One of the defining images of Indias last home series against England is from the last over of the second day of the Mumbai Test: Alastair Cook and Kevin Pietersen have forged a solid reply to what had initially seemed a match-winning 327 from India on a pitch that looked likely to turn square. England are 176 for 2, India are looking for a moment of inspiration to leave them feeling good about the next days play. They turn to Harbhajan Singh, who is looking to revive his Test career. He comes in for the last over, draws Cooks edge off a short ball, but what have we got here? Virender Sehwag is upright at slip. The ball hits his boot, his hands are up around his waist. The moment is gone. Cook and Pietersen come back the next day to trample Indias challenge.Four years on, India have still been dropping catches at slip but in the dying moments of sessions they have been switched on.When a new batting pair arrests a collapse in the last half hour, or tired bowlers prise out a set batsman, their team usually grows a leg upon resumption. A lot of Test cricket is about physical and mental endurance, about concentrating when it is easy for the mind to wander, and, this time around, India have met these requirements for longer than their opponents in taking a 2-0 lead.Two prime examples of India outlasting England over a days play were seen on days one and two of the Mohali Test. On day one England had recovered from 92 for 4 at lunch, losing just two wickets over the next three and a half hours. Jonny Bairstow and Chris Woakes looked at ease going into the last half hour. If England could end the day six down, they would have done enough after winning the toss on a pitch likely to assist spin. India delayed taking the new ball, but rookie offspinner Jayant Yadav produced the inspiration they needed in the 84th over. First, a flat delivery took the outside edge as it ran across Bairstow from around the wicket. The next one drifted and dipped before turning in to trap him lbw. The new ball was duly asked for. Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami, who had bowled 14 and 18 overs until then, bounded in for a final burst. Umesh kept beating Woakes outside edge, but also kept adjusting his line to move it closer to off stump until he pegged back the stump itself. A probable, respectable 280 for 6 turned into 268 for 8. Of course, Shami struck with his first ball next morning. England finished with 283.By the last hour on the second day, through one lucky break - Cheteshwar Pujaras dismissal to a long hop - some sensational fielding, and disciplined bowling to Virat Kohli, England had willed themselves back into the contest. India had gone from 148 for 2 to 204 for 6; four more wickets for 50-odd runs could have proved disastrous for them, given they had to bat last on a dry surface. R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, though, saw off the threat in that last hour. Jadeja, shepherded along by Ashwin, played his most restrained Test innings. England would have probably given an arm for two more wickets on the day, but they didnt have enough left in them to bowl disconcertingly to the lower order - as Indias quicks would do to theirs in the second innings.Before that, in the Visakhapatnam Test, Jadeja broke through Cooks stubborn 188-ball resistance with something special off what turned out to be the last ball of the fourth day. In Englands second innings in Mohali, Ashwin came back for the last over to dismiss Ben Stokes with an inspired review. That wicket was crucial as England went on to write off the deficit and ask India to chase over 100.Over the first three Tests of the series, not counting a teams natural progression to being bowled out or the wickets lost when pushing for a declaration, India have taken 13 wickets in the last half-hour of sessions to Englands five. In a series in which England have lost 53 wickets to Indias 48, those last half-hours have proved to be the difference.For long India have had the reputation of being a side whose concentration and fitness wavers as sessions and days wear on. Here they have shown the skill, the alertness and the resilience to keep coming back when it can be easy to start thinking of lunch, tea or that massage at the end of the day.

SYDNEY -- Hawaii players sped through early-morning drills with traditional island music emanating from a single speaker in one of the end zones. Across town, California held a final, closed workout except for the curious eyes of a half-dozen or so Sydney police officers wondering what all the fuss was about.It was fine-tuning day Friday for Cal and Hawaii as the Golden Bears and Rainbow Warriors prepared for Saturdays season-opening game of the U.S. college football season at Sydneys Olympic stadium.The rain that played havoc with training schedules on Thursday was gone, giving way to a sunny, cool morning at Olympic Park where Hawaii held their final session in the shadow of the stadium that was the centerpiece of the 2000 Olympics.Ten-yard lines were laid down in chalk on the training field at the University of New South Wales just before the Cal players and team officials arrived in four buses from their downtown hotel.The sunny weather on the last weekend of winter in the southern hemisphere was expected to hold for Saturdays midday start local time, allowing the game to be televised live in prime time on Friday evening in the U.S. -- and Friday afternoon in Hawaii.Here are some other things to know about the season opener:----WHY AUSTRALIA?: Officially known as the College Football Sydney Cup, the game was brought to Sydney by tourism officials anxious to again showcase the city and its regional attractions. Football officials hope itll help create an interest in gridiron, but its a crowded market. Officially there are four main varieties of football in Australia -- Australian Rules, rugby league, rugby union and soccer. Australians love the NFL -- at least on television -- but whether American football live will ever catch on remains to be seen. Organizers two weeks ago said they were expecting a crowd in excess of 65,000, but on Friday an event official said only 45,000 had been sold. Last Saturday at the same stadium, traditional rugby rivals Australia and New Zealand attracted a crowd of 65,328. Its the first college football game played in Sydney, but an NFL preseason game in 1999 between Denver and San Diego -- the Broncos won 20-17 -- had 73,000 in the stands.----THE COACHES: Sonny Dykes is the man from Cal. The Pac-12 teams eight wins last year inn the third season with Dykes as head coach was the schools most victories since 2009.dddddddddddd It capped the season with a win over Air Force in the Armed Forces Bowl, its first postseason victory since 2008 in its first bowl appearance since 2011. Former Rainbow Warriors quarterback Nick Rolovich is the new head coach for Hawaii and will try to improve on the teams 3-10 record from last season, including 0-8 in its Mountain West conference. Told on Friday that betting agencies were making Cal a 20-point favorite, Rolovich quipped: Its a funny-shaped ball, it can bounce different ways.---HELMET TRIBUTE: On Saturday and all season , Hawaii players will wear the initials KMT on the back of their helmets to honor U.S. Representative (Kyle) Mark Takai, a Hawaii congressman and former all-American swimmer from the university who died in July of pancreatic cancer at the age of 49. There was maybe no one more who was a supporter of the athletic department, Rolovich said Friday. We asked the family it if was OK, and they felt it would be a nice tribute.---THE QUARTERBACKS: Cals starter Davis Webb has big shoes to fill, replacing Jared Goff, the No. 1 overall NFL draft pick by the Los Angeles Rams. A graduate transfer from Texas Tech, Webb played in 23 games with 14 starts over three seasons and had career totals of 5,557 yards and 46 touchdowns for TTU. His work ethic has been unparalleled, Dykes said after selecting Webb as the starter on the fourth day of training camp. Webb returns the favor: This is what a championship culture looks like, and that is what coach Dykes is developing here. California-born Ikaika Woolsey beat out three other Hawaii quarterbacks. Now in his senior year, he has had 19 starts for the Rainbow Warriors.---THE INTERNATIONALS: First-year running back Genta Ito is from Inabe, Japan and moved to Hawaii after attending Santa Monica College in California for two years. Hawaii has a strong slate of running backs, so hes unlikely to get a start on Saturday but could feature on the special teams. Hawaii also has Sydney-born Max Hendrie, a defensive end. New recruit Ben Scruton is another Aussie who could see some action. ' ' '
