Essex 204 for 3 (Bopara 81*, Zaidi 54*) beat Kent 154 for 9 (Blake 37, Walter 3-26) by 50 runsScorecard Ravi Bopara underlined his liking for the Kent attack when he hammered six sixes in an unbeaten 81 to lead Essex to their third successive NatWest T20 Blast victory.The Essex captain, who also posted 74 not out when the two teams met in the Royal London Cup two-and-a-half weeks ago, was on fire, and was particularly harsh on Mitch Claydon, who he deposited for two maximums in the final over of the innings.Bopara, who batted for 43 balls with six fours as well as those half-a-dozen sixes, put on an unbeaten 131 off 10.2 overs with Ashar Zaidi, who was in similar form himself. Zaidi finished unbeaten on 54 off 33 balls with five fours and three sixes.And all this after Kent put Essex in and Jesse Ryder went third ball, beaten for pace by Kagiso Rabada and edging to wicketkeeper Sam Billings without scoring.Kent started their reply in brisk fashion, landing a succession of sixes themselves, eight in the final analysis, but they became becalmed mid-innings as the required run-rate topped 14 with seven overs remaining and kept growing.After the departure of Ryder, the Essex innings was sparked into action by Tom Westley and Kishen Velani. Westley drove Rabada through the covers two balls into his innings and pulled another boundary through midwicket when the young South African dropped one short.Velani was no less punishing, twice giving himself room to chop Claydon through the covers and then greeting Ivan Thomas with a controlled, lofted edge to third man for another four.The second-wicket partnership had put on 42 in 4.5 overs when the pair collided midwicket chasing a second run and Velani failed to beat Sam Northeasts throw into the wicketkeepers gloves.Bopara had just deposited James Tredwell over cow corner for six when, two balls later, the bowler held a sharp caught-and-bowled to dismiss Westley for 33 from 31 balls.Boparas second six, swept over midwicket, ruined Fabian Cowdreys figures. The spinners first three overs had gone for 13, but his last went for 14.Zaidi was in typically hard-hitting mode, bouncing down the wicket to thump Thomas over cow for six and then lofting Tredwell over long leg for a second.Bopara and Zaidi passed fifty in five overs together when Bopara got an inside-edge for four that left Thomas flat on the floor in his follow-through, and hitting the ground in frustration.It didnt not get any better for Thomas as Bopara hit the last two balls of his spell for a straight, flat six and then paddled a four to reach his personal fifty off 32 balls.Boparas fourth six, clouting Rabada over his head high into the black sightscreen behind the bowler, also brought up the hundred partnership for the fourth wicket inside 10 overs.Zaidi reached his fifty off 33 balls from a loose full-toss by Claydon which was sent towering over midwicket. The bowler received similar treatment by Bopara who hit his fifth and sixth sixes off the same over, the first straight, the second over long-on.The home crowd, already pumped up by the display of six-hitting by Bopara and Zaidi, were soon celebrating a wicket. Joe Denly departed for a first-ball duck when he was beaten all ends up to provide Paul Walter with his first senior wicket for Essex.But Kent were soon hitting sixes for fun themselves. Dan Lawrence went for two in an over, Tom Latham hooking the first over midwicket and another straight. Sam Northeast then eased Matt Quinn over cow corner as Kent reached 49 off the first five overs.But from the first ball of the next over, Northeast swished at Graham Napier and was caught behind. Since Napier had taken two Surrey wickets with his last two deliveries at The Oval on Saturday, it meant he had taken a hat-trick, albeit six days apart. More importantly he put the brakes on Kents onslaught, conceding just two runs in the over, and then had Latham caught by Ryder backward of square.Billings did not last much longer, run out by a direct hit from Ryder in the middle of a maiden over from Ryan ten Doeschate. Stevens also fell to another direct-hit run-out as Bopara fielded off his own bowling before Alex Blake was caught by ten Doeschate on his knees at long-on for a 31-ball 37, including two sixes.Rabada went second ball to a catch behind off Quinn, Cowdrey was caught-and-bowled by Walter and Tredwell became Walters third victim, caught on the fine-leg boundary by Lawrence.NMD Discount . -- Bobby Ryan helped the U.

Durant finished with 24 points and 13 rebounds, Jackson matched his career high with 23 points on 10-of-14 shooting and Lamb scored 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting, lifting the Thunder to a 94-88 win over San Antonio and snapping the Spurs 11-game winning streak.OZONE PARK, N.Y. -- As confident as trainer Tony Dutrow was that his 2-year-old Mo Town was going to run a big race in Saturdays Grade 2 Remsen Stakes at Aqueduct, he didnt necessarily know if that would be good enough to win it.The horse was coming off a two-month layoff, missed a scheduled start in the Nashua in early November due to a sore gluteal muscle, and was facing a fast and formidable foe in Takaful.But none of that mattered Saturday as Mo Town rallied past the pacesetting Takaful in midstretch and easily held No Dozing at bay to win the $300,000 Remsen Stakes by 2-1/2 lengths and give Dutrow and his new partners reason for optimism as they look ahead to the colts 3-year-old year.I feel very strongly we have not seen what this horse is capable of yet, Dutrow said in the winners circle.What we have seen so far is a talented, well-bred colt -- hes a son of Uncle Mo -- who has now won two of three starts, including a graded stakes going 1-1/8 miles around two turns. The win in the Remsen gave Mo Town 10 qualifying points toward the May 6 Kentucky Derby under a system utilized by Churchill Downs should the Derby, as usually happens, draw more than 20 entrants.Mo Town won despite having to be the one to make the first run at Takaful, who was bet to 4-5 favoritism after an impressive maiden wing going 6-1/2 furlongs at Belmont on Oct. 29. Takaful broke awkwardly, and when he recovered, he dragged jockey Jose Ortiz to the lead, opening up a 4-1/2-length advantage after running an opening quarter in 23.47 seconds.Mo Town, under John Velazquez, was fourth going into the first turn, but when neither Newman nor Win With Pride decided to go after Takaful, Velazquez felt he had to with Mo Town and moved him within a length of Takaful after a half-mile in 48.84 seconds.Nobody wants to go with him, so I had to do the dirty job, Velazquez said.Mo Town tracked Takaful from a length behind through six furlongs in 1:14.02. Mo Town drew closer approaching the quarter pole, drew on equal terms at the three-sixteenths, and moved into the lead before the eighth pole.ddddddddddddHe extended his advantage in the final furlong, which he ran in 12.71 seconds, and covered the 1-1/8 miles in 1:51.59. He returned $10.40 as the second choice.I thought in watching the race that Mo Town was very comfortable the entire race, Dutrow said. Ive always felt like he was a good horse; for him to prove this much so far, I got to feel great.Mo Town lost his debut on Travers Day at Saratoga and then won a one-mile maiden race at Belmont by seven lengths on Sept. 24. It was after that race that Dutrow and his Team D Stables sold a majority interest in Mo Town to the Coolmore connections of Susan Magnier, Derrick Smith, and Michael Tabor.Dutrow said Mo Town would winter in Payson Park in Florida, and if it was up to him, he would like to bring the horse back to New York for the Grade 3 Gotham at Aqueduct on March 4.No Dozing, coming off a fourth to Classic Empire in the Breeders Futurity, had a wide trip, breaking from post 9 under Daniel Centeno, and was simply second-best.He ran great. I wish he would have had the opportunity to save a little bit more ground, trainer Arnaud Delacour said. Nobody to blame, just circumstances. We had an outside post. Its a little bit hard, but he ran a really good race.Takaful had everybody excited after his eight-length maiden win at Belmont. Still, going from one 6-1/2-furlong race to 1-1/8 miles is a big jump, and the awkward start definitely didnt help.The break didnt help us, and he looked like he was pretty keen the first eighth after the break, but he dug in and held on for third, said trainer Kiaran McLaughlin.Following Takaful, the order of finish was Win With Pride, Youre to Blame, Tale of Silence, Tellmeafookystory, Hookup, Newman, and Lead Astray.
