England XI 313 for 6 (Buttler 80*, Moeen 70) beat BCB Select XI 309 for 9 (Keyes 121, Mushfiqur 51, Woakes 3-52) by four wicketsScorecardEnglands bowlers and middle-order were given a thorough test but they came out of the Fatullah practice match with a four-wicket win and their confidence boosted.Imrul Kayes hundred kept them in the back-foot but they fought back in the slog overs. Later when they slipped to 170 for 5 chasing 310, the stand-in ODI captain Jos Buttler and Moeen Ali pulped a challenging target as they won with 22 balls to spare. They added 139 runs for the sixth wicket in just 16.5 overs.England started off the chase as they should have, going after the home bowlers. Jason Roy struck couple of sixes, over midwicket and mid-on, and two more fours in his 22-ball 28. James Vince was also going well but in the ninth over, Roy fell to the rookie paceman Ebadat Hossain in the deep leg-side field where Kamrul Islam Rabbi took the catch.Vince fell two short of a fifty after he was caught behind off Ebadat in the 13th over. His 39-ball stay had eight fours and while the innings wasnt long enough, it seems enough to suggest that England may as well go for the Roy-Vince opening partnership.Jonny Bairstow and Ben Duckett kept the run-rate almost intact but in the 19th over, Bairstow was caught behind off Kamrul Islam Rabbi for 11. Duckett who took a bit of time to get settled under the fading light, struck three fours in his 37-ball 29 before Shuvagata Hom bowled him in the 24th over. Things got a little nervy for the visitors exactly five overs later when Ben Stokes fell to Al-Amin Hossain for 28, having struck three fours and a six in 40 balls.From 170 for 5 however, new captain Jos Buttler and Moeen Ali mounted a counter-attack that would put them in good stead for the first ODI, especially if they are chasing under lights.By the 35th over, the pair had settled down with some boundaries and maintained the required run-rate. Five overs later, they accelerated further as they made it to 251 for 5, needing 59 runs in the last ten overs. Moeen fell when England needed just one run, after making 70 off 51 balls with eight fours and two sixes. Buttler was unbeaten on 76 off 63 balls with two fours and four sixes.When the home side batted first, Imrul wasted no time in setting his innings in motion, blazing the first ball of the innings, bowled by Chris Woakes, for a cover-driven boundary. There was no let-up whenever he got strike but at the other end, Soumya Sarkar struggled to get the ball off the square. He fell in the fifth over, beaten by Woakes pace and, judging by his slight crouch, a bit of uneven bounce. By that time Imrul had sped to 26.Imrul was excellent on the off-side whenever the English bowlers were too full or slightly short. He blasted sixes over midwicket off the front foot, and was severe on the spinners, particularly Adil Rashid. With Nazmul Hossain Shanto, he added 85 runs for the second wicket in 15.5 overs. Nazmul struck four boundaries in his 46-ball 36, at times matching Imrul shot for shot.Imrul reached the mark in the 27th over and hardly showed any let up, hammering his fifth and sixth sixes in the David Willey over in which he was finally bowled, leaving 21 overs remaining. His 121 came off 91 balls and included eleven fours and the six sixes. Imrul had added 71 runs for the third wicket with Mushfiqur in just eight overs.Mushfiqur too showed that he could middle the ball, adding another 69 runs for the fourth wicket with Nasir Hossain. During this partnership, Mushfiqur reached his first 50-plus score since June this year. He soon fell to Stokes in the 41st over, bowled for a 57-ball 51 that had five fours.Despite their brilliance for 40 overs, the BCB XI made only 49 runs in the last ten overs, losing five wickets. Englands bowlers, hitherto struggling to find their bearing in the heat, came back strongly. Woakes finished with three wickets while Stokes and Willey picked up two wickets each. Between the two England spinners, Rashid and Moeen, there was only one wicket giving away 117 runs in 17 overs. Wendell Carter Jr. Jersey .

MINNEAPOLIS -- For every football fan who has ever started a season predicting their favorite team will be pretty good, if they stay healthy, the 2016 versions of the Houston Texans and Minnesota Vikings stand as reasons to throw that logic out the window.When the Vikings (4-0) host the Texans (3-1) on Sunday afternoon -- in the first day game played inside Minnesotas sparkling new U.S. Bank Stadium -- it will showcase a pair of rosters that look much different than the ones that took to the practice field a month ago. Yet both teams are atop their respective divisions after one-fourth of the season, and neither has given fans a reason to view them sympathetically.The concept of next man up has been tested repeatedly in both Houston and Minnesota early on, with Texans star defender J.J. Watt out of the lineup for the season with a back injury, while the Vikings lost starting quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and star running back Adrian Peterson -- both most likely for the season -- before the end of Week 2.An ugly 27-0 blanking of Houston by the Patriots a few Thursdays ago is the only blemish on either teams record, and both are doing it with defense. Although the Texans defense took another hit on Wednesday when the team placed defensive end Devon Still on injured reserve due to a foot injury. Brandon Dunn was elevated the from the practice squad as a replacement.The Texans enter Sundays visit to Minnesota -- just the second in franchise history -- leading the league in pass defense, which they hope will pose a problem for new Minnesota quarterback Sam Bradford.While offense has hardly been the story in the Vikings hot sprint to the quarter pole, Bradford has played safe, mistake-free football in his three starts (since coming over from the Eagles in a trade on Labor Day Weekend) and has repeatedly found favorite targets like wide receiver Stefon Diggs and tight end Kyle Rudolph.Hes one of those guys that I think we had a bond early, Bradford said of Rudolph, after the pair connected for a touchdown in the Vikings 24-10 win over the Giants on Monday night. He was a guy that Ive trusted since Ive got here. Hes such a big target and hes got strong hands. He makes a lot of tough contested catches. ... Its nice having targets like that.Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler has plenty of targets, too, and he took advantagee of them in Houstons 27-20 home win over the Titans last week.dddddddddddd. Osweiler connected with rookie wide receiver Will Fuller seven times in the win over Tennessee, but also connected with Titans defenders twice and has thrown six interceptions in the Texans first four games.Thats a trend the team knows cannot continue if they hope to become the first visitors to win a game in the Vikings new home.I just think overall we just need to come out with a better sense of urgency in the second half, and thats going to be a big focus for us along with many other things as it relates to Minnesota this week, Texans coach Bill OBrien said on Monday.Despite being the defending division champions, the Vikings were widely picked as a potential Wild Card team behind Green Bay in the NFC North -- and that was before the significant injuries happened. But Minnesota is making believers with its defense and is in the heads of opponents as one of only three remaining unbeaten teams in the league.The Vikings biggest concern may be in the kicking game, where Blair Walshs confidence has been rattled, seemingly since his missed late chip shot cost the team a playoff win last winter. He has three misses in four games and pushed a 46-yard attempt wide left versus the Giants.I dont know. I wish I knew; I wish I knew, Minnesota coach Mike Zimmer said when asked about his confidence in Walsh. We need to make those or its going to bite us in the rear end.On Tuesday Zimmer said hes not bringing in another kicker to compete for the job, at least not yet, and said Walshs struggles were something the Vikings intend to fix and move on.The Texans only previous road game was that forgettable Thursday night in New England, so they know a better showing will be required in Minnesota.Thats something that we have to answer, Houston linebacker Whitney Mercilus said. How can we play great on the road? We havent done that yet, so this is a great, great test for us to show everybody that we can win on the road, especially in an environment like that.Sundays game will be the fourth all-time meeting between the Vikings and Texans. Minnesota has won the first three, most recently by a 23-6 score in Houston in December 2012.
