Virat Kohli bailed India out of trouble in the first Test against England with an unbeaten 49 to guide his side to a narrow draw. He continued his good run by thumping an unbeaten 241-ball 151, which saw the hosts post a sizable 317 for 4 on the first day of the second Test which began in Visakhaptnam on Thursday.Kohli won a crucial toss and chose to bat first on a pitch that would aid spinners later in the Test. His opposite number, Alastair Cook, cut an almost condemned figure at the toss as he contemplated batting last on the surface.Englands seamers, Stuart Broad, and James Anderson - making his comeback after injury - gave their side just the start they needed as they dismissed Indias openers, Murali Vijay and KL Rahul, in the first five overs of the Test. They had hoped to induce an error from the two new batsmen, but they were wrong as Pujara and Kohli dropped anchor and began rebuilding the innings.Kohli, playing in his 50th Test, was cautious in the first session and added just 35 runs from 61 balls he faced before lunch. In the post-lunch session, boundaries started to flow more freely for Kohli. He made his intentions clear from the start of the session and smacked the first ball from Anderson to the fence.England did have their chance to dismiss him in the 43rd over. But Adil Rashid failed to hold on to a mistimed hook. Kohli maintained his tempo and ended that over with another four. He had raced to 61 from 103 balls at that stage, as the players took drinks.As the day wore on, the Kohli-Pujara combine looked most comfortable against Englands spinners. They thumped Moeen Ali for three fours in the 52nd over of the day, with Kohli hitting the first two. As the duo approached their hundreds, Pujara turned aggressor and raced ahead. He clubbed a short ball from Rashid in the 60th over for a six to register his third consecutive ton in Tests.Kohli got his 14th Test ton in a more sedate fashion as he pushed an Anderson delivery in the 63rd over for two. India lost Pujara, for 119, and Ajinkya Rahane before the end of play. Kohli remained unbeaten on 151 and will look to capitalize on Friday.We wanted to build a partnership. We wanted to bat through the session, Pujara said. The way we started we were rotating the strike. He was timing the ball well, and I was confident after the 100. There was some misunderstanding in the first session. We spoke about that in lunch. If you see it was better second session onwards.This one is slower than Rajkot. I see more rough on both sides of the pitch. There might be a little more help for offspinners as the game progresses. Hopefully there will be more cracks on it by the end of the second day. We would like to put up a big score, and hopefully we dont need to bat again.

SEATTLE -- For one half on Sunday, the best offense in the NFL was stymied by the leagues best defense.Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan was spending as much time picking himself up off the ground than standing in the pocket looking for options downfield.What followed for Ryan and the Falcons was a third-quarter turnaround that was stunning and a fourth quarter that left Atlanta frustrated after a 26-24 loss to the Seattle Seahawks .Atlantas high-flying offensive attack slogged through the first half, woke up during a 21-point third quarter, and made critical mistakes in the fourth quarter that allowed Seattle to rally.Rather than walking away from a two-game road trip with wins at Denver and at Seattle, the Falcons are headed home realizing their missed opportunity.We didnt start the way we wanted to in the first half, but I thought we responded really well in the second half and continued to battle, Ryan said. We just didnt finish the way we wanted to.Ryan finished 27 of 42 for 335 yards and three touchdowns, all coming during the third quarter. He hit Julio Jones for a 36-yard score on the first drive of the second half; found Mohamed Sanu on a 10-yard TD; and later connected with Levine Toilolo on a 46-yarder as the Falcons rallied from a 14-point halftime deficit.For one 15-minute stretch, Ryan could do little wrong. He was 13 of 17 for 220 yards, three touchdowns and a quarterback rating of 157.5 in the third quarter. Ryan turned a 17-3 deficit into a 24-17 lead in a blink, against a defense that prides itself on not giving up big plays.The offense was just clicking. Everybody settled down, said Jones, who had seven catches for 139 yards. Everybody was anxious to play; wed been out here for a week. When you have those matchups like we had today, everybody is ready to show what they have. Nothing about them, just more on us. Settling down and going out there and just playing football.How rare was Ryans performance? Since the start of the 2014 season, the Seahawks have held 25 teams to less than 220 yards passing for a game. Ryan needed just three possessions to accumulate that many yards.What will linger witth the Falcons were the missed opportunities in the fourth quarter.dddddddddddd Atlanta ran just three offensive plays and held the ball barely 2 minutes after Seattle kicker Steven Hauschka missed a 29-yard field goal.And three plays after Seattle pulled within 24-23, Ryans pass slipped through Jones hands, and landed in the arms of Earl Thomas.We wanted to stay aggressive at that point there was still plenty of time left, it wasnt just a time where we were going to run it and punt it away and give (Russell Wilson) and that crew going again, we were going to win the game and having the attitude for that, Atlanta coach Dan Quinn said of the play that led to the interception.Weve got excellent guys who know how to attack it just ended up being a tip ball.Ryan started the second half completing 16 of 19 passes, and missed on his final four throws. That final throw wasnt without debate as the Falcons pleaded for a pass interference call against Seattles Richard Sherman, but no flag came.Before I took off, he grabbed my right side and spun me around before I jumped up, Jones said. It was just a missed call. Its over with. Its done. Were onto the next one.The turnaround in the third quarter was stunning because of what Seattle did in the first half limiting the best offense in the NFL.The Falcons had just 86 yards of offense in the first half. Ryan accounted for most of that, hitting on 11 of 17 passes, but for only 83 yards. And he was battered by halftime as well. Ryan was sacked three times and Seattle registered eight quarterback hits in the first half.Atlanta protected Ryan much better in the second half and he made quicker reads and throws. He was hit just five times and sacked once in the second half.You know going into it that its going to be that type of a game, Ryan said. This is a very good defense, theyre extremely physical, and when you play on the road, as a quarterback, you have to prepare yourself for that.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
