India Red 161 & 344 for 3 (Abhinav 162*, Chatterjee 114) lead India Green 151 (Tiwary 50, Nathu 6-53) by 354 runs ScorecardAfter playing awkwardly with the pink ball on day one, India Red, emboldened by centuries from Abhinav Mukund and Sudip Chatterjee, made purposeful strides in their second dig, and extended a 10-run first-innings lead to 354 runs by close of play. Thanks to Nathu Singhs six-for, India Red needed only a little more than 10 overs to bowl out India Green in the afternoon, before going to stumps on 344 for 3. The centerpiece of their second innings was the 240-run alliance between Abhinav and Chatterjee. With Abhinav still at the crease, unbeaten on 162, and with recognised batsmen to follow, India Greens bowlers and fielders might have to work overtime. In any event, the sides misery was to a certain extent self-inflicted with some slipshod fielding - they dropped four catches - and profligate bowling.The narrative on day two was nothing like the first day: 379 runs were scored for the loss of six wickets, as opposed to 277 for 17 on Tuesday; bowlers 1- batsmen 1. Two factors, though, remained constant. First, the pink ball itself has not had a disproportionately heavy bearing on either outcome. The second factor was Abhinav.His effort was remarkable as much for its longevity - he batted for more than five hours - as its unhurried rhythm. There was no dulling of tempo, however, as his strike-rate constantly remained upwards of 75. While Abhinav might want to offer a quiet thank you to India Green captain Suresh Raina, who dropped him on 66 and 92, the reprieves seemed little more than an incentive for his positive, risk-free approach.If Abhinavs 22nd first-class hundred was the well-rehearsed jig of an accomplished dancer, Chatterjees was a laboured effort enhanced by improvisations. After having made only 5 in the first innings, Chatterjee took 18 balls to score his first run, but the longer he stayed the more irritated India Greens bowlers became. By the time he scored his sixth first-class hundred, Chatterjees strike-rate had crossed 60. Chatterjees first false stroke in a long period - an ill-timed sweep - eventually saw him trapped lbw to Shreyas Gopal, but Abhinav, and later Gurkeerat Singh, ensured the show went on.India Red entered the afternoon needing three wickets to bowl out their opponents, and despite Saurabh Tiwarys fifty and a rain interruption, Nathu made light work of the tail. When the second session began, it was, at least in parts, a re-run of the first afternoons play: Abhinav alternated between leaving and driving the ball with equal assurance, Ashok Dinda leap-charged his way to banging the ball on the shorter side of full length, and Sandeep Sharma did the un-Dinda thing by pitching the ball up to bring swing into play. The most conspicuous change from the first innings was the approach of the India Red batsmen. Sample this: Dinda went for Srikar Bharats throat, like on Tuesday, and Bharat responded with a pull - this time he was on top of the ball rather than the other way around - in front of square for six.Pink ball or not, Abhinav was not going to deviate from a formula fare. He left anything on a length around the off stump, especially with the new ball, while driving, punching and upper-cutting - his release shot in the first innings - errant deliveries. He made matters worse by pinching sharp singles to further throw India Green off gear. The most abiding visual of Chatterjees innings was his well stretched-out forward defence, but sneakily he worked his way towards a bigger score. As he grew in confidence, the cuts and the drives became a more regular occurrence.India Greens fielding, particularly that of Ankit Rajpoot, was a throwback to the Indian fast bowler of the 1990s. While he offered a cheeky boot to halt cover drives, he was let balls slip through, or reacted late to a catch - one such somnolent attempt let Chatterjee off the hook when he was on 74.Raina himself appeared lost, and was intermittently off the field, leaving Parthiv Patel in charge. The wickets of Chatterjee and Yuvraj Singh late in the day offered India Green a sudden shot of enthusiasm, which they will need to build on over the next two days. Nike Vapormax Kengät .

Our experts weigh in on four of the biggest questions in NASCAR. This week, we hit Joe Gibbs Racing, solutions for Indy and the mystery surrounding the 88 car:Turn 1: How could Joe Gibbs Racing get this far ahead in what is supposed to be the most competitive era of NASCAR?Ricky Craven, ESPN NASCAR analyst: They have the strongest rotation in NASCAR. You have two former champs in Matt Kenseth and Kyle Busch, while Denny Hamlin and Carl Edwards have come within a whisker of a title. Combine that with a concentrated effort that Toyota created to push quality over quantity, and Joe Gibbs has the potential to lead this sport for the next five years.Ryan McGee, ESPN.com: Well, having a crazy-talented group of drivers helps, especially the one in the 18 car [Busch]. But what were seeing is also the payoff for a decade of work by Toyota. All along theyve told us they were working on a long-term vision and process, and here they are. All this being said, these things run in cycles; the edge can be lost in a hurry, especially these days. It was only a little over a year ago when we asking what was wrong at JGR.John Oreovicz, ESPN.com: The credit goes to Toyota for creating a five-car super team and the most powerful engine in NASCAR. At Indianapolis, a leading Chevrolet driver said he believes the Toyotas have a 15-horsepower advantage right now, and when coupled with a driver lineup that doesnt really have any weaknesses and more young talent in the pipeline, the Gibbs team is in a dominant position.Bob Pockrass, ESPN.com: Toyota. The car manufacturer appears to put more money into NASCAR per team, especially considering its engine development program. Money buys speed, and while it appears Toyota didnt get its moneys worth in 2014 and for the early portion of 2015, it has gotten its moneys worth since then.Turn 2: Is it time to rethink the annual Sprint Cup race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway? If so, what would you suggest?McGee: You cant drop it. Its still a marquee event for teams when it comes to sponsor activation, and its still a crown jewel in the eyes of the competitors. I say shorten it. Move it back to Saturday, run a pair of full-field shorter races and call it an homage to the Indiana short-track tradition. Make it feel way different than the Indy 500.Oreovicz: Id move it to the fall and make it a Chase race -- ideally a cutoff race between rounds. That would at least inject some urgency into the event and make it more worth watching or attending. To make it a more entertaining car race, Id run the event on the IMS road course.Pockrass: Anyone who isnt worried about the Brickyard attendance needs a shovel to get their head out of the sand. That being said, if Tony George can come back as the chairman of the race track, then anything is possible. Continuing to explore tire/aero combinations should remain a priority for Indy. Also making it a Chase race might work -- as long as the Colts arent home that day.Craven: This race is important to the competitors, the owners and even the identity of NASCAR. While I will agree that the racing at IMS for these cars is poor, its still identified as a member of the big four, along with a Coke 600, Southern 500 and, of course, the Daytona 500. With the TV package that exists, I feel certain the track still makes money for the event. While the seats will never be as full as they are in May (not even close), I cant imagine the race disappears from the schedule.Turn 3: Is there any good reason why the Xfinity and Truck series shouldnt run Lucas Oil Raceway (fondly known as IIRP) at Indy?Oreovicz: Im among those who would like to see the Trucks and Xfinity cars back at IRP, whether in replacement or in addition to the Xfinity race at IMS.dddddddddddd The locals loved the Xfinity/Truck event at Indys other track, making it one of the summers toughest tickets. Competitors loved it too and one great way NASCAR could reconnect with fans it has lost would be to allow itself to go down market to grassroots venues like LOR.Craven: Perhaps the Xfinity race (with its TV revenue) helps justify the entire NASCAR weekend. Would IRP produce a more entertaining race? Hell yes! And for all three divisions. I can think of another half-dozen short tracks I would like to see us compete at. It still amazes me that we have only one short-track race in the 10-race Chase.McGee: Good reason? No. They let the sponsors force their hand and it sucked a lot of the fun out of the week. They need to restore the entire USAC/Trucks/Xfinity tripleheader at IRP. Return some of that citywide festival-of-speed feel from the original Brickyard weekends and run Eldora the week before or after. Own the summer! But they wont do any of that. Big swings at the schedule dont seem to be their thing. Unless you count later start times as a big swing -- but thats a whole other discussion, isnt it?Pockrass: Nope. Its understandable that IMS wanted an Xfinity race to try to boost the weekend ticket. The Kid Rock concert that followed Saturday appeared to have more fans, so maybe Xfinity can work just as a support event for the concert. But NASCAR should take trucks and Xfinity to IRP on the Indy 500 pole weekend in May. The racing was too good at IRP for NASCAR not to go there, and NASCAR needs to find a way to make it work.Turn 4: If Dale Earnhardt Jr. cant go at Watkins Glen, who should get in the No. 88 car?Craven: Jeff Gordon should be the driver of the 88 until Junior is prepared to return. Jeffs knowledge of the race car is priceless, and he can contribute to the organization perhaps more than any driver available. Jeff is also the right driver in terms of not putting too much pressure on Dale Jr. to return too quickly. Its the equivalent of having Joe Montana or Tom Brady as your sub.McGee:?Yep. The guy they already have in there is pretty good.Oreovicz: Getting back into the rhythm of road racing would be a tougher task for Gordon, but hes still the logical choice if hes willing to do it. It would be interesting to see one of the Chevrolet-affiliated IndyCar drivers get a chance, but their contracts with Team Penske and Chip Ganassi Racing would probably prevent the cream of the crop from running for a competing NASCAR team like Hendrick. Sam Hornish Jr. is a capable road racer and he obviously did a great job filling in for the JGR Xfinity team earlier this year, winning at Iowa.Pockrass:?Gordon would be fine if he wants to risk his back for the sake of making his 800th start. If not, former Cup rookie of the year Andy Lally knows how to wheel it on a road course. But with IndyCar coming there four weeks later, it would be cool to see an IndyCar driver in that ride. James Hinchcliffe, being from Canada, would be a neat choice for a race that attracts many from Canada. But since hes a Honda guy, it might not be able to happen. Any of the Penske stable of Chevy IndyCar drivers -- Juan Pablo Montoya, Will Power, Simon Pagenaud, Helio Castroneves?or Josef Newgarden -- would be exciting to watch. ' ' '
