e Bengals twice had to settle for field goals when they got to the red zone. The first came when they started a drive at the 7 af
Yorkshire 281 (Berg 6-56) and 69 for 1 lead Hampshire 222 (Ervine 80, Vince 60, Brooks 5-53, Sidebottom 3-45) by 128 runsScorecard It is on days like this that it becomes apparent quite how good Yorkshire are. While up in Headingley five White Rose players, including three bowlers, appeared for England in an ODI against Pakistan, down in Southampton, Yorkshire scrapped furiously in the field on a warm afternoon to turn a crucial match back in their favour.How many of Yorkshires absent England players would be playing in this match were they available is a matter of debate but if nothing else it is revealing as to the strength in depth and quality at the club that without them they are still able to not only be competitive but successful.Hampshire have played well for a lot of this match, they have definitely had the better of the conditions and at one point they were trailing by 82 runs with six first-innings wickets in hand, yet they ended the second day 128 behind and requiring a dramatic turnaround to stave off defeat.If Yorkshire do end up winning a historic third consecutive Championship title, then they may well come to look back on this second afternoon in Southampton as another significant moment in a growing collection of significant moments.A slow over rate meant that after two hours in the sunshine the afternoon session was extended. Yorkshires ageing team did not wilt though. Ryan Sidebottom, in his nineteenth county season - red face, sweat-laden hair, grimace and all - was the man who turned the match.It was going to take a special ball to remove Sean Ervine, who, fresh from centuries in both innings in Taunton had looked in splendid form all afternoon, and a special ball it was. On that in-between length it tempted the left-handed Ervine forwards but it shaped beautifully away before exploding off the pitch like a firecracker to take the shoulder edge of Ervines bat to be caught behind. Sidebottom charged away in celebration; he knew the importance of the wicket.A score of 199 for 4 had become 199 for 5 and by the time Lewis McManus had tamely chipped to midwicket off the bowling of Jack Brooks and Sidebottom found Ryan McLarens edge with a lovely away-swinger, a session that had been extended was ended early with Hampshire seven down. It took just half an hour after tea for Yorkshire to take the final three wickets, all of them falling to Brooks who completed his five wicket-haul. Yorkshire had taken 6 for 23 leaving them with a first-innings lead of 59.The brilliance of Yorkshires bowling extended beyond the numbers. To appreciate the effort behind the late afternoon collapse it is necessary to understand what came before. With the clouds high, the air thin and the sun out this was far less of a bowling day than the first, yet Yorkshire drew on all their experience and bowled superbly regardless and never really let Hampshire get away.Both Brooks and Sidebottom naturally swung the new ball, but less than Hampshire did on day one. Instead they built pressure by bowling immaculate lines, forcing the batsmen to play at the ball, and their stump-to-stump line only required a hint of swing to beat the bat and bring lbw into play. Both Will Smith and Tom Alsop fell in this manner, beaten by lateral movement. Jimmy Adams, clipping to midwicket like McManus after him, would have been disappointed with the manner of his dismissal.The major partnership of the day was between Ervine and James Vince, as they put on 107 enterprising runs for the fourth wicket either side of the lunch interval. It was during this partnership that Yorkshires fortitude was revealed. Both Ervine and Vince played beautifully. Ervine crunching boundaries, Vince caressing them. Yet as good as they looked and as unhelpful as the conditions were after lunch a wicket never looked far away simply because Yorkshire didnt relent; bad balls were rare and good balls, somehow, kept coming.Just as Vince brought up his second 50-plus score of the season - his first incidentally was a century against Yorkshire in April - and just as he was beginning to look like the player he has been a spectre of since being called up to the Test side, Tim Bresnan tempted a shot and the edge was taken at second slip.It must have all felt painfully familiar to Vince. Not for the first time this summer he had played at a ball that he didnt need to play at. Not for the first time this summer he had played a good innings that ultimately wasnt good enough. Not for the first time this summer, for both Hampshire as well as Vince, the opposition were just too good.Dave Robinson Packers Jersey . SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. Darnell Savage Jr. Womens Jersey .

Dallas tops the NFC East at 8-1, putting the Giants two games back.What helps the Giants is their upcoming schedule. They have a home game against Chicago (2-7) on Sunday and a visit to winless Cleveland the following week.The team is playing as one, said safety Landon Collins, who had his fourth interception in the past three games. Were playing as a unit and playing sound. Were playing every week as a whole. Were taking it week-by-week and getting better.The Bengals (3-5-1) trail the first-place Ravens (5-4) in the AFC North but can still make the playoffs for a sixth straight year. Cincinnati has two games left with Baltimore and one with the Steelers, so it can make up ground.Its a long season, but obviously, its getting shorter, said tight end Tyler Eifert , whose 71-yard catch-and-run set up A.J. Greens touchdown reception. Were not too far back to where we cant find a way to get into the playoffs. So we just have to keep our heads down, keep playing hard and control what we can control. We have to work on winning games, and when we do that, well put ourselves in a winning position.Here are other things to watch:FINISHINGOn a night when the Giants indducted Coughlin into their Ring of Honor, the team played the way their former coach always exhorted them: They finished the game.ddddddddddddNew York played the fourth quarter like a top-tier team. The Giants defended a one-point lead, holding Cincinnati to 37 yards in the last period. On offense, they controlled the clock at the end, never giving the ball back to the Bengals.We had a lot of pressure on Andy Dalton and got a couple of sacks, and for us to get the ball and run out the clock, thats big-time football right there, Manning said.BENGALS SLUGGISH OFFENSECincinnati was held to 264 total yards and was only 2 of 11 on third down.We were in too many 3rd-and-longs and that hurt us. Weve got to be in 3rd-and-manageable situations, Dalton said.The Bengals twice had to settle for field goals when they got to the red zone. The first came when they started a drive at the 7 after Dre Kirkpatricks interception in the second quarter. The Bengals didnt gain any yards and got a short field goal. And rookie Tyler Boyd dropped a possible touchdown catch in the third, forcing Mike Nugents 38-yard field goal.We have opportunities on offense to put more points on the board and we end up having to kick field goals and that ended up probably being the difference in the football game, coach Marvin Lewis said.THE GIANTS CAN RUN THE BALLNew Yorks anemic ground game finally got going against the Bengals and sealed the victory with several clutch runs in the final minutes.The Giants had a season-high 122 yards rushing, the first time in six games they cracked the 100-yard barrier.Rashad Jennings led the way with 87 yards on 15 carries.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and -http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL.
