India Red 161 (Abhinav 77, Sandeep 4-62) and 486 (Abhinav 169, Chatterjee 114, Gurkeerat 82, Gopal 5-123) beat India Green 151 (Tiwary 50, Nathu 6-53) and 277 (Raina 90,Uthappa 72, Kuldeep 6-88) by 219 runsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsIndia Green dint even venture a batathon on the final day as they lost their three remaining wickets in less than an hour to hand India Red a 219-run victory in Greater Noida. Left-arm wristspinner Kuldeep Yadav added one wicket to his five-for on day three to finish with nine wickets in the match, which lasted only 10.2 overs on the final day.With the match all but out of grasp, Suresh Raina, resuming on 42, dashed towards a hundred but eventually fell ten runs short; it was Kuldeep, after being caned around by Raina, who got him out. Ashok Dinda and Pragyan Ojha offered no illusions of sticking it out, as they were removed either side of Rainas dismissal. India Red secured six points by virtue of the outright win in the countrys maiden first-class game with the pink ball. Rainas patience against Kuldeep in the first over of the day was a red herring; in the next over he took two fours off Nathu Singh, the second of which saw him back away and glide a short ball uppishly over third man. Raina had hit top gear and Kuldeep would bear the brunt of it in his next over as he conceded three fours. Raina hared out of the crease on all the three occasions, and alternated between hitting straight and inside out.While Dinda had been shielded from the strike all this while, he could last no more than two balls against Nathu in the next over as his meek pull only went as far as mid-on. Nathu then welcomed Ojha by pinging him on the helmet, but he stuck around to watch his captain play a few more shots. Raina continued to take a liking to his Uttar Pradesh team-mate Kuldeep, and smashed his way to three more boundaries.However, it was Kuldeep who would eventually come out on top of this tussle. In the last ball of the 56th over, Raina tried to follow a six with a controlled lob, but it was snaffled at mid-off. Akshay Wakhare helped himself to Ojhas wicket in the next over to bring the match to a close after India Green managed 60 runs in the session.At the presentation ceremony, Raina lauded Kuldeep and provided a positive appraisal of the pink ball. He was also appreciative of the crowd, which made its presence felt - in numbers and decibel levels - over the four days. I was discussing with Yuvi pa [Yuvraj Singh] as well, the more we play, the better well get at it, Raina said. India Red captain Yuvraj Singh felt the pink ball moved a lot more than the SG ball. It was pretty exciting, the pink ball doesnt go old. It was coming onto the bat nicely, he said.Abhinav Mukund, who was named Man-of-the-match for his 77 and 169, said he didnt have any issues with sighting the ball throughout the game. I was getting into good positions. Ive been training well back home, especially batting under lights, he said.That experience helped me here. I think a lot of people had issues sighting the ball, but I didnt have any issues with visibility. The wicket was damp, thats perhaps why so many wickets fell on the first day. I worked hard during the off-season. I got leaner and stronger. I worked on my batting as well. Hopefully this season marks a turnaround for me.India Red next play Gautam Gambhirs India Blue from August 29 at the same venue.

LINCOLN, Neb. -- For all the championships and other high points in Nebraskas proud football history, theres one thing the Cornhuskers ardent fan base desires most of all.They want their team to be relevant.Nebraskas 35-32 win over Oregon on Saturday has put the Huskers back in the national spotlight with a 3-0 record. Theyre in The Associated Press poll, at No. 20, for the first time since December 2014.Theyve won six of their last seven since a 3-6 start in Mike Rileys first season, and they almost certainly will be favored in each of their next four games before visiting Wisconsin on Oct. 29.Riley, whose team plays at Northwestern this week, said the Oregon win was only a starting point.Well have to keep putting an exclamation point on it week after week to make it real, he said.Riley is in charge of one of the most tradition-rich programs. Only five schools have appeared in the AP poll more times since it started in 1936, and the Huskers have won or shared five national titles. The most recent of those came under Tom Osborne in 1997, and Nebraska hasnt won a conference title since Frank Solich brought one home in 1999.So high are the expectations that Bo Pelini, who never won fewer than nine games over his seven seasons, was fired. This is the same school where College Football Hall of Fame coach Bob Devaney once said in 1968, I know the fans are with me, win or tie.Devaney may have been exaggerating a bit. Nebraska fans are known for being able to tolerate some losses as long as the Huskers show up and play with effort. That didnt happen on the biggest stages in recent years.Rileys lack of sustained success at Oregon State made him a surprise hire, and his first season was full of bad luck. The Huskers lost their 2015 opener to BYU on a Hail Mary and four other games by three points or less.We had a lot of close games, and it came down to little details, receiver Jordan Westerkamp said. We said we werent going to be beaten like that anymore.dddddddddddd Just the second year with this new staff, we have grown so much closer with them and have been able to take this playbook in so much more.The Huskers ascent started last year after an embarrassing 55-45 loss at Purdue. The following week they knocked off a Michigan State team that made the College Football Playoff to start a stretch of wins in three of their last four games.Nebraska opened this season with wins over Fresno State and Wyoming and then celebrated the 350th consecutive Memorial Stadium sellout with the win over an Oregon team that leads the Pac-12 in wins since 1997 and has played in two of the last six national championship games.I thought it was a really good win for this team as far as confidence and momentum, Riley said. I think a lot of the teams identity will be sort of defined by how we respond, whether its responding to a loss or responding to a win. As the games go on, if you continue to win they get bigger and tougher. This game will be really, really good for our team.One of the most obvious differences between this year and last has been the play of Tommy Armstrong Jr.The fourth-year starter has thrown for seven touchdowns against one interception. Last season he was picked off four times through three games and was on his way to throwing 16 interceptions, second-most among Power Five quarterbacks.Armstrong also has been given more freedom as a runner, and scored the game-winning touchdown against Oregon on a 34-yard quarterback draw.Its a statement game for our season, Armstrong said. Thats our goal, to be 3-0 going into conference play. As far as this game, its one of the biggest games Ive played in. In front of these fans, they did a great job of supporting us throughout the whole game.---Online:AP college football website: http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
