Winning a Test match on a good pitch despite losing the toss gave Virat Kohli great satisfaction. India kept England to 283 in the first innings, earned themselves a substantial lead and then kept finding ways to pick up wickets on a surface that posed very little threat to the batsmen in terms of the ball spinning wildly, keeping low or bouncing alarmingly.I think its exactly been 12 months about us playing on unfair pitches and the question has turned itself, Kohli said. So we dont need to say much about the pitches. We are a team that is focused on playing good cricket to win sessions and situations, or if we are in trouble come back out of those tough situations.A lot of the rescue work for India in Mohali was done by the bowlers. R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Jayant Yadav recorded match-turning half-centuries - the first time Indias Nos. 7, 8 and 9 passed 50 in the same Test innings - to help take the first-innings score from 156 for 5 to a massive 417.I think the first two days of the game is exactly what the team wants to do as a Test team, Kohli said. When you are put in trouble after losing the toss on a good wicket, the bowlers stand up. Then on day two, you are 156 for 5 and then your lower order steps up.From a point where they were in danger of conceding a lead, India pulled ahead by 134 runs and with the help of that picked up four wickets to end the third days play firming in charge.Ashwin bowled Alastair Cook through the gate and did Moeen Ali with his dip. Parthiv Patel, playing his first Test in eight years, pulled off a stunning low catch to dismiss the years top run-getter, Jonny Bairstow, just before stumps and India capped things off with the wicket of Ben Stokes with a fine call for DRS. The match turned on the back of India showing better skill than England as opposed to them exploiting home advantage.It was a perfectly good wicket for cricket, Kohli said. It was a wicket where if you persisted long enough you get the results that you want. And I felt that we did that pretty well to get the result our way.Speaking to Star Sports at the post-match presentation, he added that the celebrations by Englands supporters when Cook won the right to bat first had spurred India on. I was surprised to hear the cheer when they won the toss, he said. You still have to go out and win the game. We got motivated by that actually.His opposite number confirmed the same; Cook compared the Mohali pitch to Rajkot, where England had three centurions after winning the toss to set the game up. He also admitted that, with hindsight, he may have gone in with four fast bowlers and two spinners.Key to Indias success were their fast bowlers. On the final day, when the spinners were kept at bay by Haseeb Hameed and the rest of Englands lower-middle order, Mohammed Shami was given the second new ball and produced a fine spell of short-pitched bowling to dismiss Chris Woakes and Adil Rashid in the same over.Kohli praised Shami for becoming a better bowler since his knee injury in 2015. He is rushing in much more now and he is able to sustain that energy now for four-five good overs and hes bowling long spells, Kohli said. Hes become more aware of what he wants to do and what he has to do to be a good Test bowler and hes making those important breakthroughs.Even Umesh, for that matter, they both have bowled over 145kph consistently and on these kind of pitches, to not lose heart and keep coming in and running in and bouncing guys, I think speaks a lot of their character and Im only waiting to play on pitches that assist them a little bit, itll be nice to see what they can do there as well.The resources that India have at their disposal - two outright fast bowlers, a seam bowler in Ishant Sharma, a swing bowler in Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and top-quality spinners who can all bat too - has left them feeling they have what it takes to do well on all conditions.Even when we played in Kolkata earlier this year [where they beat New Zealand] we showed that we are not a side that wants square turners, Kohli said. We have enough skill to play good cricket and win against any team and thats the kind of belief we have created in the change room and that can only happen when you are not worried about whats happening outside that door. You focus on your skills and strengths and move along.Kohli had been less than happy with the surface for the first Test of the series, feeling it had a bit too much grass on it - sparking suspicions that the remainder of the series would feature the ball turning from day one. While the decks in Visakhapatnam and Mohali were not green, they were not as bad as some feared either, with Indias victory in the latter proving that the toss would not be the end of the contest.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- After yet another bad trip to Carolina, the Arizona Cardinals have a losing record halfway through their schedule, and a season that was supposed to be so successful is slipping away.To make matters worse, the Cardinals lost two significant players in Sundays 30-20 loss -- left tackle Jared Veldheer and defensive back Tyrann Mathieu. Veldheer will be placed on injured reserve and is out for the season. Coach Bruce Arians said Mathieu will be sidelined three-to-six weeks with a shoulder injury.Several other players are banged up so this weeks bye comes at a useful time.We will not practice Tuesday and Wednesday, Arians said at his regular Monday news conference. Well just do a lot of film work. Physically, we need to rest up. ... We wouldnt have many guys to practice with anyway.The Cardinals limp into their off week at 3-4-1 after going 13-3 last seasonMuch of the talk at his news conference was about the referees. He was asked what is contributing to widespread complaints about officiating around the NFL.You trying to get me fined? Arians said. Yeah, I think its something that has to be addressed. Now that Ive been on a couple of competition committee meeting calls so far, its always the topic that theyre very concerned with. Were all very concerned with it.The Cardinals were penalized 10 times for 88 yards. He said most were holding calls that could have gone either way. They led to some extra-long down and distances.Ive never had two third downs where we completed balls for 18 yards or more and didnt make a first down, ` Arians said, didnt even get half of it.Once Arizona faced second down and 44 to go, a first in his five decades of coaching, Arians said.The biggest officiating issue came early in the game when Thomas Davis picked up what had been ruled a fumble by Carson Palmer and ran 46 yards for Carolinas first touchdown. Replays clearly showed it should have been ruled an incomplete pass..dddddddddddd But Arians said he was told the replay system in the referees booth upstairs had been shut off because there were problems getting the right feed. So there was nothing to review.Arians also knew hed been criticized for not challenging a third down catch by Greg Olsen on the sideline at the Arizona 5-yard line. Replays showed one of Olsens feet landed out of bounds.So rather than kick a field goal, the Panthers moved in for another touchdown.Arians said the ball already had been snapped when his coaches upstairs saw the slow-motion replay that showed Olsens foot out of bounds.Asked why he didnt call timeout to allow for a review, Arians said, There was not enough suspicion. It looked like a catch.Arians said he thought Palmer, despite being sacked eight times, had by far his best game of the season, completing 35 of 46 passes for 363 yards and three touchdowns with one interception that Arians called just bad luck.Arians also liked the play of running back David Johnson, who passed 100 yards from scrimmage for the eighth game in a row. Johnson rushed for only 24 yards in 10 carries but caught seven passes for 84 yards.But Arizona was overpowered on both lines of scrimmage most of the day. Now the offensive line must adjust to a new player, John Wetzel, at the all-important left tackle position. Wetzel filled in for then-injured left guard Mike Iupati earlier this season.Sunday marked the third straight time Arizona made a fruitless trip to Charlotte. The Cardinals lost a playoff game there in 2014 and were blown out there in last years NFC championship game.After a few meetings early this week, the players will be off until Monday, when they begin preparation for their Nov. 13 home game against San Francisco.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
