When Virat Kohli won the toss and opted to bat on Saturday, he had said that the pitch in Indore would aid batsmen on the first two days of the Test. His prediction came true, as he slammed his second Test double-hundred and combined with Ajinkya Rahane to help India post a mammoth 557 for five in the first innings against New Zealand on Sunday.The Kohli-Rahane combine added 365, which is Indias highest-ever fourth wicket partnership, as they thwarted all attempts from New Zealand to break their stand. The tourists went wicketless for three sessions before Jeetan Patel finally broke through in the first over after tea.Kohli, who has struggled to score freely through the series, began the day on 103. With the weight of runs behind him, Kohli found fluency on a surface where the ball occasionally kept low. When he reached the 150-run mark, just after lunch, his partner, Rahane, wasnt far behind on 124. Kohlis double hundred came from 347 balls and included 18 boundaries. He became the first Indian to make two double-hundreds as captain. He also became the first Indian since Sachin Tendulkar in 2010 to score two double-tons in a year.Kohli eventually fell after tea for 211 as he looked to push the tempo further. Rahane fell shortly after 12-runs adrift from his double hundred. New Zealands openers, Martin Guptill and Tom Latham, successfully negotiated nine overs and added 28 runs to their tally at stumps on day two. Theyll face an uphill task on Monday as Indias spinners will come to the fore on an ageing surface.The pitch has started to turn. Spinners will be handy, we just have to be patient and let the bowlers take care of it, Rahane said. That partnership between us was crucial and memorable. It was great to see Virat bat the way he did, learnt a lot of things. Hes improving as a batsman and a leader. It was very humid and we were tired after tea. We wanted to play shots, but it was tough.Paul Pogba France Jersey .

NBA officials ruled the court unplayable in the Bucks final exhibition game on Oct. 25 because players were slipping, and the game was cancelled midway through the first period.NEW YORK -- NBC set up Friday as duel night between the United States and Jamaica in the sprint relays, and what started out well ended up in heartbreak for the Americans.The American women were working on a second chance in the 4x100-meter relay. Bumped off course in a heat Thursday, they were given another opportunity to qualify by running against a clock. They succeeded, but heard whispers that they didnt deserve that chance.I think they will come out with a lot of attitude, NBC analyst Ato Boldon predicted.He was right, and the U.S. team defended its gold medal with relative ease. Jamaica came in second.Before the men took the track, NBC aired a creative and prescient prepared report, handing the four American sprinters tablets to see video of flubs that had ruined previous races.Unfortunately, weve come to be defined by failure, said the teams coach, Dennis Mitchell.As they will again. Viewers knew it wasnt meant to be when the U.S. began the final lap essentially even with Jamaican superstar Usain Bolt, the worlds fastest man who was attempting to win his ninth gold medal. Nobody would catch him. Japan snuck in for the silver medal and the U.S. thought it earned bronze, but even that slipped from their grasp when they were disqualified for a faulty pass of the baton.HOLD ON: The admonition not to call a race over before it actually is should be the first thing track announcers learn, but NBCs Tim Hutchings apparently wasnt listening that day. About five minutes before the womens 5,000-meter race ended and with Ethiopias Almaz Ayana way ahead, Hutchings referenced the pack of runners behind her and said, its a difficult mindset to adopt, to rrealize that the gold medal is gone and youre racing for silver.dddddddddddd Not so fast. Ayana faded and Kenyan teammates Vivian Cheruiyot and Hilla Onsando Obiri passed her.CLUELESS: Now that weve reached the point of memorizing most of the Olympic commercials, we feel safe offering our nomination for the most annoying. Its those General Electric ads with the clueless younger brother visiting his sister at work. Theyre painfully unfunny, and were at a loss to see how it makes viewers think good thoughts about the company.ARLO TIME: Done right, theres something lyrical about calling a soccer game, isnt there? Its a corner kick for Sweden in the dying embers of the game, said NBCs Arlo White as the minutes ticked away in Germanys 2-1 gold medal victory over Sweden in womens Olympic soccer on Friday. Sweet.VOLLEYBALL: Nice camera work in the US-Italy mens volleyball match showing three Americans laying themselves out simultaneously for the ball. It looked like some kind of coordinated diving exercise, NBC analyst Kevin Barnett said.RATINGS: Bolts gold-medal run on Thursday lifted NBCs ratings in the dying embers of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. The Nielsen company said 21.7 million people watched the telecast. Adding in cable and streaming viewers, and NBC had 22.9 million people watching during the time slot. NBC had an identical number of viewers -- 22.9 million -- four years ago on the same night in London.---Follow David Bauder at twitter.com/dbauder.
