former side Chelsea. Despite being 35 years old, Ibrahimovic is still in top form as evidenced by his team-high 11 goals in all competitions. The manager is hoping for better things to come from the 21-year-old Martial after his two goals Wednesday.He is working harder than before, to be honest, Mourinho said regarding the France international. When you score goals I think it helps for happiness to be back. As an attacking player you can play very, very well, but if there are no goals then the happiness is not there.United will face Hull City in the EFL Cups two-legged semifinal next month, and Mourinho will be back on the touchline after serving a one-match ban for kicking a water bottle during last Sundays contest. But one player who wont be available is Wayne Rooney. The Everton academy graduate picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in Wednesdays win and will not have the opportunity to match Sir Bobby Charltons all-time club record of 249 goals.Mourinho, though, will have the services of midfielders Paul Pogba and Marouane Fellaini after they both served bans for yellow card accumulations. Wide back Luke Shaw, however, is out after suffering an injury Wednesday.After a blazing start under new manager Ronald Koeman, Everton (5-4-4) have spit the bit somewhat by going 1-3-4 over their last eight matches in league play. The managers return to Saint Marys was an unhappy one, as his former Southampton side came away with a 1-0 victory last Sunday.Like United, the offence has dried uup for the Toffees to a degree.dddddddddddd After netting 10 goals in their first five matches, Everton have claimed just six in the last eight while the defence has shipped 12 in that span. Despite the struggles, Koeman is pleased with where his team is at this point.First of all you need to work hard and thats the best way to turn things around, he told Evertons official website Friday. We know we play Sunday at home in a big game against a big club. Still we are in a good position in the table and, if somebody had said to me at the beginning of the season that Everton at the beginning of December will be seventh and if they beat Manchester United we will go sixth, I would be happy.Koeman caused a bit of angst amongst his Merseyside faithful this week when he Tweeted out a picture of his familys Christmas tree that had a little too much red to his supporters liking. Within an hour, he tweeted out a second picture of the tree in a more neutral white theme and added, I Think there are more serious problems in the world, than making a big story out of a #ChristmasTree !!!Romelu Lukaku has seven of Evertons 16 league goals but he has failed to score in the last three Premier League matches. The Belgium international recorded a hat trick against United in a wild 5-5 draw in 2013 while playing for West Bromwich Albion, but he has failed to score in seven matches against them while donning the Toffees kit.While Lukaku always draws the most attention given his ability to create purple patches of goals, his teammates know they must also deliver to end Evertons current struggles.The results havent gone the way wed have wanted the last couple and its up to us boys to put it right, winger Yannick Bolasie said. Everton against Manchester United, its always been a big game, especially at Goodison and Im sure the fans are going to be up for it.But us boys have got to be equal and ready to stand up and put in a hard effort.Everton will be at full strength for this match, with midfielder Muhamed Besic the only player unavailable as he continues recovering from a torn ACL that has prevented him from making his season debut.Manchester United did the double over Everton in league play, posting clean sheets in both victories and running out 3-0 victors in last seasons corresponding fixture. They also posted a 2-1 victory at Wembley Stadium in the FA Cup semifinals, with Martial finding the winner deep in stoppage time.Everton had won four of the six prior meetings before last season but are only 8-8-34 versus the Red Devils in all competitions in the Premier League era.
