Kyle Edmund fell to world No. 3 Stan Wawrinka in the second round of the Shanghai Masters.Aiming for a major upset, Edmund instead succumbed 6-3 6-4 and had to settle for words of praise from his conqueror as his days reward.Wawrinka claimed the only break of the opening set in the eighth game, and then looked set to steam through the second after striking first for a 2-0 lead.But Edmund, the 21-year-old from Beverley in East Yorkshire, made a fight of the contest by reeling off the next three games, bringing the set back on serve and showing Wawrinka he would need to step up his game again.The US Open champion rose to the challenge in the ninth game, and then fended off three break points in the next to seal victory with a sliced backhand winner into the corner. Edmund, at full stretch on the forehand, was unable to put the ball back into play.Wawrinka, who dismissed talk of him being a possible future world number one, said he had been wary about facing Edmund, who entered the worlds top 50 this week.I saw him play the last few days. This year Ive seen hes been playing really well recently, Wawrinka said. I was expecting a really tough match because hes improving a lot.Wawrinka added on Sky Sports 3: Hes a dangerous player.Im really happy with the way I controlled the match more or less with my game. There were a lot of positives for me. Authentic Custom Lions Jersey . Oyama had six birdies and two bogeys at Kintetsu Kashikojima in the event also sanctioned by the Japan LPGA Tour.

Lions Jerseys China .C. - The Carolina Hurricanes have placed backup goalie Anton Khudobin on injured reserve with an unspecified lower-body injury. How often has a captain declared on the first day of a Test, as Faf du Plessis did in Adelaide? asked Nick Battcock from England South Africas opportunistic closure in Adelaide last week - which came after Faf du Plessis overheard the umpires telling David Warner he couldnt bat straight away - was only the fourth time in Test history that a captain had declared on the opening day. The first instance was as late as 1949… and wasnt actually legal under the regulations in force at the time. Englands captain George Mann was forced to apologise after declaring at 313 for 9 late on the first day against New Zealand at Lords. The regulations in England had, since 1946, allowed a first-day declaration if the total was past 300 - but that was only for county cricket and not for international matches, even though those New Zealand Tests lasted only three days (they were all drawn, after which all Tests in England were scheduled for five). The New Zealanders were not too bothered, as they didnt lose a wicket in the last 15 minutes of the day. Since then Intikhab Alam closed Pakistans first innings at 130 for 9 on a rain-affected pitch at Lords in 1974 (England lost one wicket before the close), and Michael Clarke called his side in at 237 for 9 near the end of the first day against India in Hyderabad in 2012-13. Clarke and du Plessis ended up losing, while Intikhab and Mann drew the Tests.Parthiv Patel made a Test comeback against England after around eight years - and more than 80 Tests - out of the side. Was this a record? asked Chandra Nagarajah from IndiaParthiv Patel, who returned to Indias side in Mohali after an injury to Wriddhaman Saha, had missed 83 matches since his previous Test, against Sri Lanka in Colombo in August 2008. It meant that Parthiv reclaimed a record he had held once before: he had already missed 43 Tests between October 2004 and his recall for that match in Sri Lanka in 2008. That was the Indian record until Piyush Chawla missed 49 matches between 2007-08 and 2012-13. Parthivs gap is not an Indian record in terms of time, as Lala Amarnath went more than 12 years between Test appearances in 1933-34 and 1946.New Zealands new opener Jeet Raval was born in India. How many other overseas players have they had? asked Khanwakar David from India The Auckland opener Jeet Raval became the 25th person born outside New Zealand to be capped by them in a Test, when he made his debut against Pakistan in Christchurch earlier this month. Hes the fourth from India after Ted Badcock - whos theoretically New Zealand Test player No. 1, being the earliest in alphabetical order from their inaugural Test against England in Christchurch in 1929-30) - 1960s offspinner Tom Puna (who, like Raval, was born in Gujarat), and legspinner Ish Sodhi (born in Ludhiana), who played in the recent series in India. Three of Ravals team-mates in the recent Test in Hamilton were also born overseas: BJ Watling and Neil Wagner in South Africa, and Colin de Grandhomme in nearby Zimbabwe. Badcock was born in Abbottabad, which is now part of Pakistan. Six New Zealand Test players were born in England (Roger Blunt, Roy Harford, Mark Haslam, Vic Pollard, Roger Twoose and Justin Vaughan) and six in Australia (Dean Brownlie, Doug Freeman, Ken Hough, Mathew Sinclair, Dennis Smith and Scott Styris).dddddddddddd Grant Elliott, Colin Munro and Kruger van Wyk were also born in South Africa; the other countries involved are Kenya (Dipak Patel), Scotland (Charles Rowe) and Trinidad (Sam Guillen).Whats the lowest Test total by a team who won by an innings? asked Vamsi M from India The lowest total that was sufficient to win a Test by an innings is 153, by Australia in Melbourne in 1931-32. On a vicious pitch affected by rain, they bowled South Africa out for 36 and 45, with the venerable slow left-armer Bert Dainty Ironmonger - he was two months short of his 50th birthday - taking 5 for 6 in the first innings and 6 for 18 in the second. Australia, for whom Don Bradman was unable to bat after injuring himself in the dressing room, thus won by an innings and 72 runs. That 153 is actually the fewest required to win a Test by any margin, although it was threatened by Englands 156 runs - 81 for 7 declared and 75 for 6 - to defeat West Indies (102 and 51 for 6 dec) on another sticky wicket in Bridgetown in 1934-35. I noticed that England won ten consecutive ODIs in 2012. Was this a record? asked George Robinson from England That successful sequence started in February 2012 in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, where England won four one-day internationals in a row against Pakistan. They then beat West Indies in two matches at home in June 2012, before taking all four completed games of a series against Australia. The run - Englands best in ODIs - came to an end when South Africa won by 80 runs in Southampton in August. The sequence included two abandoned games and a no-result. The best run of all is Australias 21 successive wins between January and May 2003, a period that included that years World Cup in South Africa. Pakistan (2007-08) and South Africa (2005) come next, with 12 wins in a row.Whats the highest partnership in Tests between Nos. 10 and 11 in the batting order? asked Harry Johnston from England The highest partnership in Tests by the last two batsmen in the order is 128, by the England fast bowlers Ken Higgs (63) and John Snow (59 not out) against West Indies at The Oval in 1966. It completed a remarkable revival by England, who reached 527 after being 166 for 7. The stand - two short of the tenth-wicket record in Tests at the time - is recalled in the recent book The Conquests of 1966 by Brian Scovell, a journalist who covered that memorable Test series as well as Englands victory in the football World Cup. Finally David Holford threw up a flighted ball, and Higgs drove it nicely back at him to catch just off his bootlaces, he wrote. The history-making last stand was over. There have now been eight higher tenth-wicket partnerships in Tests, but all of them featured a higher-ranked batsman alongside the No. 11. The biggest of all is 198, between Joe Root (Englands No. 5) and last man Jimmy Anderson, against India at Trent Bridge in 2014.Post your questions in the comments below ' ' '
