A sublime 243-ball 130 from Alastair Cook - his 30th Test ton - helped England claim a moral victory by drawing the first Test against India in Rajkot on Sunday.Cook managed just 21 in the first innings but he made amends in the second innings as England looked to stretch their 49-run lead quickly. The left-hander joined forces with debutant, Haseeb Hameed, who had outpaced him on the fourth day.The duo added a 180-run opening stand that saw the visitors stretch their lead to 229 before Hameed finally departed after amassing a classy 82 from 177 balls, which is the highest score for an England teenager. The partnership is the second-most by any opening pair in their teams second innings of a Test in India.Indias spinners and R Ashwin in particular stifled Englands attacking intentions by extracting extra turn from an aging Rajkot surface. Ashwin conceded just 31 runs in 13.3 overs that he bowled. He succeeded in prolonging Englands decision to declare as they pushed to stretch their lead to the 300-run mark.Joe Root was the second England batsman to fall, before Ashwin claimed Cook in the 74th over. England, at that stage, had stretched the lead to 309. Cook had hit 13 fours in his ton, which is his fifth Test hundred in India, the most by a visiting batsman. He went past Everton Weekes, Clive Lloyd and Hashim Amla who made four centuries each in the country. He also bettered Jacques Kallis eight centuries to register most hundreds by a visiting batsman in Asia. In the process he also became the fourth overseas player to score 1000 runs in India.Indias batsmen had 49 overs on the final day to negotiate and they struggled from the onset after losing opener Gautam Gambhir for a duck in the second over. First-innings centurions, Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara, added 47 runs for the second wicket but they too failed to finish the job. India lost the duo six-overs apart and Ajinkya Rahane soon after. It took a 47-run stand between Ashwin and Virat Kohli to bail their side out of trouble. Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja eventually negotiated the final ten overs that completed the draw.Really tough five days, good toss to win. In India if you score 530, youre always in the game. Good cricket wicket, Cook said. Relentless with the ball, we didnt let India score too quickly. To keep them to 480, we did well. The way Has (Hameed) played was brilliant. Wanted to make them score something they couldnt get. Flat for the first three days, and then turned more and more. He (Hameed) looked the real deal in the first innings, we certainly found a batsman there, he certainly looks a good un. Adil stepped up another level.Andy Isabella Jersey .

Last years loss here cost the Patriots home-field advantage and a potential trip to the Super Bowl, but this years Broncos team isnt quite the same as last years. Denvers remaining three games are against the only AFC teams with better records. The Broncos D will give all that it has but will come up just a little short.Score: New England 20, Denver 19Oakland Raiders at San Diego ChargersI expect an old-fashioned AFL shootout in this one, in a stadium that will be full of Raiders fans. San Diego played Oakland close the first time, and even though Melvin Gordon is out, I believe the Chargers will get up for this one. San Diegos?Antonio Gates is two TDs behind Tony Gonzalez for the all-time TD record for tight ends, and time is running out to get that. Look for that connection to make some noise. San Diego wearing the powder blues? Rivers gets the ball last and gets it done.Score: San Diego 28, Oakland 27Tennessee Titans at Kansas City ChiefsIts going to be frigid Sunday in Kansas City, which should point to the running game of Tennessee having success, but I dont know how many cold games Marcus Mariota has played in.dddddddddddd I think that could work against him a little here. The Chiefs dont score a lot, but their defense is strong, even with Derrick Johnson lost for the season. Kansas City will be motivated by a shot to still be the top seed in the AFC. Its time for the Chiefs?to make Harry Houdini inactive for this one and just claim a normal win. The front seven will be the difference here.Score: Kansas City 22, Tennessee 14Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston TexansThe Texans seem to be a different team at home, as they are 5-1 at Reliant Stadium (and 4-0 in the AFC South). Brock Osweiler has been far from impressive, but this defense is coming on with Jadeveon Clowney & Co., and I still think theyre going to win this division. The Jaguars simply cant get out of their own way, and another Blake Bortles turnover seems destined to doom them here.Score: Houston 24, Jacksonville 13Detroit Lions at New York GiantsMatthew Staffords finger is definitely a concern, but he has led the Lions to fourth-quarter comeback wins in eight of their nine victories, so why cant he come back from a finger issue? The story of this game to me is that both defenses are quietly playing better than expected. Neither team can really run the ball, so expect this to be a close, low-scoring game. I like Detroit by a field goal.Score: Detroit 23, New York Giants 20Cheap Jerseys ect this to be a close, low-scoring gameys[/url] Wholesale Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
