India Blue 362 for 3 (Pujara 111*, Gambhir 94, Agarwal 57, Karthik 55*, Binny 1-54) v India RedScorecard and ball-by-ball details After India Blue opted to bat first on a dry and cracked Greater Noida surface, Cheteshwar Pujaras fluent unbeaten 111 and Gautam Gambhirs well-compiled 94 studded a dominant batting display over an India Red attack that lacked penetration and consistency.Gambhir, who registered his fourth consecutive fifty-plus score of the tournament, also brought up his fourth consecutive century opening stand with Mayank Agarwal, who scored 57 in a knock laced with fluent cover drives. Pujara, coming off an innings of 166 against India Green, built on that base, scoring at a strike rate of 67.68 against a tiring and deflated bowling attack.India Blue made hay after the sun went down, plundering 151 runs in the third session for the sole loss of Rohit Sharma. Pujara and Dinesh Karthik made the bulk of those runs in an unbroken fourth-wicket stand of 120 off 23.3 overs, which thoroughly entertained the sizeable crowd and took India Blue to an imposing 362 for 3 by stumps.If winning the toss was a slice of luck for India Blue, their openers benefited from a few more fortunate moments during their 144-run stand. Left-arm wristspinner Kuldeep Yadav, introduced in the 15th over, produced a chance with his first ball when Gambhir defended a good-length delivery to silly point, who couldnt hold on to a low catch. A little later, Kuldeep beat a charging Agarwal but wicketkeeper Ankush Bains failed to collect the ball cleanly to complete the stumping.It was ultimately Stuart Binny who broke the partnership, shortly after tea, just when the batsmen looked set to bed in for the second session. Bowling cross-seam, Binny got the first ball of his spell to stop on Agarwal from a good length. Agarwal went through with his drive, playing well in front of his body, managing only to chip the ball to short extra-cover.But India Reds respite was brief, as Pujara strode in and ensured continuity in the batting sides dominance and the bowling sides largely fruitless toil. He took nine balls to get off the mark, but when it happened it was worth the wait. Skipping to the pitch of a Kuldeep delivery, he drove it sweetly down the ground for four, to the right of a diving wide mid-off.That was the start of an assured, chanceless knock marked by steady accumulation, solid defence and some dazzling strokes too. The loss of Gambhir and Rohit Sharma at the other end did not in the least deter his determined, inexorable progress.Pujara showed a penchant for bringing up milestones with boundaries. A cover drive off Mishra brought up his 10,000th run in first-class cricket. A pull through midwicket, off Mishra once again, gave him his fifty. And an expansive extra-cover drive off Stuart Binny took him to his 33rd first-class century as the day drew to a close. In between, he played a number of gorgeous cuts, pulls and back-foot punches, simply because he could.That he could was down not just to his form and ability, but also to the inability of India Reds bowlers to consistently ask questions of the batsmens technique. Opening bowlers Pradeep Sangwan and Nathu Singh bowled short of a length and could not generate much swing or seam movement in unhelpful conditions. Mishra and Kuldeep extracted sharp turn and gave the batsmen a few awkward moments, but repeatedly released the pressure with loose balls.Mishra, in particular, struggled to achieve much control, frequently losing his line and length. Half-trackers, full tosses and wide deliveries peppered his spells.While remaining wayward in the third session, Mishra managed to slip in a few good deliveries. Shortly after the dinner break, he beat Pujaras outside edge twice with flighted, dipping legbreaks, and induced a skied outside-edge off a Rohit swipe, only for the ball to fall outside the reach of the cover fielder running back.In Mishras next over, Rohit attempted another wild swipe across the line, off a good-length legbreak, and this time the mis-hit went straight up and was comfortably pouched by Shikhar Dhawan at cover.The three deliveries Mishra bowled immediately after taking that wicket neatly encapsulated the day he was having. A half-volley outside off was driven through the covers for four to get Karthik off the mark. A good follow-up delivery induced an inside-edge to short leg but the tough chance was not taken. Then a rank half-tracker was pulled disdainfully through midwicket for another four. The four-ball felt almost inevitable. Antowain Smith Jersey .

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Detroit Lions coach Jim Caldwell said quarterback Matthew Stafford will play Sunday against the New York Giants, even though hes dealing with an injured right middle finger suffered against the Chicago Bears.Caldwell declined to address the exact nature of the injury during his news conference Monday. ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reported on Sunday that the injury is a PIP (proximal interphalangeal) joint dislocation and torn ligaments in the middle finger.He feels like obviously he can get it done, and also the doctors do as well, Caldwell said. Not going to talk to you about the nature of it, what happened, all the rumors and false reports and those kinds of things, but nevertheless hell be able to get through it.It affected him some yesterday when it first happened. I think you saw that through the course of the game, but hes a tough guy. He battled through it, and now he has an opportunity to work with the doctors and get things straightened out that need to be straightened out, and work through it this week, and he should be ready to go.Caldwell declined to say what the false reports weree.ddddddddddddHe said Well see when it comes to how Staffords injury will change what the Lions are able to do in their playbook. Caldwell said Stafford has never worn a glove, so he doesnt know how that could affect his starting quarterback, but he added that he coached Peyton Manning when Manning had to wear a glove.Stafford was injured on a play where a miscommunication led to an intentional grounding penalty.When Stafford threw the ball away, his hand hit Leonard Floyds hand.Caldwell said Stafford made plays Sunday even with the busted finger, and he anticipates hell be a little bit better after a week of practice and getting used to playing with it. Stafford was 21 of 35 for 223 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions Sunday in the 20-17 win.Any time that you have an issue with an arm or hand playing that position, or even your feet for that matter, because you push, Caldwell said. You push in there. People underscore the legs in terms of that.Its something to be dealt with. ' ' '
