to use the (All-Star) break, and it will be all

New Zealand 152 for 1 (Williamson 66*, Latham 56*) trail India 318 (Vijay 65, Pujara 62, Jadeja 42*, Boult 3-67, Santner 3-94) by 166 runsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsAn unbroken century stand between Tom Latham and Kane Williamson led New Zealands response to Indias first-innings total of 318, moving them to 152 for 1 before rain washed out the final session of day two. http://www.bengalsrookiestore.com/Bengals-Jake-Fisher-Jersey/ . But New Zealands position was still far from secure, with the spinners getting the ball to turn and jump with increasing frequency as the day wore on.A light rain began just before the players went off for tea, and intensified during the break to become a heavy shower. The rain stopped at roughly 3.15pm, but the umpires decided, after an inspection at 3.45pm, to call off further play. From the start of their partnership halfway through the first session until about an hour after lunch, Williamson and Latham looked mostly untroubled against R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. Both batsmen looked to stay on the back foot as much as possible and use the slowness of the Green Park pitch to their advantage. Williamson did this to great effect, manoeuvering the ball into gaps through the leg side and behind point.Both used the sweep frequently. Latham got in trouble on a few occasions when he swept from a stump-to-stump line, but the shot also brought him a fair proportion of his runs. Williamson was a little more selective, playing it only off balls that were going down the leg side or, more commonly, getting his front leg a long way across to balls pitching outside off - effectively negating lbw - and lapping or paddling behind square.But as they neared their half-centuries, things began to happen. Ashwin seemed to find the right pace for the pitch, tossing it up a little higher and slower to entice the batsmen forward. Williamson, stretching out to defend, took a blow to the helmet as the ball dipped on him and bounced disconcertingly.A couple of overs later, Virat Kohli threw the ball to M Vijay, bringing on the part-time offspinner to change his main spinners ends. In the space of three balls, Vijay beat Lathams edge with a sharply spinning offbreak and had an lbw appeal turned down after hitting his pad on the full with a ball that may just have been angling down the leg side.Ashwin had another lbw appeal turned down in the next over, when a ball spun sharply back as Williamson tried to defend it off the back foot. It probably struck him outside the line, but it was no longer so easy for the batsmen to sit back against the spinners.Then came the two big moments of the session, both off Jadejas bowling. On 47, Latham swept Jadeja onto his boot. The ball popped up to short leg, where KL Rahul grabbed the ball on the juggle, but replays - initially called for to check whether the ball had hit the ground after hitting the boot - suggested it had made contact with the strap of his helmet while he took the catch, contravening Law 32.3. The relevant clause says: it is not a fair catch if at any time after having been struck by the bat and before a catch is completed the ball has touched a protective helmet worn by a fielder.Then, five overs from tea, Richard Kettleborough shook his head when Jadeja implored him to give Williamson out caught behind. Replays picked up a noise when the ball passed Williamsons bottom-edge as he went back to cut, but Ultra Edge did not show any deviation at that point.Indias only success came in the first session, via Umesh Yadav, who struck with a full, straight ball that Martin Guptill, rather than playing down the ground with a straight bat, looked to work into the leg side, across his front pad. He missed, and ball struck pad in front of middle stump.It was the end of an edgy innings from an opener still trying to find a method to succeed in Test cricket. He hit Jadeja for two fours, one a straight hit over the top that he didnt quite middle, but also looked troubled by the left-arm spinner, surviving an lbw shout thanks to an inside-edge and nearly losing his off stump while leaving one that went with the arm.In the morning, Jadeja and Umesh added 27 to Indias overnight total, stretching their last-wicket partnership to 41, before Neil Wagner brought their innings to a close at 318. Jadeja went after the bowling, particularly the left-arm spin of Mitchell Santner, which he hit for two fours and a big six over long-on in three overs, and ended unbeaten on 42 off 44. Umesh survived 15 balls before gloving a short ball from Wagner down the leg side to the wicketkeeper BJ Watling. http://www.bengalsrookiestore.com/Bengals-Tyler-Boyd-Jersey/ . Hey!"

CHICAGO -- Even at his lowest point, Edwin Jackson kept believing he would somehow turn his season around. It sure is looking like an about-face now. Jackson earned his third straight win, combining with four relievers on a four-hitter, and Anthony Rizzo drove in all the runs to lead the Chicago Cubs to a 3-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday night. "This is probably the craziest start Ive had in baseball," Jackson said, referring to his season. "Its a game of grinding it out. As long as you believe and you have the confidence that you can come in and turn things around, its all that matters. "Nobody expected me to start like I did -- myself, the front office, the team, the managers. No one. But its a game, you have to keep grinding. You can either sink or you can swim." The Cubs almost went down at the end of this one. St. Louis had the tying run at the plate in the ninth inning after Kevin Gregg dropped a throw covering first base after Rizzo made a diving stop on Allen Craigs grounder and David Freese walked. Alfonso Soriano battled the lights and made a shoestring catch on Jon Jays liner to end the game. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny was then seen arguing vehemently with plate umpire Dan Bellino and might have made contact with him in front of the first-base dugout. He also had to be restrained. Matheny said he wasnt sure if he made contact with Bellino or if he will be disciplined by baseball. He was actually upset at the umpire for taking off his mask after a called third strike on Matt Adams to start the inning. "It had more to do with the umpire and how he mistreated one of our players, with Adams," Matheny said. "It had nothing to do with the call. It had everything to do with going too far." Either way, the Cubs escaped with the win. Gregg got his 16th save in 18 chances, and St. Louis five-game winning streak ended. Jackson (6-10) struck out five without a walk in seven innings. Starlin Castro added three singles and scored two runs for the Cubs, who won for the fifth time in six games. The Cardinals lost Matt Holliday to tightness in his right hamstring when he ran out a grounder in the ffourth inning. http://www.bengalsrookiestore.com/Hats/. Rizzo delivered an RBI double in the first inning after Castro singled with one out and made it 3-0 in the third off Jake Westbrook (5-4), poking a two-run single to left past a drawn-in infield. That was enough for Jackson, who didnt give up either a run or a walk for the first time this season. He also matched his longest outing of the year and improved to 5-2 in his last seven starts after opening 1-8. "Hopefully, this is (a sign of) things to come in the second half," Rizzo said. The Cubs made some crisp plays behind Jackson, including Brian Bogusevics leaping catch against the centre-field wall to rob Adams of an extra-base hit leading off the seventh. The Cardinals had runners on first and second in the eighth after Blake Parker gave up a leadoff single to Jay and walked pinch-hitter Daniel Descalso with one out. James Russell then retired Matt Carpenter on a liner to centre, and Pedro Strop threw a wild pitch to put runners on second and third before Carlos Beltran struck out swinging to end the threat. Westbrook went seven innings, allowing three runs and seven hits. But it was a tough night for the NL Central leaders, particularly with Holliday leaving the game. He came up clutching his hamstring halfway to first base on a grounder to short in the fourth. He walked off gingerly after being tended to by a trainer and didnt go out to left field in the bottom half. "I think Ill have a better feel for what it looks like (Friday)," Holliday said. "And hopefully, it will be day to day and Ill be able to use the (All-Star) break, and it will be all right." NOTES: Beltran played in his 2,000th game. ... The Cubs Scott Baker threw a bullpen session at Wrigley Field on Thursday and will begin a minor league rehab stint with Class A Kane County on Sunday. The right-hander sat out last season with Minnesota after having Tommy John surgery and had a setback in spring training. Chicago manager Dale Sveum said he will make at least four rehab starts before joining the Cubs. ... RHP Joe Kelly (0-3, 4.15 ERA) starts Friday for the Cardinals, with RHP Carlos Villanueva (2-4, 3.63) going for the Cubs.
