Van Gaals injury woes, with Phil Jones, Adnan Januzaj and Guillermo Varela all

improvement when they travel to Wearside, despite conceding a late equaliser
against Chelsea last Sunday. Louis van Gaal has accused the media of inventing
stories ahead of Manchester Uniteds Premier league game at Sunderland on
Saturday Van Gaals side are six points behind bitter rivals Manchester City in
their pursuit of a top-four finish, but have a chance to close that gap, if only
temporarily, in the early kick-off at the Stadium of Light.A spirited fightback
at Liverpool last time out has given Sam Allardyce cause for optimism, but just
one win in four means the Black Cats remain 19th, four points from safety.Team

ahead to Chelseas Saturday Night Football clash with Newcastle before previewing
the 3pm kick-offs. Mersons predictionManchester United have turned the corner,
Ive been impressed. They looked really good at Chelsea and thoroughly deserved a
draw at least. Sunderland, meanwhile, will have felt they did well against Man
City, despite losing, and then they got a lucky draw at Liverpool if Im being
honest. We will have to see whether the speculation surrounding Van Gaals future
affects United but they seem to have turned the corner and I expect them to win
at the Stadium of Light.PAUL PREDICTS: 1-2 (Sky Bet odds 15/2)BettingSunderland

Hydro Flask Bestellen . I cant
pinpoint a date, but I do remember a player from my youth. Brian Downing was
with the Chicago White Sox at a time when I listened to every game I possibly
could on the radio. That particular season the late great Harry Caray was
calling the White Sox games. Just for little while, it seemed the almost
impossible was becoming the merely unlikely.As Alastair Cook and Haseeb Hameed
resisted for 50 overs, it seemed England really might be able to defy India in
the sort of conditions English players grow up to fear. The last 10 overs - and
most of all, that last ball - were a harsh way to wake from the dream.This has
been an odd game. Whatever happens on the final day - and victory for India
remains highly likely - England will leave Visakhapatnam encouraged by their
performance. There seems every chance that this will turn out to be that most
British of things: a heartening defeat. Really, it might be the most heartening
defeat for years.Why? Because theyve proved (to themselves as much as any of us
watching) that they can compete in such conditions. Theyve shown that they have
the character and skill to cope with losing the toss and playing against good
bowlers in turning conditions. And, just as importantly, theyve shown they can
claw their way back into games from unpromising situations. You could make a
strong argument that they have had the best of days three and four. Its just the
damage inflicted on days one and two was too deep.They have learned several
useful lessons, too. They have learned, or been reminded, they cannot afford
even half a bad session in such circumstances. So the loss of their first five
first-innings wicket before the end of the second evening - a couple of them to
somewhat soft strokes - was a setback from which they have never been allowed to
recover. The footwork has to be more certain; the techniques more solid. They
cannot afford a bad hour here.And, while there are no easy answers to dealing
with Virat Kohli - he has looked magnificent in this series - England will
reflect on the chance he offered when on 56 in the first innings and know that,
had they been better organised and had a better fielder than Adil Rashid in
position for the hook trap, the whole complexion of this game might have been
different. It was a fleeing moment, certainly, but that may well prove to be as
good an opportunity as England find in this series. If they are going to win,
they have to seize such moments.They may rue the tenth-wicket stand of 42 they
conceded on Sunday, too. A target of 363 in 160 overs would, perhaps, have been
scarcely less daunting in practical terms. But in terms of morale? Final-wicket
stands drain and dispirit like little else. While England hardly bowled a poor
delivery in the first 100 minutes or so of the day, when they took six for 64,
they may reflect that, just for a few minutes, they then allowed their
concentration to drift and were punished for it.Generally, though, since Jonny
Bairstow and Ben Stokes resumed on the third morning, there has been much to
admire about this England performance. Stuart Broad has never bowled better in
India, Rashid has never bowled better in Test cricket and, for all the praise
lavished upon Indias spinners, Rashid and Moeen Ali have better bowling averages
and strike rates than R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja at this stage in the
series.But perhaps it was the performance of Hameed that provided most cause for
encouragement. For the second Test in succession, Hameed demonstrated a calm
temperament in an unhurried display that belied his 19-years. It took an almost
impossible ball, one that kept horribly low, to dismiss him.These were
desperately tough circummstances for Hameed.dddddddddddd On a pitch offering
turn and, most pertinently, variable bounce, he was tested in just about every
way a batsman can be tested. Indias seamers examined his discomfort against the
short ball and Indias spinners examined his ability to play the turning ball.His
struggles against short-pitched bowlingt will have had fast bowlers around the
world taking note. Whatever he achieves in the next few weeks, it is inevitable
now that Hameed will be on the receiving end of many bouncers when he comes up
against West Indies, South Africa and Australia. And they will almost always be
directed at him on quicker, livelier tracks than this.There was talk of this
potential weakness before he arrived in India. He was troubled by Surreys fast
bowlers (Stuart Meaker and Mark Footitt) in the English summer and by Taskin
Ahmed in Bangladesh.Here he was struck on the hand by the first delivery he
faced - he later received treatment on his little finger, but the England camp
played down any serious damage - after taking his eye off a fine, head-high
bouncer from Mohammed Shami and took two more deliveries in the rib area. He
wore a chest guard in this innings, but he may have a bruise or two for the rest
of this week.But, whether he had been hit or not, he was right back in line for
the next delivery. And whether hit or not, he was right forward to the next
delivery as required. Theres no question of courage with Hameed, he is just
learning to deal with that line of attack. The challenge confronting him might
be compared to that confronting Ben Stokes and spin. Stokes overcame that
challenge; how Hameed manages may well define how far he progresses in
international cricket.There were, in all, nine deliveries that might reasonably
be described as bouncers directed at Hameed. While his inclination seems to be
to sway out of the way, he also ducked once and played the ball from in front of
his face straight into the ground on other occasions. Short-leg was never in
business and the two men out for the hook seemed utterly redundant. It was
painful, but he survived.The manner in which he dealt with spin was even more
impressive. Having been dismissed in Rajkot by Ashwin bowling around the wicket,
he has resolved to watch the ball harder and be even more precise in his foot
movement. He leaves the ball well outside off stump and gets further forward
than most to smother the spin.While other batsmen - and not just young batsmen -
might have become uncomfortable with the slow rate of scoring, Hameed looked
supremely unworried. And while other batsmen might have allowed the match
situation to play on their mind, Hameed seemed to enjoy the prospect of five
sessions of crease occupation. Where else would he rather be?Every day, in every
way (it was Hameed who was most insistent that England should utilise their
review which resulted in KL Rahul being given out) he seems to be growing more
comfortable with this level and the environment of the England team. This was a
terrifically tough day and he came through it bruised but unbowed. It was
another step forward in his development.It is for such reasons that, whatever
happens on Monday, England will leave Visakhapatnam with spirits and heads high.
They are learning and improving all the time. ' ' '
