India Green 116 for 7 (Raina 35, Kuldeep 3-26) trail India Red 161 (Mukund 77, Sandeep 4-62, Ojha 3-19) by 45 runsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsIndia Red and India Green approached the countrys maiden first-class game with the pink ball with as much excitement as fear of the unknown - the fall of 17 wickets in the day might point to the latter - before coming out with the feeling that it wasnt an entirely alien beast. It was by no means a jolt-free afternoon and night, though. India Red, having elected to bat, combusted to 161, before India Green hobbled their way to 116 for 7 when they werent busy fighting malfunctioning floodlights.The build-up to the game resembled a carnival rolling into town. Despite its usual thrills of stilted clowns and puppet shows, it is often the Ferris wheel that becomes the showstopper. When a sizeable crowd of flag-waving, chirpy fans made their way to the grass banks of the Shahid Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex, Indias latest domestic season had found its Ferris wheel, this one sheathed in pink. The first session was instructive in tempering a few popular notions about the pink ball, like its exaggerated early swing, for instance. Exhibit A was provided by India Greens Ashok Dinda and Sandeep Sharma, who got the new ball to seam a lot more than swing. Despite a grass coverage of 4mm on the pitch, there wasnt any excessive lateral movement. That India Red slumped to 67 for 6 at the end of the first session was more a consequence of some poor shot-making, and good field-placements from India Green captain Suresh Raina, than any demons that lay hidden inside the pink ball.Dinda said during the tea break the ball stopped swinging and seaming once it had become relatively older, and thereby the bowlers were looking to target the stumps. He said there was no turn on offer, but there was enough evidence to the contrary with spinners accounting for six wickets. There was adequate assistance for both fingerspin and wristspin, with Pragyan Ojha and Jalaj Saxena of India Red, and Kuldeep and Akshay Wakhare of India Green getting fairly appreciable turn.On a day when wickets fell in a heap, Abhinav Mukund was the most successful batsman on either side. Mukunds 77 was instrumental firstly in India Red reaching triple figures, and then his 50-run partnership for the eighth wicket with Anureet Singh, who swished his way to 32 off 21, helped the team cross 150.Mukund admitted to having trouble with sighting the ball at practice on Monday, but said there were no such issues during the match. I was timing the ball well personally. I couldnt sight it quite well in the nets yesterday, but today was better and it was a good experience, he said after the first days play.To be honest, I didnt have much of a problem [sighting] today. I thought I was timing the ball and getting into good positions. The ball was holding on to the wicket sometimes, sometimes [it was] skidding on. Its a new experience. We dont play with the Kookaburra in domestic cricket; its a new experience for a lot of cricketers.India Green had begun in similarly shaky fashion, with Nathu Singh accounting for all the three wickets that fell inside the first eight overs. Nathu, like Sandeep earlier in the evening, profited when he held the seam upright. Robin Uthappa was dismissed by a jaffa that cut back sharply to shave the top of off stump in the seventh ball of the innings, while Jalaj Saxena slashed one that didnt bounce as much to be caught behind. Nathus swerving in-ducker in his next over caught Rajat Paliwal on the shuffle to leave India Green at 31 for 3. Raina and Parthiv Patel then restored calm with a 41-run stand. But after Kuldeep ran through the middle order, Saurabh Tiwary, the last recognised batsman, remained the key to India Green securing the first-innings advantage. Padres Jerseys China .

"I wrote 36 on my sheet at the beginning of the game," the Cincinnati coach said, referring the yard line the ball would need to be snapped from. The Detroit Pistons are heading downtown next season. At the moment, theyre just headed downward.The Pistons have lost four straight, including the first two games of a four-game homestand. Theyll try to reverse their fortunes on Wednesday against another struggling team, the Miami Heat.Prior to the skid, Detroit won its first five games at its current home, The Palace of Auburn Hills, which opened in 1988. Owner Tom Gores announced on Tuesday that the team will move next season into the new downtown Detroit arena that will also house the NHLs Detroit Red Wings.First, the Pistons (6-9) need to rebound -- literally -- from their current doldrums. They have been outrebounded in 11 of their first 15 games despite the presence of center Andre Drummond, who led the league in that category last season.Boston and Houston grabbed key offensive rebounds in the late going of their last two defeats.It got better the last two games but its still not good, coach Stan Van Gundy said after his team fell to the Rockets 99-96 on Monday. Look, I know they dont want to hear it right now. Were all upset about the loss but, especially on the boards and even getting back on transition, were not competing as hard as we need to. In the half court, our defense is pretty good, but up and down the court we get lazy. And on the boards, were just not competing hard enough. Were going to have to toughen up to be able to accomplish what we want to accomplish.Forwards Marcus Morris and Tobias Harris combined for just four rebounds against Houstton and Morris admits he need to do more.dddddddddddd.(Drummond) grabs all the rebounds, so its like the times where we think hes going to get it, we kind of pull out of there, he said. I consider myself a great rebounder, but hes also the best rebounder in the league, so at times we depend on him to get it because he normally does.Drummond will be matched up against another top young center in Hassan Whiteside. Miami (4-9) lost to lowly Philadelphia 101-94 on Monday despite a career-high 32 points from Whiteside.The Heat shot 38.6 percent from the field and 22.6 percent from 3-point range.Offensively we were struggling, Whiteside said to the media afterward. We got some good looks, shots that guys normally make. They didnt drop. It happens.Miami is in the midst of a four-game road swing. It has played the last four games without second-year forward Justise Winslow, who has a sore left wrist.Josh Richardson has been starting at small forward in his absence.Im definitely making progress, Winslow told the Florida Sun-Sentinel. I think the last couple of days have really helped, just getting some of the soreness out of there, but its still a little ways away. But its definitely getting better.The teams split their four meetings last season. Drummond averaged 12.5 points, 15.8 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in those games, while Whiteside countered with 14.8 points, 12.5 rebounds and 3.5 blocks. ' ' '
