India 455 and 98 for 3 (Kohli 56*, Rahane 22*) lead England 255 (Stokes 70, Bairstow 53, Root 53, Ashwin 5-67) by 298 runs Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsThree days into Visakhapatnams maiden Test match, the prospects of England emerging from this contest with anything less than a hefty defeat remain no less bleak than they had appeared at the height of their top-order implosion on the second afternoon.However, this was a day on which their hopes of a fightback in the remaining three fixtures were exponentially boosted, thanks to a feisty series of performances with bat and ball that required Indias champion bowler and batsman, R Ashwin and Virat Kohli, to summon their very best efforts in order maintain their sides dominance.The tone for Englands day was set by a spirited stand of 110 between their overnight pair of Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow, but their fate was eventually sealed by the wiles of Ashwin, who claimed his 22nd five-wicket haul but first against England, to secure India a priceless first-innings lead of 200.Then, after India had decided not to enforce the follow-on, Kohli reached the close on 56 not out, another imperious display to follow on from his first-innings 167, and one in which he was obliged to overcome an exemplary display of incision and experience from Englands senior bowlers, Stuart Broad and James Anderson, whose combined figures to date are 3 for 22 in 14 overs.Indias overall lead by stumps was an imposing 298, and on a surface now offering sharp turn to the spinners and clear signs of uneven bounce, mere survival will be a challenge beyond anything that England have yet encountered on this trip. Nevertheless, given the na?ve hours batting that had condemned them on the second afternoon, this was a response from which is no platitude to admit that they will take the positives.The general assumption before the start of play was that England would continue to stumble against Indias spin-led attack, and Bairstows alarming arrival on the field of play merely sharpened those thoughts. Jogging out to the middle to resume his innings on 12 not out, Bairstow lost his footing as he crossed the boundary line and had to hobble back to the dressing-room for treatment after rolling his ankle.He showed no ill-effects however, turning quickly for two runs in Umesh Yadavs first over of the day to open his account for the day, and from that moment on, Englands sixth-wicket pairing continued in the same prolific vein that they have displayed all year. Between them, they have now made 772 runs in seven stands in 2016, the most by any batting pair.India stuck doggedly to their guns throughout a fallow first hour - arguably too doggedly, with Ashwin initially stymied in a nine-over spell that yielded an early wasted review for lbw and one half-chance for a stumping off Stokes. However, there was little of the threat and penetration that he had displayed on the second evening.That, in part, was down to the quality of Englands batting. With Bairstow working the singles while Stokes interspersed his hugely improved defensive technique with an assassins eye for anything remotely loose, the pair had come within ten minutes of batting clean through the morning session when Umesh produced a beauty, a fast inswinging yorker that crashed into Bairstows stumps via the base of his pad.It was a body blow to Englands hopes of approaching parity but, when Kohli opted to take the second new ball soon after the interval, Stokes and Adil Rashid were ready to take full advantage with an enterprising counterattack.The hardness of the new ball suited Stokes methods just fine, as he clipped Mohammad Shamis second ball off the pads through square leg, before rifling a ferocious pull through midwicket. At the other end, Rashid snaffled three fours in a single over from Umesh, the best of them a scorching cover drive that left Kohli at slip spitting with rage.Sure enough, his seamers were soon banished and Kohli instead threw the ball back to his senior spinners, who responded with the days most vital breakthrough. Propping forward to the extra bounce of Ashwin, Stokes was given out lbw by umpire Kumar Dharmasena for 70, even though replays implied that he had grazed an inside edge. No matter - the ball had also deflected into the hands of silly point, so the verdict was correct even if the mode of dismissal was moot.Zafar Ansari did his best to support Rashid, who was accumulating fluently at the other end, but having flicked a well-timed four through midwicket off Ashwin, he was pinned on the back leg as he played round a full ball from Ravi Jadeja, and burned up Englands last review with one of the more futile attempts at a reprieve since the last days of Shane Watson.Broad might have wished he hadnt - his subsequent lbw against Ashwin looked distinctly leg-sided but England had no more recourse to the third umpire. One ball later, however, Anderson had no such doubts as he was nailed plumb in front of middle on the back foot.Englands tail had once again been docked cheaply - the last four wickets had fallen for 30 in 12.2 overs. But, if there had been any suspicion that England were about to surrender the contest and conserve their energy for next weeks third Test in Mohali, then Broad confounded that by bounding in with the new ball in spite of the fact that he was still awaiting the results of a scan on his injured right foot. At the close of play, it was confirmed that he had strained a tendon and, though he will continue to be monitored for the rest of the match, he will be fit to continue.After back-to-back maidens before tea, Broad resumed with the sort of rhythm and bounce through his action that brought images of Trent Bridge 2015 and Johannesburg 2016 swimming into the minds eye.He grabbed two wickets in 25 balls before conceding a single run - both of them overturned on review after initially being given not out by Rod Tucker. Murali Vijay inside-edged a nipbacker onto his thigh, for Joe Root to snaffle with a dive in the slips, before KL Rahul feathered the thinnest of tickles through to the keeper. It was so thin, in fact, that no-one behind the bat was sure thered been an edge, but Broad was convinced, and so too, crucially, was Haseeb Hameed at short leg. His vigorous insistence was enough to persuade Alastair Cook to take a look - something for Kohli and India to consider as they come to terms with the nuances of DRS usage.So out came Kohli with India in a bit of bother at 16 for 2. But perhaps the single most telling measure of his class was his response to Broad with his tail up. Where none of his team-mates had been able to get the ball off the square in his spell, Kohli helped himself to six runs from the first five balls he faced, a flick off the pads for two and a filleted four through the covers.After six overs of Broad, the return of Anderson offered a subtly different challenge, and Kohlis fellow first-innings centurion, Cheteshwar Pujara, was not equal to it on this occasion. After being pushed back onto his stumps by a sharp bouncer, Anderson followed up with an offcutter to open his gate, before completing his three-card trick with a pummelling nipbacker that burst into the top of Pujaras off stumpAjinkya Rahane, on 2, was lucky to survive an edge off Rashid that deflected to safety off Bairstows knee, when Stokes would have been lurking at slip to pounce. But he endured to the close, on 22 not out, a distant second fiddle to the majestic Kohli, who brought up his second half-century of the match from 63 balls. He was playing on a different surface from the rest of the players on display. England, for all their efforts, are unlikely to be allowed to share his private net. Will Barton Nuggets Jersey .

Carmelo Anthony Jersey . -- Yogi Ferrell orchestrates pretty much everything in Indianas offence. DENVER -- Bud Black really has no radical or revolutionary ideas about how to reliably pitch in the thin air at Coors Field.Just an age-old concept.You know what works here? Good pitching and making pitches and getting outs, Black said Monday after being introduced as the manager of the Colorado Rockies. Thats what we have to do. I dont think we have to change anybody. Weve got to make guys better. And these guys are pretty good to start with.Black signed a three-year deal to take over for Walt Weiss, who stepped down last month when his contract expired after four years in charge of the Rockies. They finished 75-87 last season, their best record since 2010.The 59-year-old Black is revered for his pitching acumen. Understandably, he views the game through a pitchers eyes and knows this park is filled with difficulties for a staff.Its just a different game here than other spots, Black said. But its still baseball. ... Im not planning anything unconventional. I like the conventional. I like good, solid starting pitching, a good, solid relief core. That works anywhere.Black knows this park well after serving as manager of NL West rival San Diego for 8 + seasons before being fired in June 2015. He compiled a 649-713 record for the Padres and was voted NL Manager of the Year in 2010.With the Rockies, Black inherits a potent offense that includes a batting champion in DJ LeMahieu, sluggers Nolan Arenado and Carlos Gonzalez and rising star Trevor Story.Not that hes going to offer them much advice. Instead, hell stick with what he knows best -- pitching.After a major league career that spanned 15 seasons on the mound, Black became a respected pitching coach for the Los Angeles Angels. He brings a wealth of experience to a team thats long struggled to get outs in Denver, which is a mile above sea level.Colorado as a team had a 4.91 ERA last season, tied with Cincinnati for 13th out of 15 National League teams. Arizona (5.09) was the only club that was worse.But the Rockies feature a young and talented rotation led by Jon Gray.The first order of business will be shoring up a bullpen that blew 28 savees last season.dddddddddddd.Were aware of where were at and where we need to get to, said Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich, who also stressed the importance of adding a first baseman. Buds experience and his expertise absolutely adds into that, and lends to us to being better than we have been recently on the bump.Over the years, Colorados kept a close watch on the development of teams such as Kansas City, Cleveland, Houston and St. Louis. Good pitching, clutch hitting, lights-out bullpen -- theyre trying to emulate that sort of blueprint.We try to be in tune with them as much as possible, Bridich said. Theres a difference between talented and good. We have talent. The next step is to become a good team -- a good and consistent team.Bridich interviewed quite a few internal and external candidates before tabbing Black as the seventh manager in franchise history. He got a thumbs-up from owner Dick Monfort, who made a list of eight or nine qualities he wanted to see his next manager embody.I went down that list and checked a lot of them off (with Black), Monfort said. Ive always watched him manage at San Diego. He seems to be a tough guy. He understands the game, obviously has a lot of experience. I think that fits well.On a recent visit to town, Black had a meeting with the Rockies staff in a stadium suite. Hanging on the wall was a picture of Colorado players celebrating with former Rockies outfielder Matt Holliday after he scored the winning run during a 2007 play-in game to beat Black and his Padres. The Rockies rode that wave of momentum all the way to their only World Series appearance.But there was a little bit of controversy about whether Holliday actually touched home plate on his winning slide in the 13th inning. Black weighed in with his opinion.To this day, I dont think hes touched it, joked Black, who posed for pictures Monday right next to home plate. That was a good group. ... Were going to do everything to get back to where this team was in 2007. ' ' '
