Moeen Ali registered his second ton of the Test series against India by thumping the hosts for an unbeaten 222-ball 120 on the first day of the fifth and final Test that began in Chennai on Friday.Englands captain, Alastair Cook won the toss and opted to bat first on a surface that would favor batting early on. Cook and his partner Keaton Jennings failed to capitalize and fell cheaply in the first 13 overs. Joe Root and Ali stepped to the fore and attempted to redress the early setbacks.Ali, in particular, had a tentative start as Indias spinners tested his defence and regularly beat his outside edge. India had their opportunity to dismiss the left-hander early on, but KL Rahul dropped him at midwicket.By the lunch interval, Ali found his fluency, and made India pay with a 146-run partnership with Root. Root was the aggressor and thumped ten fours in his 144-ball 88, which provided the momentum to the innings. Roots departure in the 55th over didnt deter Ali as he joined forces with Jonny Biarstow for an 86-run stand for the fourth wicket.When Bairstow fell in the 81st over, Ali had moved to his hundred - his fifth in Tests. The left hander went from 95 to 99 by skipping down the track and hitting Amit Mishra inside-out, against the turn, through the covers, and reached the landmark next ball with a nudged single into the off side.India looked for answers and took the new ball, but Ali continued playing his shots, clobbering Ishant Sharma for successive fours on the up. By stumps, Ali had hit 12 fours and had guided England to 284 for 4.Ali has scored four test tons this year. Before his two hundreds in this series, he had made centuries against Sri Lanka in Chester-le-Street and against Pakistan at The Oval. He is the sixth England batsman to get two hundreds in a Test series in India. Alastair Cook, Ken Barrington, Colin Cowdrey, Mike Gatting and Andrew Strauss did it before him.

Corey Crawford Jersey . -- Devin Hester is done returning kicks in Chicago. CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Three plays into the fourth quarter last Saturday, Illinois was within a touchdown and a two-point conversion of North Carolina.Over the next 14-plus minutes, first-year coach Lovie Smith learned a lot about his Illini and how far they have to go.Illinois (1-1) fell apart over that final quarter, and ended up with a 48-23 loss in a game that was within reach even after a night of inconsistent play.Weve made strides, we started fast, Smith said, referring to the 7-0 lead Illinois quickly opened on the Tar Heels. We as a football team have to be able to finish a football game.On Saturday, Illinois will face a team that has shown it can finish strong, particularly in its opening upset at Northwestern. Western Michigan (2-0) knocked off the Wildcats 22-21 , and comes to Champaign as a 3-point favorite.The Broncos fourth quarter at Northwestern was a how-to guide in one way to come from behind and close out a win.The Broncos trailed 21-16 when they got the ball with just over 12 minutes to play. They put together a 12-play drive that ate up 6:35 and 75 yards and ended with a touchdown and a one-point lead.Then Western Michigan forced a fumble at its own 1-yard line to take the ball back before grinding down the clock.Illinois finish against North Carolina was a lesson in how not to come back.After pulling to within 31-23 on a touchdown pass from Wes Lunt to Malik Turner, Illinois fumbled twice (recovering both), committed fouur penalties (two were declined) and gave up 146 yards that included a crushing 62-yard touchdown run by Elijah Hood.ddddddddddddhose fumbles and the four others on the night by Illinois were concerning, Smith said.But, he said the 25-point loss offered a chance to teach his team some things that the previous weeks 52-3 win over Murray State did not.Theres just no way to get some points across when you blow somebody out, simple as that, he said. From this game there were so many things for players to see, for us to see, how important every play is. And you can only get that through having a tough loss like this.Lunt blamed himself for much of what went wrong late in the North Carolina game. He had a rough night from start to finish, but was 3-10 after the fourth-quarter touchdown pass. Lunt also fumbled the ball on a sack.You know, it was an eight-point game in the fourth quarter. A play here and a play there could have tied it up, said Lunt, a senior.But Smith emphasized that, however close Illinois might have been, the fourth quarter and the loss it guaranteed were the bottom line.We should have a bad, terrible feeling deep down inside until we play the next game, he said.---Follow David Mercer on Twitter: (at)davidmercerAP---Online:Associated Press college football coverage: http://www.collegefootball.ap.org/ ' ' '
