England 103 for 5 (Stokes 12*, Bairstow 12*) trail India 455 (Kohli 167, Pujara 119, Ashwin 58, Moeen 3-98) by 352 runs Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsAt every critical juncture of this typically subcontinental Test match, Englands cricketers have inadvertently been telegraphing their sense of impending doom. It was visible in Alastair Cooks body language after losing a vital toss; it resurfaced on the first afternoon when Virat Kohli was dropped at fine leg by Adil Rashid, and there were tremors again this morning, when Moeen Alis offbreaks began to find the purchase necessary to check Indias innings before it could run away.But it wasnt until the second afternoon at Visakhapatnam that their deep-seated pessimism began gushing to the surface like an Andhra Pradesh oil strike. By the close of a gripping and debilitating third session, with Indias trio of spinners tormenting both sides of a succession of stick-or-twist blades, the destiny of this contest was all but pre-ordained.England limped to the close on 103 for 5, in reply to Indias 455, having contributed massively to their own downfall with a succession of hare-brained departures, but equally, having had their minds and techniques scrambled by the dripping-tap accuracy of, in particular, the offspinners R Ashwin and debutant Jayant Yadav.Ravindra Jadejas left-arm spin played its part as well, darting the ball in flat and fast to challenge the front pad and leave Englands batsmen no time to gather their thoughts between deliveries. But it was Ashwin who applied the surgical strikes, his 12 overs yielding 15 runs and two wickets, including the crowning scalp of Joe Root for 53 and the hapless Ben Duckett for 5.Meanwhile Jayant, shrewdly handed a debut in response to Englands selection of a record seven left-handers, showcased a tall and tidy technique, and accounted of one of that number as his maiden Test wicket. Moeen Ali, one of Englands four centurions at Rajkot, was struck on the shin as he pressed forward to another wicket-to-wicket delivery, and sent on his way lbw for 1 after Virat Kohli made a correct call for the DRS.Soon afterwards, Jayant should have had a second when he bounced an offbreak off the top of Ben Stokes off stump and into the keepers gloves without dislodging it. It was a memorably bizarre footnote to a fine first day of Test action from the new boy, that had earlier included a key role - once again in tandem with Ashwin - in a 64-run stand for Indias eighth wicket, but was perhaps most notable for the athletic slide and throw from deep square leg that ran out Haseeb Hameed for 13 and wrecked what little poise Englands innings had managed to generate.It hadnt looked too promising in the early moments of Englands innings either, and Cook in particular had lived dangerously in his 11-ball stay. He all but popped a leading edge back to the bowler in Mohammad Shamis opening over, but could do nothing about the beauty that bowled him in his second. After being lined up by two deliveries that curled away to the slips, Cook was beaten by a sensational nipbacker that smashed the off stump in two as it nipped back through the gate. But despite such a seismic shock to Englands system, there had been a glimmer of hope, in the form of a 47-run stand for the second wicket between Hameed and Root, that England might somehow extract enough runs from a still serviceable wicket to haul themselves close to first-innings parity. Root, in particular, had been responding impressively to the challenge of a skiddy low surface, and at one stage during a probing new-ball spell from Indias seamers had advanced on Shami to clip him aggressively through midwicket for four.But he was entirely culpable in the moment of madness that sold his younger partner down the river. Chivvying for the second run as he clipped Jadeja off the pads, he hurtled halfway down the track only to turn abruptly on his heels as Jayants throw fizzed in from the deep. Wriddhiman Saha did brilliantly in front of the stumps to gather and flick backwards in one moment, clipping the bails as Hameed tumbled for the crease in vain.At 51 for 2, the door was ajar and Indias spinners did not require a second invitation to bring out the battering ram. Duckett, whose stroke-laden technique had been an asset when counterattacking against Bangladesh, proved as a leaky as a fishermans net when facing the best spin bowler in the world, and having consistently exposed his stumps in a bid to attack Ashwin out of the rough, it was to nobodys great surprise when they duly were splattered for 5.Two overs later, and Ashwin had the big one. Root had been playing a blinder in the circumstances, galvanised by his own supreme form and the knowledge of his role in Hameeds demise. But, against Ashwin, even his free-scoring methods had been tempered, until Kohli tempted him fatally by removing his long-on and inviting a hoick over the top. He took the bait but failed to get to the pitch, and Umesh was on hand at long-off to cue Indias delirium.The familiar failings with the bat made Englands determined efforts with the ball earlier in the day somewhat redundant. Moeen, who had been underused on the opening day of the match, claimed three quick wickets in the second hour of the morning before Rashid and Stokes mopped up the resistance after lunch.Ashwin, Indias main source of runs on the day, was lucky to benefit from a drop at slip by Stokes when he had made 17, but the unlikely let-off had a spin-off benefit for England. India ran a single as the ball ricocheted off Stokes knee at slip, and one ball later, Stokes made amends by snaffling a faster, lower edge to his right to see off Indias main man, Kohli, for 167 instead.Kohlis early dismissal enabled England to keep Indias innings closer to 450 than 550, but by the close, in spite of a spirited 15-overs of resistance from Stokes and Jonny Bairstow, it was looking like more than enough.Dan Hampton Bears Jersey .

Anthony Miller Womens Jersey . -- Devin Hester is done returning kicks in Chicago.Junior middleweight world titlist Erislandy Laras four defenses have all come in matches that were less than well-received by boxing fans because he faced opponents given little chance to win or to even make the fights exciting. No. 5 figures to be perhaps the most lackluster of all.Lara will face faded former titleholder Yuri Foreman in the main event of the first Spike-televised Premier Boxing Champions card of 2017 on Jan. 13 (9 p.m. ET) at Hialeah Park Racing & Casino in Miami, Florida, PBC announced Tuesday.Lara, 33, a Cuban defector based in Houston, hopes to draw from the Cuban community in South Florida.Im very excited to be making my return to the ring in front of my Cuban fans in Miami on Spike, Lara said. Yuri Foreman is a former world champion who is dedicated to this sport and will be looking to win another world title. I expect nothing but the best from him. On fight night, Im making another statement and going for the knockout.Lara, who has so far defended against Ishe Smith, Delvin Rodriguez, Jan Zaveck and Vanes Martirosyan, has only two knockouts in his past nine bouts and has a defensive style that has long made for unappealing bouts. What is surprising is that Foreman has even been sanctioned by the WBA to challenge for the 154-pound belt.Foreman (34-2, 10 KOs) has done nothing to earn a world title shot, having fought only twice in wins against journeyman opponents since 2013. Since being knocked out twice in a row -- by Miguel Cotto in his title loss in 2010 and Pawel Wolak in 2011 -- Foreman has faced only club-level opposition in his previous six fights.But Foreman, 36, a native of Belarus living in Brooklyn, New York, is happy to get aanother shot at a belt, whether he earned it or not.ddddddddddddIm thrilled to be fighting for the world title, Foreman said. Im really looking forward to showcasing my skills and talent and becoming a two-time world champion. At this stage of my career, it would be a tremendous accomplishment. Lara is very crafty and many elite fighters have had trouble dealing with his style, but I have studied him and am very confident that I will defeat him by presenting him with something hes never seen before.In 2009, Foreman outpointed a badly weight-drained Daniel Santos to become the first Orthodox Jewish fighter to win a world title in more than 70 years. He will challenge Lara for the same belt.Foreman, an ordained rabbi, has agreed to fight Lara on the Jewish Sabbath -- the fight is on a Friday night -- which is something he steadfastly declined to do previously in his career because of his religious beliefs.As for Lara, he hopes a win will set up a world title unification fight if he wins.After this fight, its time to unify the division, then move up to win the middleweight titles, Lara said.In the scheduled 10-round co-feature, former super middleweight world titleholder Anthony Dirrell (29-1-1, 23 KOs), 32, of Flint, Michigan, will take on 21-year-old Norbert Nemesapati (24-4, 17 KOs), of Hungary, who has won three very low-level fights in a row since suffering a sixth-round knockout to contender Callum Smith in September.Dirrell has won two fights in a row since losing his world title by majority decision to Badou Jack in April 2015.
