Dhawal Kulkarnis six-for and Abhishek Nayars unbeaten 45 led Mumbai to a tense two-wicket win on the third day against Tamil Nadu, to start their title defense in Lahli. Once Tamil Nadu were bowled out for 185, Mumbai stuttered on their way to chase 97, being 35 for 5 at one point, before Nayar saw them through.Mumbai had a shaky start to their chase, as Aswin Christ removed the openers and K Vignesh got rid of Kaustubh Pawar, Armaan Jaffer and Suryakumar Yadav, leaving Mumbai still 62 adrift with five wickets left. Nayar, who was promoted from No. 7 to 5, held one end with a brisk innings. He got brief support from Aditya Tares 23-ball stay, but Crist had the captain caught behind after the team crossed 50. Kulkarni was then caught behind off Vignesh, before Balwinder Sandhus eighth-wicket stand of 30 with Nayar took the score to 90. Sandhu fell for 12, but Nayar, on his 33rd birthday, used five fours and two sixes to earn six points for Mumbai.Tamil Nadu started their day on 153 for 6, ahead by only 64, and could add only 32 more as Kulkarni ran through the tail. B Aparajith, who was on 15 overnight, kept resisting, but ran out of partners. He was unbeaten on 28 as Kulkarni dismissed J Kousik, Christ, M Mohammed and Rahil Shah. Kulkarni finished with his 13th five-for in first-class cricket, and maiden match haul of 10 wickets, his 6 for 47 having come on the back of 4 for 31 in the first innings.Uttar Pradesh were left with a daunting task to save the match after conceding a first-innings lead to Madhya Pradesh and being asked to follow on in Hyderabad.Bowled out for 176 in the first innings, UP ended the day at 118 for 2, still trailing Madhya Pradesh by 171 runs. Opener Tanmay Srivastava (60*) and Sarfaraz Khan (18) were at the crease, having added 38. A call on whether Suresh Raina can bat will be taken on the morning of the final day. Raina is recovering from a mild fever and didnt bat in the first innings.Wicketkeeper Eklavya Dwivedi was the top-scorer in UPs first innings with 37, while Kuldeep Yadav made 36. MPs new-ball pair of Ishwar Pandey (3 for 65) and Gaurav Yadav (4 for 44) did bulk of the damage. Gaurav had last played for Madhya Pradesh in November 2014.Gujarat made slow progress, but were still in the fight for the first-innings lead against Baroda after half-centuries from Bhargav Merai (70) and Manpreet Juneja (66 not out), in Jaipur. They went into stumps on 277 for 4, still needing 267 runs to pocket three points.Their hopes will hinge largely on Juneja and Rujul Bhatt (38 not out), who shared an unbroken 100-run stand after the Pandya brothers - Krunal and Hardik - removed Merai and Parthiv Patel, the captain, in quick succession to leave Gujarat at 177 for 4. Irfan Pathan was wicketless, while Munaf Patel had one.Railways consolidated their position against Punjab with a 116-run lead on the third day in Delhi. Shivakant Shukla, who made 128 in the first innings, built a solid opening stand with Saurabh Wakaskar, before the latter retired hurt on 56. Shukla ended the day unbeaten on 86, with Railways at 180 for 2 in their second innings.Earlier, Punjab, who resumed on 154 for 4, added only 61 to their overnight total as medium-pacer Manjeet Singh Choudhary picked up three of the six wickets to fall, including the wickets of Gurkeerat Singh Mann (66) and Uday Kaul (61). Choudhary finished with 4 for 56, while Anureet Singh and Deepak Bansal picked up two wickets apiece. Cheap Air Max 97 Sale .

Sir Bradley Wiggins has denied he was trying to gain an unfair advantage when he obtained permission to use a banned drug before some of his biggest races, including his victory in the 2012 Tour de France.Wiggins has faced widespread criticism ever since it emerged he was given injections of the powerful anti-inflammatory drug triamcinolone shortly before the 2011 and 2012 editions of the Tour de France and the 2013 Giro dItalia.This was revealed last week when a Russian-based group of computer hackers known as the Fancy Bears started to publish private medical data belonging to some of the worlds leading athletes that they stole from the World Anti-Doping Agency.In a pre-recorded interview with BBC1s Andrew Marr Show that will be broadcast on Sunday morning, the 36-year-old rider said: (The triamcinolone) was prescribed for allergies and respiratory problems.Ive been a life-long sufferer of asthma and I went to my team doctor at the time and we went, in turn, to a specialist to see if theres anything else we could do to cure these problems.And he said yeah, theres something you can do but youre going to need authorisation from cyclings governing body.You have to show and provide evidence from a specialist that they will then scrutinise with three independent doctors and authorise you to take this product. If one of those three doctors says no, you get declined.This was to cure a medical condition. This wasnt about trying to find a way to gain an unfair advantage.This was about putting myself back on a level playing-field in order to compete at the highest level.The authorisation Wiggins refers to is known as a therapeutic use exemption (TUE), which is effectively a doctors note allowing an athlete to use a substance that would normally be prohibited under WADAs rules because of its performance-enhancing qualities.After last weeks Fancy Bears leak, it is now known that Wiggins has received six TUEs during his career: three for asthma inhalers between 2008 and 2009, and the three injections between 2011 and 2013.The five-time Olympic champion still uses an inhaler but no longer needs a TUE to cover that as WADA relaxed the rules for the most common asthma drugs in 2010. But triamcinolone, a corticosteroid, remains banned as it can aid recovery from strenuous activity, postpone fatigue and help with weight loss.However, there is no suggestion that either Wiggins or Team Sky, his former team, have broken any rules, and his TUEs were approved by the British authorities and cyclings world governing body the UCI.Team Sky responded to the publication of Wiggins TUEs by saying it had followed the rules to the letter and restating its commitment to clean sport. British Cycling has said it is proud of its strong anti-doping culture.But that has not stopped several current and former riders from criticising Wiggins and Team Sky for seekingg permission to use the drug on the eve of his main target in each of those seasons, and expressing surprise that the authorities allowed them to do so.ddddddddddddGermanys Jorg Jaksche told the Cycling Tips website that he and his team-mates used the drug illegally a decade ago and branded Team Sky as a bunch of hypocrites, while Britains David Millar told the Daily Telegraph it was the most potent drug he used when he was doping and could not fathom why a doctor would have prescribed it so close to a race.On Friday, the BBCs Newsnight broadcast an interview with the doctor from the team Wiggins was riding for (Garmin-Slipstream) when he finished third in the 2009 Tour de France, his breakthrough performance on the road.I was surprised to see there were TUEs documented for intramuscular triamcinolone just before three major events, said Dr Prentice Steffen, a well-respected figure within the sport.You do have to think it is kind of coincidental that a big dose of intramuscular long-acting corticosteroids would be needed at that exact time before the most important race of the season.I would say certainly now in retrospect it doesnt look good, it doesnt look right from a health or sporting perspective.Wiggins, though, told the Andrew Marr Show he needed the drug to combat a serious allergy to pollen that would exacerbate his asthma.When asked how he could justify taking a drug usually prescribed for acute asthma attacks less than a week before the Tour, and just two weeks after winning the Criterium du Dauphine, Wiggins said: June-July is the worst period for that - April, June, July, right through those months - and I was having problems.When you win the race three weeks out from the Tour de France, as I did, youre the favourite for the Tour.[And] you have the medical team and coaches checking everythings OK -- Bradley, youre on track here, youre the favourite to win this race, now we need to make sure the next three weeks is...is there anything we can help with at the moment?Well, Im still struggling with this breathing, I know it didnt look like it but is there anything else you can do just to make sure that I dont, this doesnt become an issue into a three-week race at the height of the season?And, in turn, I took that medical advice (to take triamcinolone).Wiggins will hope this interview draws a line under a difficult chapter in what has been an otherwise magnificent story for him as an athlete, particularly as he is widely expected to retire as a professional rider at the end of this season.But that will not stop this debate rumbling on within the sport, as Dutch rider Tom Dumoulin, one of cyclings rising stars, told the De Limburger newspaper on Saturday that he thinks the whole episode stinks.
