One of the defining images of Indias last home series against England is from
the last over of the second day of the Mumbai Test: Alastair Cook and Kevin
Pietersen have forged a solid reply to what had initially seemed a match-winning
327 from India on a pitch that looked likely to turn square.

Promo . England are 176 for 2, India are looking for a moment of
inspiration to leave them feeling good about the next days play. They turn to
Harbhajan Singh, who is looking to revive his Test career. He comes in for the
last over, draws Cooks edge off a short ball, but what have we got here?
Virender Sehwag is upright at slip. The ball hits his boot, his hands are up
around his waist. The moment is gone. Cook and Pietersen come back the next day
to trample Indias challenge.Four years on, India have still been dropping
catches at slip but in the dying moments of sessions they have been switched
on.When a new batting pair arrests a collapse in the last half hour, or tired
bowlers prise out a set batsman, their team usually grows a leg upon resumption.
A lot of Test cricket is about physical and mental endurance, about
concentrating when it is easy for the mind to wander, and, this time around,
India have met these requirements for longer than their opponents in taking a
2-0 lead.Two prime examples of India outlasting England over a days play were
seen on days one and two of the Mohali Test. On day one England had recovered
from 92 for 4 at lunch, losing just two wickets over the next three and a half
hours. Jonny Bairstow and Chris Woakes looked at ease going into the last half
hour. If England could end the day six down, they would have done enough after
winning the toss on a pitch likely to assist spin. India delayed taking the new
ball, but rookie offspinner Jayant Yadav produced the inspiration they needed in
the 84th over. First, a flat delivery took the outside edge as it ran across
Bairstow from around the wicket. The next one drifted and dipped before turning
in to trap him lbw. The new ball was duly asked for. Umesh Yadav and Mohammed
Shami, who had bowled 14 and 18 overs until then, bounded in for a final burst.
Umesh kept beating Woakes outside edge, but also kept adjusting his line to move
it closer to off stump until he pegged back the stump itself. A probable,
respectable 280 for 6 turned into 268 for 8. Of course, Shami struck with his
first ball next morning. England finished with 283.By the last hour on the
second day, through one lucky break - Cheteshwar Pujaras dismissal to a long hop
- some sensational fielding, and disciplined bowling to Virat Kohli, England had
willed themselves back into the contest. India had gone from 148 for 2 to 204
for 6; four more wickets for 50-odd runs could have proved disastrous for them,
given they had to bat last on a dry surface. R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja,
though, saw off the threat in that last hour. Jadeja, shepherded along by
Ashwin, played his most restrained Test innings. England would have probably
given an arm for two more wickets on the day, but they didnt have enough left in
them to bowl disconcertingly to the lower order - as Indias quicks would do to
theirs in the second innings.Before that, in the Visakhapatnam Test, Jadeja
broke through Cooks stubborn 188-ball resistance with something special off what
turned out to be the last ball of the fourth day. In Englands second innings in
Mohali, Ashwin came back for the last over to dismiss Ben Stokes with an
inspired review. That wicket was crucial as England went on to write off the
deficit and ask India to chase over 100.Over the first three Tests of the
series, not counting a teams natural progression to being bowled out or the
wickets lost when pushing for a declaration, India have taken 13 wickets in the
last half-hour of sessions to Englands five. In a series in which England have
lost 53 wickets to Indias 48, those last half-hours have proved to be the
difference.For long India have had the reputation of being a side whose
concentration and fitness wavers as sessions and days wear on. Here they have
shown the skill, the alertness and the resilience to keep coming back when it
can be easy to start thinking of lunch, tea or that massage at the end of the
day.

as the starter while incumbent Ricky Ray was injured. Collaros also started
Torontos 23-20 regular-season finale loss to Montreal — Ray didnt dress because
the Argos had already clinched first in the East Division — but was one of three
quarterbacks to play that day.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- An unlikely kick a week ago doomed Florida State.An
unlikely blocked kick now might have saved the Seminoles season.DeMarcus Walker
pushed through the line and blocked Miami kicker Michael Badgleys point-after
attempt with 1:38 remaining, and that was the difference as No. 23 Florida State
escaped with a 20-19 victory over the 10th-ranked Hurricanes on Saturday night
-- the Seminoles seventh straight win over their archrival.Thats a Florida
State-Miami game, Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher said. Its great competition. Heck
of a game.Heck of a finish, too.Walker is from Jacksonville, Florida -- which
was hit hard by Hurricane Matthew, and that was on the Florida State stars mind
as he lined up for that crucial point-after play.I was just so heartbroken with
everything that happened, Walker said. I did it for them.Dalvin Cook and Kermit
Whitfield had touchdown catches in the third quarter. Deondre Francois, who left
in the first half after being shaken up, came back and ended up with 234 yards
passing for Florida State (4-2, 1-2 Atlantic Coast Conference).My team needed
me, Francois said. The trainers got me right.The Hurricanes (4-1, 1-1) were in
position to tie it after Brad Kaaya connected with Stacy Coley on an 11-yard
touchdown pass. But the 6-foot-3 Walker pushed through some blockers and got his
arm outstretched just enough to knock away what would have been the tying point
from Badgley.So once again, in a series defined so many times by missed kicks by
the Seminoles -- like Wide Right I in 1991 that wound up helping Miami win the
national championship, an accomplishment the Hurricanes celebrated the 25th
anniversary of Saturday -- theres now a new piece of lore.Not being able to
protect well enough to kick an extra point is tough, Miami coach Mark Richt
said. Tough for everybody. But, to their credit, somebody cared enough to blast
through and get it. It was a great effort on their part.Florida State saw its
22-game home winning streak end last weekend when North Carolina connected on a
54-yard field goal as time expired. But the streak over Miami lives on.Cook
finished with 150 yards rushing and had a 59-yard scoring catch to spark the
Seminoles second-half surge, and Whitfields 20-yard catch on his 23rd birthday
put Florida State ahead for good.Coley caught a 21-yard touchdown pass from
Kaaya to help Miami take an early 13-0 lead. But for the third straight year,
the Hurricanes saw a second-half lead sslip away.

Cher. Braxton Berrios set up Coleys second TD catch with a punt
return inside the Florida State 20, but it wasnt enough.Its a heartbreaker,
Kaaya said.Kaaya lost a molar in the third quarter when he took a
helmet-to-helmet hit from Florida States Matthew Thomas, who was ejected for
targeting -- the second straight year a Seminoles player was tossed for
targeting the Miami quarterback. And in the fourth quarter, Miamis Jamal Carter
was thrown out for a targeting hit against Whitfield.Some Miami fans showered
the field with debris at that point, and Richt wasnt happy either.But in the
end, it was a kick that decided everything -- and the break went Florida States
way.This just shows the character and fight these guys have, Cook said. Hats off
to Miami. Great team. They battled.THE TAKEAWAYFlorida State: Cook has two
career touchdown catches -- both against Miami. ... The Seminoles lost safety
Nate Andrews in the first quarter, who was hurt on a play where he tackled
Miamis David Njoku. ... Florida State now has a pair of seven-game winning
streaks against Miami, this other coming between 1963 and 1972. ... The
Seminoles are now 13-2 under Fisher when playing in NFL stadiums.Miami: The
Hurricanes went 281 minutes, 28 seconds this season without trailing. They came
into the night as one of only two FBS teams who hadnt faced a deficit this
season, with Boise State now alone on that list. ... RT Sunny Odogwu got hurt in
the fourth quarter, on a drive where the Hurricanes allowed back-to-back sacks
of Kaaya at a critical time. Odogwu was taken off the field on a cart after time
expired.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe second-longest active streak of AP Top 25 poll
appearances will live on -- since Florida State surely will hold a spot for the
76th straight week after this comeback win. Miami likely would have climbed a
spot or two with a victory, though now the Hurricanes will drop several spots
when the next installment of the poll comes out Monday.UP NEXTFlorida State: The
Seminoles host Wake Forest on Oct. 15, looking for their fifth straight win in
that series. Score of the last four matchups: 178-22, though last year was
24-16.Miami: The next two games will likely decide Miamis fate in the ACC
Coastal race. North Carolina visits the Hurricanes on Oct. 15, five days before
Miami goes to Virginia Tech.
