Cheteshwar Pujara bailed India out of a spot of bother, with an impressive 219-ball 87, after the hosts had lost three-early wickets in the first session of the second Test, against New Zealand, which began in Kolkata on Friday.Virat Kohli won the toss and opted to bat on a surface that offered assistance to the bowlers early on. New Zealand, without their talismanic captain Kane Williamson sidelined due to an illness, rattled Indias top order.Matt Henry, on his Test comeback, produced an impressive opening spell; and accounted for Shikhar Dhawan in his first over and Murali Vijay. When Kohli fell for nine, India was in serious trouble at 46 for three.Pujara stood tall while wickets fell around him. He found an able partner in Ajinkya Rahane and the duo set about rebuilding the innings. The pitch, which had a greenish tinge early in the day, lost its moisture as the day wore on.Pujara hit eleven fours in his 50 that came from 147 balls. By tea, India had scored 136. The Pujara-Rahane combine added 141 runs for the fourth wicket and the duo looked to guide India to a sizeable first-innings total.New Zealand failed to pick wickets in the second session, but their bowlers ensured they made scoring difficult and conceded just 79 runs in 31 overs. Pujara, in a bid to push the scoring rate, drove Neil Wagner on the up, and was caught at short cover 13-runs short of a ton. Rohit Sharma, R Ashwin fell cheaply and Rahane, who had battled through most of the day, finally departed for a 157-ball 77. At stumps on the first day, India had managed 239 for 7, with Ravindra Jadeja and Wriddhiman Saha at the crease.Henry was the pick of New Zealands bowlers and ended the day with figures of 3 for 35 in 15 overs. It was nice this morning. I think we bowled really well, asked them a lot of questions, and they batted really well too, Henry said.We had a little bit more bounce early on, first session, and after that it did flatten out a bit. The way we bowled, and the plans we had to get them out, the wickets towards the end were crucial.Isaac Brizuela Jersey .

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.

They were putting most of their energy into a record-setting offensive display.Nico Rosberg is among a number of F1 drivers who hope Pirellis wet-weather testing this year produces a better extreme tyre for 2017.Sundays Brazilian Grand Prix was red flagged twice and featured five safety car periods as race control struggled to gauge whether the wet conditions were suitable for racing. Several drivers complained of aquaplaning, with Marcus Ericsson, Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen all spinning into the barriers during the race.The conditions were some of the worse F1 has seen this season, but a number of drivers pointed to the extreme-wet tyres tendency to aquaplane.They are very easy to aquaplane with, its not like its raining a lot, Raikkonen said following his incident. Weve said that many times, but it obviously also depends on the circuit and many things.If I compare to ten/twelve year ago those tyres could cope with this kind of rain with no issues, no aquaplaning. The aquaplaning is the biggest issue, if we have a bit of standing water we get zero grip. Thats it.Romain Grosjean, who spun on his way to the grid, added: The extreme tyre is a very poor tyre and there is no grip. You have to take a huge amount of risk to go to the intermediates because they are just faster. But, yes you cannot control the car in a straight line.Part of the problem has been a lack of wet weather tyre testing since Pirelli returned to the sport as the sole tyre supplier in 2011, but this year the Italian tyre company has completed six days of dedicated wet-weather testing to develop its 2017 tyre. Rosberg, who managed to catch a big slide when he aquaplaned on the uphill run to the pit straight in Brazil, hopes the dedicated wet-weather tests will produce better tyres.Its difficult because its ccompletely unpredictable when you go through a little bit more water -- you dont know whats going to happen, he said.ddddddddddddThat makes it really challenging, but they [Pirelli] know that and they are working on it at the moment.Thats why they have been doing wet tests, to make some progress for next year. It would be good for the racing also, because then you dont need to red flag it and you can let the race go on. It will be a good thing.Red Bull boss Christian Horner also hopes progress can be made ahead of 2017, when Pirelli faces an even tougher challenge with a wider footprint that will be more susceptible to aquaplaning.You could see that the drivers were having big issues with aquaplaning on the extreme and the inter. Kimi crashed in front of us on the extreme. [Marcus] Ericsson was on the inter. So we conducted some wet testing for Pirelli at the beginning of the year to try and help, and it seems like there is still room for improvement on the extreme in extreme conditions.However, Lewis Hamilton, who won the race in Brazil without a single mistake, said the conditions were not as bad as they looked.This is Formula One and the rain conditions are the trickiest conditions. If everyone just went round and didnt make mistakes it would be too easy and then everyone could do it. We are going at some serious speeds and there is a lot of water to disperse by the tyres and the tyre just struggles; the faster we go, the harder it is for the tyres. This wasnt a particularly difficult race in terms of being wet, theres been much much worse races in terms of aquaplaning. ' ' '
