Joe Root says England need to kick on and post a score over 500 after their great start on day one of the first Test against India in Rajkot. Gabriel Mercado Jersey . Root (124) notched his 11th Test ton, and first in Asia, while sharing in terrific 179-run stand for the fourth wicket with Moeen Ali (99no) as England closed on 311-4.It has been a great start to this Test match, said Root. Weve got something to build on, but now its about going on to score 500, 550. A pick of the action from the first day of the first Test between India and England in Rajkot My first hundred in Asia has felt a long time coming, especially having had a few starts last year in the UAE, so to start this tour with a century is very pleasing.You want to make sure youre always contributing, and as a senior batsman now, I want to lead the way and make those big contributions which win you games of cricket. Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ￡6.99. No contract. We always speak about partnerships, but especially in this part of the world, and I thought the way Moeen started his innings and then flourished throughout it, was fantastic.We bounced well off each other in the middle, and managed to rotate the strike quite comfortably. Joe Root was dismissed after being controversially caught and bowled by Umesh Yadav who tossed the ball up after having it between his palms I was disgusted with the shot I played to get out. There was some debate about whether it was a catch, but you see the slow motion on the big screen and have to take it on the chin. Sometimes these things go for your, sometimes against.Fingers-crossed we can do the hard yards with the bat early on tomorrow, as its very important in India to get your runs early and score big in the first innings, then we can put some pressure on them when we get the ball in hand.Root believes there was enough on offer from the pitch to offer England some encouragement when they do eventually get their hands on the ball. Theres a bit of invariable bounce early on as there are quite a few cracks in that wicket already added Root. That could really work in our favour, especially as we have some brilliant reverse-swing bowlers in our seam attack.It was quite extraordinary the amount it swung today, even just 35 overs in. It took me by surprise, but its very promising for us to see that so early on in the Test match.Live coverage of the first Test between India and England continues on Sky Sports 2 and across selected mobile devices.

When the next inning rolled around Wednesday, though, Nationals manager Matt Williams sent Strasburg to the mound to face the top of the Dodgers order in what would become a 3-2 victory for Washington, the first time this season the No. Sergio Aguero Jersey . An unconventional night for Texas-El Paso nearly led to the Miners getting a huge upset.

The Oil Kings responded, as Pollock scored his team-leading 11th goal of the post-season to put Edmonton on the board 20 seconds into the second period and Samuelsson scored exactly two minutes later to make it 3-2.
