A brisk 54-ball 67 from Parthiv Patel helped India comfortably clinch the third Test by eight wickets, to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in Mohali on Tuesday.England began the fourth day 56 runs behind Indias first-innings total, with Joe Root and nightwatchman Gareth Batty at the crease. Batty lasted just one over in the first session before Ravindra Jadeja trapped him lbw.Englands hopes fell squarely on the shoulders of Root and the lower-middle order comprising of Jos Buttler, Chris Woakes and Haseeb Hameed - their opener who had sustained a hand injury earlier in the Test.Root helped them erase the deficit in the morning session but they lost two wicket by then. When he finally fell for a 179-ball 78 to Jadeja, Englands hopes of posting a sizeable total faded. Hameed dropped anchor and Chris Woakes played positively to persuade India that the second new ball was needed. Mohammed Shami took advantage and claimed two wickets in three deliveries. Hameed remained unbeaten on 59 as England ended their innings with a 102-run lead.Englands hopes of pulling of an unlikely win hinged on their bowlers taking wickets early. Woakes gave them hope by dismissing Murali Vijay in the second over of the innings, but an 81-run stand for the second wicket between Patel and Cheteshwar Pujara put the tourists out of the contest.Patel, playing for India more than eight years after his previous Test match, and four years after his last international, made his innings in Mohali count and smashed eleven fours and one six in his 67 that came from just 54 balls. India are now unbeaten in 16 consecutive Tests - their second-longest unbeaten sequence. Their longest such sequence consisted of 17 matches between 1985 and 1987.I was very nervous before the start of the Test, Patel said. The kind of welcome I got from the dressing room, it never felt I was joining them after eight years. Thats the beauty of this team. Playing aggressively suits my game. The intent was very important, and I backed myself. Ashwin was brilliant. The way he varied his pace was brilliant. He deceived even me. There wasnt much help in the wicket. Chris Paul Jersey Large .

Wholesale Custom Clippers Shirts . -- Nate Robinson has played for seven teams, so beating one of them is no longer a rare occurrence.ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Alex Cobb likes pitching against top teams, such as the New York Yankees. Cobb took a three-hit shutout into the ninth inning and led the Tampa Bay Rays to an 8-3 win Sunday that extended CC Sabathias winless streak to five, one short of his career high. "These big games, I love to have them," Cobb said. "They really make me focus in a lot more." Cobb (6-2) lost his shutout bid when Brett Gardner homered leading off the ninth and he wound up allowing two runs and five hits in 8 1-3 innings with eight strikeouts. "The young man knows how to pitch," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Hes got one of the best changes, split -change, whatever you want to call it in the game." Cesar Ramos followed Cobb and walked his first two batters and allowed David Adams two-run double. Joel Peralta struck out Ichiro Suzuki and Jayson Nix. Nix reached on an infield single in the third, when replays showed he appeared to be out. He was New Yorks only runner until Robinson Cano grounded a single to centre leading off the seventh.

"Im hurting the team," Sabathia said. "Not being able to make pitches with two strikes, fastball command. I feel fine. Its just one of those things where I feel like the ball is coming out pretty good, but Im just not making pitches." Sabathias career-high streak for consecutive winless starts is six, from July 3-Aug. 1, 2002, and March 31-Aprril 27, 2003, according to STATS.dddddddddddd "Hes missing some pitches and hes not getting away with it," Yankees pitching coach Larry Rothschild said. "Every mistake he made, they hit it. Early in the season, he had the same velocity and pitched really well. He was just executing pitches better." Sean Rodriguez and James Loney hit two-run homers for the Rays. "You put up eight runs against the Yankees, definitely something good, but the W is all that matters," Rodriguez said.
