India 289 for 3 (Kohli 154*, Dhoni 80) beat New Zealand 285 (Latham 61, Neesham 57, Jadhav 3-29) by seven wicketsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsVirat Kohli scored yet another hundred in a chase, an unbeaten 154, as India hunted down 286 to take a 2-1 lead in the ODI series. India lost their openers with only 41 on the board, before Kohli and MS Dhoni, who promoted himself to No. 4, added 151 for the third wicket to bring the equation down to 94 from 85 balls. New Zealand may have sensed an opening, given the inexperience of Indias middle order, but Manish Pandey showed no nerves in adding an unbroken 97 with Kohli to steer India home with 10 balls remaining.The team batting second had won each of the last three ODIs in Mohali before this, chasing down 299, 258 and 304. Given that recent trend, given the likelihood of dew setting in under lights, and given Kohlis record in chases, New Zealand probably needed at least 300 to test India on a flat batting surface with true bounce.They looked like they would get there, when a 73-run second-wicket partnership between Tom Latham and Ross Taylor took them to 153 for 2 in the 29th over, but a middle-order collapse cost them what turned out to be a significant amount of momentum. They lost six wickets for 46 runs in the space of 9.2 overs. James Neesham and Matt Henry added 84 for the ninth wicket to rejuvenate their innings, but their total of 285 was probably 20 runs short of posing India a serious challenge.Then they did the unthinkable: Kohli was on 6 when he opened his bat face to try and dab Henry to third man. He was probably looking to place the ball finer than he did, but ended up steering it straight to Taylor at wide slip. Tumbling to his right, Taylor dropped a regulation low catch.Either side of that, though, they sent back Ajinkya Rahane and Rohit Sharma, and prompted Dhoni to walk in earlier than he usually does in ODIs. With Kohli and Dhoni at the crease, plenty of hard running was to be expected, but they also found the boundary regularly, going after Mitchell Santner and Neesham to hit four fours and a six from overs 15 to 18. The six, sent soaring over long-off against Santners left-arm spin, took Dhoni to 9000 ODI runs. He became the 17th player overall, the fifth Indian, and the third wicketkeeper to the mark.By the 26th over, both had brought up their fifties, and then Dhoni welcomed Neeshams reintroduction with a straight six that hit the sightscreen on the full, to become the most prolific ODI six-hitter among Indian batsmen. By the end of the 35th over, the target was less than 100 runs away.Dhoni fell on 80, chipping Henry to short cover when he rolled his fingers over the ball and got it to stop on the batsman. Santner sent down a tight 37th over, conceding only one run, and India suddenly needed 93 from 78, but Pandey showed he could be relied on to find the boundary in such circumstances, flat-batting a short ball from Henry back over the bowlers head, and targeting the same boundary in more conventional fashion against Neesham, off a fuller ball.By now, Kohli had stepped up a gear as well. When Tim Southee brought fine leg into the circle, he used his wrists to take a hip-high ball from middle stump and whip it wide of the fielder, and was impressed enough with his own shot to pump his fist. His reaction was far more muted when he guided Neesham for a single to third man to bring up his hundred at the start of the next over, just a simple lift of the bat to the crowd.Then, in the 48th over, came a typical flurry of late boundaries, against Trent Boult: three fours - the best of them an open-faced jab off a near-yorker to beat deep point to his left - and a straight six. It left India just one run to get, and Pandey finished by slugging Southee to the midwicket boundary. Sent in to bat on a pitch where the ball came on and allowed batsmen to play freely on the up, New Zealands openers made their best start of the series. They were watchful initially, scoring only 12 in the first three overs, before Martin Guptill walked down the track to the first ball of the fourth and launched Hardik Pandya for a massive six over long-on. That shot set the tone for an abrupt change of gear: Guptill hit two fours and another six in the next two overs, and Tom Latham joined him by pulling Umesh Yadav over the square-leg boundary.Just when Guptill seemed set for a big innings, Umesh had him lbw, nipping one back just enough to beat his inside edge. Kane Williamson looked in sublime touch after his hundred in Delhi, timing his drives sweetly until he fell against the run of play, lbw trying to sweep Kedar Jadhav.Taylor began scratchily, struggling to pierce the infield against Amit Mishra and Axar Patel, but having only scored 14 off his first 28 balls, he began to find some fluency, hitting two fours and a slog-swept six to move to 44 off 56. His partnership with Latham, who got his second half-century of the series, had moved past 70, and New Zealands score had crossed the 150-run mark.Just then, Mishra produced two beautiful, dipping legbreaks to have both Taylor and Luke Ronchi stumped. At the other end, Corey Anderson and Latham chipped Jadhav to fielders inside the circle. Santner popped a leading edge, off Jasprit Bumrah, to point, and Tim Southee inside-edged Umesh onto his stumps.At 199 for 8, New Zealand were in danger of getting bowled out a long way short of 50 overs, but Neesham and Henry delayed it. Neesham worked out a sensible method to score his runs, his first three boundaries all struck with a straight bat down the ground, and Henry, at the other end, went after anything wide - slashing and punching Umesh for two fours - while defending anything on his stumps.As the slog overs approached, Umeshs old failings resurfaced, as short balls followed wide length balls that allowed the batsmen to free their arms. In the 47th over, Neesham stood tall and pulled him through midwicket before slicing a wide-ish ball to the third-man boundary to bring up his half-century. Henry hit him for a six and two fours off successive balls in the 49th over, and Umesh ended with figures of 3 for 75. New Zealand were bowled out with two balls still left to play, but managed to score 285. Nike Air Presto Off White Nere .

The Flyers had won seven of eight before dropping their last two outings on consecutive days over the weekend. Philadelphia was handed a 6-3 loss by the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday afternoon before dropping a 4-1 decision to the Rangers the following night in New York City. NEW YORK -- The celebration said it all. The normally cool, calm and collected Kyle Edmund dropped to one knee and pumped his fist wildly.He had just stunned 20th seed John Isner 6-4, 3-6, 6-2, 7-6(5) on Louis Armstrong. He continues to break new personal ground, reaching the last 16 of a major for the first time.His prize? A meeting with Novak Djokovic.Djokovic will certainly be well-rested -- his third-round opponent, Mikhail Youzhny, retired after just six games on Friday, while the Serb got a second-round walkover.Youll have to ask him that, if he feels rusty, Edmund told a press conference. For me, if he played matches or not, hes going to be tough to play, isnt he? Hes a good player.He consistently plays well. Thats one thing Ive always noticed. He puts a good level consistently. You would expect that from him on Sunday. He may be a bit fresher. He may have wanted to play more balls, but thats only something he could answer.Their only other meeting didnt go to well for Edmund, either, the Briton beaten in straight sets in Miami earlier this year.I feel I had some good success in that match, the 21-year-old added. In the middle of the match I started taking it to him a bit more. Thats my game. Thats what Ive been doing this tournament. I need to continue to do that.What my game is is trying to be aggressive. Its going to be no different when I play him on Sunday. Thats whats been working. No point in changing it.I just look forward to the experiencee.dddddddddddd Im sure well be on another nice court, like tonight. Being its my first fourth round in a Grand Slam, Ill just embrace it, enjoy the moment, and obviously do my best, like tonight.Edmunds opening win over 13th seed Richard Gasquet was the biggest of his career in terms of ranking, but this felt like a breakthrough victory.Wins over Isner dont come easily, especially on his home court. This was an attritional battle that went two hours, 44 minutes.Crucially, Edmund started the fourth-set tiebreak with confidence and ended it the same way, on a partisan court that was roaring for their compatriot to take the match to a decider.I think I played the big points well, especially in that tiebreaker, he said. I knew it would come down to one or two points. We werent going to break each other much.Its been a great experience so far. I enjoy playing here. Playing John, your chances dont come very often. Youve got to capitalise when they come. You see how many aces he hits down. Youve got to get the ball in court, make as many returns as possible.Edmund has enjoyed a remarkable year, reached a career-high ranking of 67 this year, and winning two singles rubbers to help Britain beat Serbia in the Davis Cup quarterfinals.But those achievements have nothing on his dream run here.Now comes the biggest challenge in mens tennis.
