Match factsSeptember 30-October 4, 2016 Start time 0930 local (0400 GMT)Big pictureOne-nil down is a bad place to be for a Test team in India. Worse still if you are playing back-to-back games. The memories are t fresh. The heat t invasive. That one ball spins but the other not so much is basically just t much. In 83 years and 249 matches, only twice has a team won the series from this predicament. And New Zealand have to go up against history with their best player feeling crk.Kane Williamson picked up a bug and was unable to train at Eden Gardens on the eve of the match. At the pre-match press conference though, Tom Latham said there was no discomfort to his captain and added he is just resting up and getting right for tomorrow. Indias injury worries, on the other hand, seem to have dissipated with news that R Ashwin is likely to be fit. And with Ravindra Jadeja unlikely to lose his accuracy, they could well sit back and hit autopilot.The pitch was said to have some grass cover and was expected to assist the batsmen early on. And since it would also break up as the game goes on, first-innings runs will be crucial. Helpfully thats when Cheteshwar Pujara and M Vijay average more than 65. Should they win in Kolkata, India will claim the No. 1 ranking once again.New Zealand werent decimated in Kanpur. They had two bad periods of play which need putting aside. Only, the human mind, when told not to do something, tends to ... Lets put it this way. If asked not to think of an elephant in pig tails, what do you do? Perhaps that was why Williamson and coach Mike Hesson advised their players to simply be vigilant for longer and to concentrate on making gd starts. That isnt a put down, nor is it generic feedback. Those are words of understanding and they provide direction. But will they still help New Zealand if they are forced to walk onto Eden Gardens - for the first time in 51 years - without their captain?Form guideIndia WDWDW New Zealand LLDWWIn the spotlightVirat Kohli says he doesnt care about records and couldnt care less about batting averages. His aim is to play a brand of cricket that will take India to the top and he believes such a time may not be far off. However, as a no. 4 batsman and captain of the side, he knows he cannot slack even if the team is doing well. He practiced with a rubber ball in the nets to be better prepared when the cricket ball bounces awkwardly - as two of them did in Kanpur to dismiss him. He clearly doesnt want to be caught off guard in Kolkata.The baby face, the glasses, the mild-mannered persona, the thrifty left-arm spin and fine batting skills lower down the order. Mitchell Santner is going out of his way to emulate Daniel Vettori. But not t many of his team-mates would be disappointed if he tried to be New Zealands version of Jadeja and in the second innings in Kanpur, he tried his best to be - 33 overs, 11 maidens and two wickets.Team newsKL Rahuls hamstring injury provides a way back for Shikhar Dhawan. It is unlikely that Gautam Gambhir would be thrust back into the XI when he has not played Test cricket in two years. India think the pitch may help the batsmen and may be thinking about going with five bowlers. Offspinner Jayant Yadav may be in line for a Test debut with Kohli conscious about the number of left-handers in New Zealands batting line-up.India (probable) 1 M Vijay, 2 Shikhar Dhawan, 3 Cheteshwar Pujara, 4 Virat Kohli (capt), 5 Ajinkya Rahane, 6 Rohit Sharma/Jayant Yadav, 7 R Ashwin, 8 Wriddhiman Saha (wk), 9 Ravindra Jadeja, 10 Mohammed Shami, 11 Umesh YadavNew Zealand have repeatedly placed faith in Martin Guptills ability at the top of the other and may not have any choice now considering the injuries they have had. If Williamson is ruled unfit, Henry Nicholls could get a lk in. Offspinner Jeetan Patel may also play his first Test since 2013, unless they prefer the seam of Doug Bracewell and Matt Henry.New Zealand (probable) 1 Tom Latham, 2 Martin Guptill, 3 Kane Williamson (capt)/Henry Nicholls, 4 Ross Taylor, 5 Mitchell Santner, 6 Luke Ronchi, 7 BJ Watling (wk), 8 Jeetan Patel, 9 Neil Wagner, 10 Ish Sodhi, 11 Trent BoultPitch and conditionsThe square at Eden Gardens was relaid for the first time in 12 years for the 2016-17 season and this Test will be the first first-class game on it. As for the 22 yards, Kohli saw some runs on it: The surface is pretty nice, it has a little bit of grass covering. The wicket is what we see in Calcutta more often than not. Its generally a very gd batting wicket more often than not. We are expecting the same.This is also the first Test in September in Kolkata. The weather has been overcast and there is some rain expected during the course of the match. As such the pitch has been under covers a lot. With sunset approximately at half-past five, bad light may be a concern although provisions have been made to use the fldlights, if necessary.Stats and triviaIt is instructive lking at the list of non-subcontinent batsmen who have done well in the subcontinent. It is dominated by batsmen known for defensive techniques and stubborn occupation of the crease. Allan Border, Shiv Chanderpaul, Jacques Kallis and Alastair Ck at the top and only later followed by those with a bit more flair - Brian Lara, Kevin Pietersen, Ricky Ponting and Viv Richards.New Zealand last played at Eden Gardens in March 1965India will be playing their 250th Test at home.QuotesYou have to do all the cliché things you need to do at the start of an innings. We werent t far away in the first Test. As Hess has alluded to, we just need to do things for a little bit longer. If we can do that with bat and ball it will a gd chance in this match.New Zealand batsman Tom Latham on the areas to improveI dont get motivated by records. If you notice the cricket we played two years ago in Tests and now, its easy to get carried by these records. Youll end up focussing on the process.

Et gave Jose Mourinhos team a decisive lead from Oscars back pass in the 34th. NCAA Jerseys China . -- Bobby Ryan helped the U. MILWAUKEE -- Brock Stewart gave it everything he had for the Los Angeles Dodgers.The problem for him and the Dodgers, so did Milwaukee starter Junior Guerra.The Brewers pitcher allowed two hits over eight innings, Ryan Braun hit a two-run homer and a two-run double and Kirk Nieuwenhuis hit a two-run shot to carry the Brewers to a 7-0 victory on Wednesday night, spoiling Stewarts major league debut.Los Angeles selected Stewarts contract before the game, making him the ninth pitcher to start for the Dodgers this season and fourth to make his major league debut. He is the first Dodger to begin in Class-A and start a major league game in the same season since Hideo Nomo in 1995.Stewart (0-1) retired the side in order in the first, but the Brewers scored five times on six hits in the second, highlighted by Nieuwenhuis two-run homer and Brauns two-run double. After intentionally walking Jonathan Lucroy to load the bases with two outs, Stewart struck out Chris Carter to end the inning.That was definitely fun that first inning, Stewart said. (It) changed a little bit after that.The 24-year-old right-hander regrouped and held the Brewers scoreless for the next three innings. He struck out seven and walked two, throwing 95 pitches.I kind of let it get to me, and left some balls up, Stewart said. They dont miss them here, apparently. Tough inning, but, you know what, I was glad I was able to settle down after that.Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was pleased with Brocks effort which may have earned him another start.Regardless, its exciting for Brock, Roberts said. The first inning was clean, electric stuff. You start the second inning with a couple seeing-eye singles. He leaves a fastball out over to Nieuwenhuis for the homer. Two outs and there was hit by the pitch and a walk and then a double by Braun. It happened pretty quickly ... but he got through five innings. Its a tough stage, but I thought he handled himself well.Stewart last pitched June 24 in the Pacific Coast League when he beat Triple-A Round Rock 8-2, allowing two runs and five hits in six innings. He struck 10 and walked one.Brauns two-run homer off Chris Hatcher in the seventh inning gave Guerra some extra cushion, but the 31-year-old rkie right-hander didnt need it.Yasiel Puig ran into the wall trying to track Brauns home run in the seventh. Hobbling a bit, Puig stayed in the game until running out a grounder to short in the top of the eighth. He came out after that. Roberts said Puig would be in the lineup for the finale of the three-game series.I am pretty sure that was my best start in the big leagues, Guerra said of his 11th career start. Thankfully, I was able to locate pitches, throw strikes and hellp the team win.ddddddddddddGuerra (5-1) allowed Corey Seagers double in the first and Puigs single in the fifth. After he walked Adrian Gonzalez in the first, Guerra retired 21 of the next 23 batters, striking out seven.GONZALEZ TOSSEDGonzalez was ejected in the fourth after striking out. Walking back to the dugout, he flicked his wrist and apparently said something to third base umpire Dan Bellino who tossed him out of the game. Gonzalez was upset with Bellino for calling a strike on a checked swing one pitch earlier. It was Gonzalezs fifth career ejection in 1,724 games.I didnt say it, Gonzalez said of the checked swing that was called a strike. I gestured it. I didnt say a word. Thats the first time in my career that Ive ever been tossed without saying a word and walking back to the dugout. I dont know where the basis of tossing somebody is there.SAVE THAT BALLAfter Stewart struck out the Brewers leadoff batter Jonathan Villar, catcher A.J. Ellis rolled the ball into the Dodgers dugout where it was safely stowed away.PETERSON UNAVAILABLEDodgers CF Joc Pederson, who crashed into the wall Tuesday night, did not play. Hes better than he was yesterday, Roberts said. Its going to be a two, three-day thing and at that point in time, well make a decision (on a move to the disabled list).KERSHAW UPDATEDodgers ace Clayton Kershaw (11-2, 1.79 ERA) is back in Los Angeles and headed for scans on his sore back. Roberts remained cautiously hopeful that the three-time NL Cy Young winner could make his next scheduled start Friday night at Dodger Stadium against Colorado.TRAINERS RMDodgers: The Dodgers placed INF/OF Kike Hernandez on the 15-day DL with left rib cage inflammation retroactive to June 28 to make rm for Stewart. ...
