3 Pakistan openers who scored a fifty in their maiden Test innings in England. Before Sami Aslam made 82 in his first innings, Saeed Anwar had made 74 at Lords in 1996 and Mohammad Hafeez scored 95 at The Oval in 2006. Aslams 82 is the fourth-highest by a Pakistan batsman in his maiden Test innings in England.3 Centuries by Pakistans No. 3 in Tests outside Asia since 2000. The last two centuries, before Azhar Alis in this match, were both by Younis Khan a decade ago. He made 106 at Sabina Park in 2005 and 173 at at Headingley in 2006.15 Prior to this Test, the average score by Pakistans top three against England in England since 2010. In 36 innings across six Tests in this period, there was not a single fifty-plus score; the highest was 48. Also, none of the top three had aggregated more than 100 runs in any of the 12 innings. However, in this innings, two of their top-three made fifty-plus scores and aggregated 211 runs.1982 Last time an opener younger than Sami Aslam, who is currently 20 years and 235 days, made a half-century in Test in England. Ravi Shastri scored 66 at The Oval on that tour, at the age of 20 years, 42 days. Sami Aslam is the fifth-youngest opener to score a half-century in England.181 Runs added by Sami Aslam and Azhar Ali for the second wicket, the second-highest for Pakistan against England. Only the 291-run stand between Mushtaq Mohammad and Zaheer Abbas, also at Edgbaston in 1971, is higher than this.1983 Last time Pakistans second wicket added more than 150 runs in a Test outside of Asia (excluding Zimbabwe). Mohsin Khan and Qasim Umar added 233 at the Adelaide Oval back in December 1983. This was only the fourth 150-plus partnership for Pakistans second wicket in Tests outside Asia (excluding Zimbabwe).78Runs scored by Azhar Ali in his last seven Test innings, before this century. He made five single-digit scores in those innings with a highest of 34. In his last seven innings against England, including the tour of UAE in October and November, he had made 73 runs, and 66 in his last seven innings in England, dating back to the 2010 tour.7Teams against which James Anderson has taken 50 or more Test wickets. Hafeezs dismissal was his 50th wicket against Pakistan. He now has 50 or more wickets against all teams except Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, way ahead of Ian Botham, who managed the feat against four opponents. Only Muttiah Muralitharan - against all nine teams - has taken 50-plus wickets against more teams than Anderson, while Anil Kumble also took that many against seven teams.144 The previous highest second-wicket partnership for Pakistan after losing the first wicket for no runs, by Taufeeq Umar and Younis Khan against West Indies in Sharjah in 2001-02. Aslam and Alis stand is the fourth century stand for Pakistan after losing the first wicket without a run on the board.20.67 Hafeezs average in Tests outside Asia - the lowest by a Pakistan batsman playing 25 or more innings in a top-six position. He has made just two fifty-plus scores in 32 innings outside Asia, the last of which came in 2011 against Zimbabwe. He does, however, average 50.16 in 63 innings in Asia with eight centuries and 11 fifties.Terry Crowley Jersey . The head of USA Boxing came out swinging Tuesday with an open letter to Tyson -- a former Olympic hopeful himself -- that accuses the former heavyweight champion of trying to poach fighters who might be candidates for the U. Miguel Castro Jersey . Andreas Johnson had a goal and two assists while Jacob de la Rose also scored for Sweden (2-0-0). Esa Lindell and Rasmus Ristolainen replied for Finland (1-1-0) Lindell opened the scoring for Finland just 41 seconds into the game, but the hosts quickly regained their composure and tied the score less than four minutes later on Wennbergs first of the game. https://www.cheaporioles.com/138i-whitey-herzog-jersey-orioles.html .C. -- Chris Thorburn thinks one of the reasons the Winnipeg Jets have been successful under new coach Paul Maurice is that theyre playing together as a team. Vladimir Guerrero Jersey .ca. Hey Kerry, big fan of yours, just finished reading your book. I think that we all saw the Canucks/Flames line brawl just after puck drop. It was obvious that something was about to happen, even to the referees because the fourth lines were on to start. Cal Ripken Sr. Jersey . Hargreaves began his career in 2008 with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and has played with the Edmonton Eskimos and last season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.Tony Stewart vowed to enjoy his final Sprint Cup season, and running well over the last eight races has helped.But Stewart also found, and not to his surprise, what Jeff Gordon realized during his final full season a year ago: NASCAR Sprint Cup racing is just too intense and too demanding to have fun throughout the experience.Its work now and retirement when its over. Stewart will have to thrive and revel in the pressure of Sprint Cup racing for 14 more weeks before he hangs up his Sprint Cup driver suit.It is a tradeoff, says the three-time Sprint Cup champion. Its one of the most competitive forms of motorsports in the world right now, and because it is, is why its not necessarily fun all the time.Its work and its a lot of stress and its a lot of hours. I spend more time looking at data than I ever have.At least the work appears be paying off. Stewart has four top-5 finishes in his last five races and six top-10 finishes in his last eight. His last two events, fifth-place runs at Pocono and Watkins Glen, were races where it could easily be argued he had more of a 10th-place car than a fifth-place car, but worked strategically to get the higher finish.It also has some looking at Stewart as the guy who won the 2011 Sprint Cup title with an incredible Chase, where he won five of the final 10 races.Im not sure were ready to rip off five wins in 10 races, but the confidence that we have and the demeanor of everybody on the team is definitely the same right now [as in 2011], Stewart said.Stewart hasnt led enough laps yet to be considered a full-bore championship contender. He led 22 laps at Sonoma, but those laps and one lap at Daytona are all he has led in the last 11 races. Thats not necessarily championship-caliber performance, but it is a performance that would keep a driver in the championship hunt likely until at least the third round.I still think were a little bit short of where we need to be, Stewart said prior to the race at Watkins Glen last week. Were gaining on it. We have got to get to where [teammate] Kevin [Harvick] is to have a shot at it. ... Whether we are going to be a championship contender or not, I want to be running good each week.Weve got that on our side. Everybody is relaxed and everybody is having fun. Thats what I want this last year.Stewart hasnt really thought about the Chase yet for two reasons -- four races still remain (starting with the Aug. 20 race at Bristol), and he doesnt see the use of filling his mind with strategy for his first appearance in an elimination Chase.[The format] doesnt matter - if you go out there and win races, the rest of it takes care of itself -- the same as it did 18 years ago when I came into this series, Stewart said.ddddddddddddIn other words, Stewart will gear up toward his last Chase the same way he has in the past -- he will focus on getting the best finish possible and continue to do things his way. That will include going off to races at dirt tracks and other facilities holding events where his sprint-car teams or the sprint-car series he owns are competing.Stewart points to finishing second at New Hampshire last month after returning from Eldora Speedway in the wee hours of the morning as a sign he can continue the schedule that leaves crew chief Mike Bugarewicz to handle figuring out the setup and Stewart available by text while having fun somewhere else.Being able to do go do those things, if we were having a bad weekend, it got my mind off it, it helped keep me level, Stewart said. Instead of sitting in the motorhome, and sitting there trying to get a Ouija board out and trying to figure out the magic setup was for the next day, I would go somewhere else and get the mind off of it.The best thing I can do is go keep myself busy. When I can do that, it seems to work better for me. ... Its not the sleep I need. Its the clear mind I need. I can stay up like a rockstar still and Im not sure the rest of these kids can.Keeping that clear mind also requires Stewart to not focus on his last race at the tracks the remainder of the season. He knows he will return at least as an owner, so its not like he wont drive through the tunnel in the future.I try to downplay it in my mind, Stewart said. I want to focus on what Im doing for the weekend. The nostalgia stuff, you think about it after the event is over.After Indy [last month], I thought about what Indy meant. I didnt think about it all weekend. I thought about what I could do to win the race. You stick to your guns with what you do. You stay in race mode. When the weekend is over and the race mode is over, then you think about all the other things.Like what he needs to do to prepare for the Chase...[Were] still just trying to find a little more speed, and we just keep building on what weve been building on up until this point -- I dont think were looking for big magic right now, Stewart said. Its just to keep the same progress going and keep going down that path and making it better and better.I sleep a lot better during the weekends. Theres been nights before the race that I felt like we were a 15th-place car and that we were going to struggle, and then we found a way to pull something out of it at the end. And thats what it takes. ' ' '
