Brisbane playmaker Anthony Milford has led the Broncos to a much-needed 38-16 NRL win over Parramatta.The Broncos five-eighth, who has been struggling to match his dynamic early season form in recent weeks, split the Eels line either side of halftime in a decisive spell at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night.Milford, who hadnt made a line break since the round 13 loss to the Warriors, broke a 10-10 deadlock with the last play of the first half in a welcome return to form for the majority of the 30,189 crowd.The 22-year-old broke the line 30m out from Brisbanes tryline, sprinted past another two Eels defenders and then found winger Corey Oates with a grubber to ensure the hosts had a 14-10 lead at the break.Then five minutes into the second half it was Milford scoring his first try since round 15.The pivot again danced past a static Eels defence to dive over under the posts. Milford capped his night by again bamboozling his way through several Eels tacklers in the last play of the game to send Tevita Pangai Junior crashing over.Its a display that couldnt come at a better time for the Broncos, who have slipped from first on the ladder to sixth during a run of just five wins from their past 13 matches.Its also Brisbanes first back-to-back victories since a win over South Sydney at Suncorp Stadium on April 22.Fridays win continues a dismal run in Queensland for the Eels, who have now lost on their past six visits north of the Tweed River.Oates, another Bronco who has been struggling for form post State-of-Origin, overcame an error which led to the Eels second try to score a hat-trick.Halfback Ben Hunt joined the party with a late try of his own while debutant Jonus Pearson, a late inclusion for Lachlan Maranta (groin), scored a double.The victory ensures Brisbane head into next Thursdays clash with Canterbury full of confidence while the Eels face a tough road trip to tackle in-form Canberra.Broncos coach Wayne Bennett said he had felt a return to form wasnt far away from his charges.Its been coming, Bennett said, adding the try on halftime was a huge boost.Anthonys moment there just lifted everybody.Got in at halftime pretty excited and ready to go again. Eels coach Brad Arthur labelled his teams second-half effort as below the levels theyd set during a crisis-plagued season.Having battled to keep the club competitive in a year dominated by off-field woes, Arthur demanded his players not let their season slip away.Weve done a lot of good stuff this year. We dont want to undo it with three performances where we drop our standards or become another team, he said.Regardless of whats ahead of us, or not ahead of us in terms of being able to play semi-final football, it doesnt matter - we want to do everything we can to try and win every game.Its a long pre-season and we dont want to have too many regrets.Custom Arizona Cardinals Jerseys .

Still, Pittsburgh knows its taut 3-2 win over the Bruins on Wednesday night is a pretty good place to start laying the groundwork. "They are a very good defensive team," Penguins forward Brandon Sutter said.England 589 for 8 dec and 173 for 1 dec (Cook 76*, Root 71*) beat Pakistan 198 and 234 (Hafeez 41, Anderson 3-41, Woakes 3-41) by 330 runs Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsPakistans win at Lords in the opening Test set this entertaining series alight, but England could not have responded more emphatically. They completed a 330-run win at Old Trafford on the fourth evening in a relentless manner that answered many of the questions Lords had presented.Given a firm pitch of decent bounce and pace, Englands pace attack exposed the vulnerability of Pakistans batting line-up and they will yearn for more of the same at Edgbaston and The Oval. They played Yasir Shah with skill - 1 for 264 in the match, although much of the reason for that rested with the captain, Alastair Cook, and Joe Root, the golden child, whose first-innings deeds took the match out of Pakistans reach.If it had been the fifth day, there would have been an air of tension as Pakistans last pair held out with the floodlights burning, the light fading and the sense of showers around. But Englands task was completed a day early, the debate over their decision not to enforce the follow-on with a first-innings lead of 391 made entirely redundant.There was a cloud on Englands horizon, however, and it came in the form of a torn calf suffered by Ben Stokes. Only just back from a knee operation, Stokes broke down in the middle of his sixth over and will play no further part in the series; he might play no further part in the summer. A strong, raw-boned man, his injuries are piling up with disturbing regularity. However, the emergence of Chris Woakes, with seven wickets in the match, will ensure the balance of the side is not unduly affected.If England chose the conservative option by not enforcing the follow-on, nobody could suggest their second innings lacked impetus as they rattled up 173 for 1 at nearly a run a ball before the declaration - the last 75 in nine overs on the fourth morning. Couldnt have gone better, said CookMisbah-ul-Haq now faces a huge task to rally his side in the nine days before the third Test at Edgbaston. When Pakistans captain became the fifth wicket to fall 15 minutes before tea - out for 35 as he jabbed a wide yorker from Woakes on to his stumps - the edifice always looked likely to crumble.Pakistan, set a notional 565 to win, faced the demanding task of batting for 11 hours to save the Test. That is longer than a full season of Game of Thrones. The first hour before lunch did not go awfully well: two wickets down already, with even the most ardent Pakistan supporter braced for the inevitable.James Anderson was a Lancashire lad in his element, revelling in overhead conditions that enabled the ball to swing and an excellent pitch that seems to have become harder and bouncier as the Test has progressed. Shan Masood and Azhar Ali were pocketed in the 16 overs up to lunch, Anderson claiming 2 for 13 in a masterful seven-over spell.Firstly, there were formalities to be dealt with, namely the dismissal of Masood by Anderson. It has become as natural a task as removing the top from a bottle of milk. Masood was popped on to the doorstep as Anderson awoke to his task and, with a silent nod of thanks, he helped himself.There have been two ways to remove the bottle top: short balls of tight line which Masood has deflected oon to his stumps, or routine outswingers.ddddddddddddThis time Masood succumbed to the latter, edging to Cook at first slip. He has been out to Anderson six times in six innings now (in Tests in which both have played) with no score of substance. There again, he is merely following a trend: the last time Pakistans openers reached a fifty-stand in a Test in England was 24 attempts ago, by Aamer Sohail and Saeed Anwar at The Oval in 1996.With Masood out of the picture, it was the inswinger that did for Azhar, bowled tighter to the stumps and having the batsman lbw as he tried to work him through square leg.At such times, a batsman with a 50-plus Test average and a penchant for marathon innings comes in useful. That batsman was Younis. But Younis looked spooked by a pitch that was much bouncier than those to which he has become accustomed in the UAE.In the first innings, he danced across the crease to Stokes as he fell to a leg-side catch. The John Travolta of the Test circuit was still at it in the second innings, rearing his back leg as he received his first ball from Anderson, and repeating it on several other occasions. Stokes should have dismissed him on 3 but Cook dropped a sitter at first slip.A quick chorus, in deference to Travolta, of Youre The One That I Want would have been appropriate and Moeen picked up his wicket for a song, defeating Younis in the flight as he sallied down the pitch to launch him off the bottom of the bat to long-on.Moeen evinces little threat but somehow the wickets tot up. By then he had already removed Mohammad Hafeez, who had resisted in stately manner until he was caught at short leg with one that turned and bounced. Not many deliveries did that, but once again Moeen has probably done just enough with the ball to retain Englands affections.Misbah is playing his first Test series in England at the age of 42, a time when it should be almost impossible to adapt to the intricacies of such alien conditions, but since the beginning of the series, his good sense - both in his batting and as a figurehead for his team - has been commendable. He bore his responsibilities gravely, resisting the pace bowlers and sweeping Moeen with confidence.But his departure made the capture of five wickets after tea look a formality: After all, Woakes is carded to bat No 8 for England; by then Pakistan are already down to Yasir Shah.Sarfraz Ahmed departed in the first over after the resumption as the slightest deflection off the glove gave Woakes a leg-side strangle. The following over, Asad Shafiq, who had played neatly, fell lbw to an Anderson nip-backer as England successfully reviewed.That just left the dregs. Yasir fell lbw to Moeen as he tried to pull and there was a brief appearance by Root, who added a wicket to his 325 runs in the match: two balls into his solitary over, Wahab Riazs ungainly slog sweep at a ball well outside off stump top-edging gently into the hands of Cook at short fine leg. Mohammad Amir rode his luck for a while, but the rain held off, Woakes once again revealed the knack of taking a wicket in his first over (Graeme Swann-like, except without the gab), when Amir drove to mid-off and there was no need to come back in the morning.
