India 63 for 0 trail England 537 (Stokes 128, Root 124, Stokes 117) by 474 runsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsOn the eve of the Test the Indian government discontinued the use of currency notes of denomination of INR 500 and above. The memo was clearly not sent to the England cricket team, who raised the first 500 against India in India since, well, they did it themselves four years ago in Kolkata. After a perfect first day of the series, England continued to dominate the sloppy hosts who added two drops, a catch missed because of the captains enthusiasm, and various instances of misfields and lazy legs allowing extra runs. The India openers passed the first stage of what is going to be a test of character by batting out 23 overs without drama even though the odd ball misbehaved.While the batsmen made Englands bowlers work hard, making the most of Indias largesse in the field was Ben Stokes, who became the third centurion of the innings to go with Joe Root and Moeen Ali, who began the day on 99. Stokes banished the memories of his three ducks in three innings against India with an all-out assault in the first session, which brought him 65 off 95 and yielded England 139 runs for the loss of two wickets. Once they began to lose wickets in the second session, England shelved the attacking intent and began to bat time: on these modern Indian pitches you want to score all your runs in the first innings, and even if they come slowly they make sure the opposition bats on a pitch with more wear and tear.At any rate, a few balls had begun to turn sharply, uneven bounce made more appearances, and some of the reverse swing was stark. At one point, R Ashwin, bowling from around the wicket, got one to turn and bounce sharply past Stokes bat. Stokes just smiled. The smile of a man who knew his side already had 377 for 5 on the board. They ended up with 537.Put under such intense pressure for the first time under Virat Kohli, Indias fielding went to pieces. Every time the ball went to Gautam Gambhir, the batsmen fancied the extra run. Ashwin and Amit Mishra are not the fastest men either; at one point Mishra conceded three singles in three overs when fielding pretty tight at mid-on. Shockingly, though, Wriddhiman Saha, reputed to be a good technical wicketkeeper who has also rescued India with the bat on at least three occasions in the last four completed Tests, was shown up as he dropped Stokes twice.Keeping wicket for the first time with a side scoring 300 in India, Sahas feet didnt go to his left on both occasions. He just dived to his left, shelling a difficult first one and a regulation one after that. Both were on the cut off the bowling of Umesh Yadav - making that four drops out of five off his bowling - with Stokes on 60 and 61. Whether it was some effect of the 14th delivery of the day, with the new ball, which reared from just short of a length and wobbled late to nearly hit him in the face, only Saha will be able to tell.By the time that ball misbehaved, Moeen had taken the single he needed to reach his fourth Test hundred, widely acknowledged as his most mature batting effort. Yadav, unlucky as he was, also opened the floodgates with one on the pads from his third ball of the morning. Moeen was the first one to take the attack to India, before he left alone a straight delivery from Mohammed Shami to be bowled on 117.That didnt slow England down. When you are 300-plus in credit, when you have a dodgy fielding side at your disposal, when you want to drive home that advantage, look no further than Stokes. He ripped every bad ball apart, attacked Ashwin and Mishra, took 11 runs off Ravindra Jadejas first over of the day, which he bowled belatedly, and sent India a session closer to needing to dig in for the best part of three days to save this Test.Questions will be asked of Indias bowlers and Kohlis captaincy - Mishra, underbowled on the first day, was persisted for eight overs ahead of Jadeja - but this was also the time to enjoy the uncomplicated aggression of Stokes and Jonny Bairstow. The England wicketkeeper, the highest run-getter this year, landed demoralising blows on the psyche of Mishra: first, he lofted him over mid-off, and then, the moment Mishra bowled the wrongun, he sent a message by not just picking it but also biffing it over long-on for another six. That took him to 24 off 32, and his side to 393 for 5 at more than 3.5 an over.Stokes had by now begun to toy around with spin: slogging Ashwin, punching him the moment he would land short, welcoming Jadeja with a loft over mid-off first ball. Shami returned to get Bairstow for 46 minutes before lunch, and Jadeja got the wickets of Chris Woakes and Adil Rashid. Stokes continued to enjoy good fortune: mishits kept falling between fielders; when he offered a catch that long-on could have taken, Kohli ruined it by charging back from close-in and putting the fielder off; when Stokes was finally caught, the fielder stepped on the boundary rope.Once Stokes reached his century, though, it seemed he and Zafar Ansari were instructed during the mid-afternoon drinks break to bat as long as they could to let the pitch wear and to let Indian bodies grow wearier. Accordingly they added 52 in 22.5 overs. Stokes fell minutes before the scheduled tea, which was delayed as Ansari and Stuart Broad frustrated India for another half hour.Weary they might have been, but M Vijay and Gambhir displayed alert minds and compact defence during a session in which England could give it their all. Five bowlers were tried, with Stokes spending some time off the field with cramps, but bar a few deliveries not much troubled the opening pair. That they were still 275 from saving the follow-on was a sign of the challenge for them. Artis Gilmore Jersey .

Spurs Jerseys China . -- On the field, it was business as usual for Jameis Winston and No. EUGENE, Ore. -- Coach Mark Helfrich certainly wasnt concerned about Charles Nelsons missteps in Oregons opener, joking that hed bet his mortgage on the receiver and special teams standout.Nelson had 288 all-purpose yards for the No. 24 Ducks in the season opener as he transitions back from the defense to the offense. He chalked up a pair of fumbles to first-game jitters.For me, and for everybody in here, the coaches just talk about playing the next play, thats what I try to do: Just brush it off and play the next play, he said.Nelson certainly has plenty more plays to focus on this season, starting Saturday night when Oregon (1-0) hosts Virginia (0-1).Of his overall yards in the 53-28 victory over UC Davis last weekend, 251 came on returns. Nelson averaged 38.3 yards on kickoff returns and 24.5 yards on punt returns.His 153 total yards on kickoff returns pushed him past Kenjon Barner into fifth on Oregons career list with 1,447.Nelson also successfully rushed for two of Oregons four two-point conversion attempts after touchdowns against the Aggies.The rest of the Ducks agreed that the bookended fumbles on his first and final return attempts were uncharacteristic.I would bet my mortgage and all I have on Charles every time out, Helfrich said. Thats a guy that makes a million plays for us. He didnt make one and then he made several and then he tried to maybe make more out of what was there and turned it over.Quarterback Dakota Prukop weighed in: It was surprising because thats not something you expect out of Charles. If its going to happen, let it happen in the first game. I dont foresee that being an issue at all the rest of the season.Nelson has alwayss been a versatile and intriguing player.dddddddddddd As a freshman from Daytona Beach, Florida, he turned heads in his first college game with a 50-yard punt return for a touchdown against North Dakota in 2014. He developed as the season progressed, and had seven catches for 104 yards in the Pac-12 championship game against Arizona. Oregon went on to play in the first College Football Playoff title game that season.Last season he started at receiver, but made his debut at safety in a 45-38 double-overtime loss to Washington State on Oct. 10. He finished with a team-high 12 tackles against the Cougars while also playing at receiver and on special teams. Injuries necessitated the move.He moved back to wide receiver this year, explaining that he was happy to be able to focus on only one job.It was a mutual decision between the coaches and I, he said at the time. I told them I wanted to play receiver but if the time comes, I could always go back over there.In the opener, he fumbled his first punt return of the game to give UC Davis the ball on the Oregon 33. The Aggies went on to score. His second fumble came on a kickoff return in the third quarter. It, too, gave the Aggies the ball.I had the first-game jitters. I just took my eye off the ball for a second and fumbled it, he said. Second time, I just tried to make extra yards. I should have run out of bounds. I had the ball in the wrong hand, and the other guy made a great play. Ill be looking to correct that next week.For emphasis he added: Im already looking forward to that. ' ' '
