Veteran Misbah-ul-Haq muscled his way to a maiden century at Lords to propel Pakistan to 282-6 on day one of the opening Test against England. Atlanta Falcons Jerseys . Skipper Misbah, playing his first Test in England at the age of 42, made light of his years by celebrating his 10th Test ton and second against England with a series of press-ups.He is the third oldest player (42 years and 47 days) to score a Test century at the ground behind Warren Bardsley (43 years 202 days) and Jack Hobbs (43 years 194 days). Misbah celebrated his century against England at Lords in a very unusual way - by doing some press-ups Chris Woakes was the pick of the home attack, finishing with 4-45 after nightwatchman Rahat Ali dragged the final ball of the day into his wicket.Misbah (110 not out) found a resilient ally in Asad Shafiq (73), with whom he shared a fifth-wicket stand of 148 to take the focus - for now at least - off team-mate Mohammad Amir, back at Lords for the first time since the 2010 spot-fixing scandal.Amir had only a watching brief from the balcony after Pakistan chose to bat first having won the toss, the spotlight falling instead on England debutant Jake Ball, who claimed his first Test scalp after lunch when Azhar Ali fell across a full delivery to be trapped lbw - DRS showing the ball clipping leg stump. Watch a pick of the action from the first day of the first Test between England and Pakistan at Lords Earlier, the Nottinghamshire seamer came close to claiming his maiden Test wicket with only his second ball but Shan Masood survived after England opted to review a tight lbw decision.An early breakthrough also eluded Stuart Broad who, leading the attack in the absence of James Anderson, drew an edge from Mohammad Hafeez on 11 only to see the chance bounce in and out of James Vinces left hand.But just when it seemed Pakistan would survive the first hour intact, Masood snicked a Woakes delivery slanting across him and soon after drinks Hafeez (40) skied a top edge that Jonny Bairstow took moving towards square leg. With the pitch offering little assistance, chances remained at a premium after Azhars exit and when Misbah did edge a full, swinging ball from Steven Finn into the slips when he had 16, Joe Root couldnt grasp the sharp chance.Younus Khan (33) shared a 57-run stand with Misbah before falling in rather tame fashion, clipping Broad straight to Moeen Ali at mid-wicket, but the skipper pressed on to reach his half-century off 81 balls by working the first ball after tea into the leg-side for an easy couple.Misbahs positive intent against spin was demonstrated amply in Moeens fourth over with a flurry of four fours, including two reverse sweeps, to take him into the nineties. Watch Jake Ball claim his first wicket for England But for a near-calamitous mix-up shortly after posting their fifty-run stand off 92 balls - Gary Ballance missing with a shy with both batsmen short of their ground at the wicketkeepers end - Misbah and Shafiq stuck solidly to their task.Misbah survived a scare with his century in sight when he nudged Finn square in the air before reaching three figures off 154 balls with a single to third man - the innings featuring 17 boundaries.At the other end Shafiq cut and drove with authority, easing to his fifty off 89 balls and beyond, until he was caught behind with 10 minutes of play remaining as he attempted to leave a Woakes outswinger.Watch day two of the first Test live on Sky Sports 2 from 10am on Friday.

Ito Smith Jersey .

The match, billed as a "next-gen" encounter between two of the sports rising stars, lasted two and a half hours. The loss kept Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., from reaching a third fourth-round spot in Melbourne over the past four years.With a second-place finish at the womens rugby World Cup, Canada showed it deserved a place among the sports elite teams. Figuring out how to stay there is the next challenge, and it could be a big one. The Canadian womens team received unprecedented exposure during its run to the final of the World Cup, which ended in a tough 21-9 loss to England on Sunday. Canadas games were televised live, and winger Magali Harveys brilliant 100-metre try against France in Canadas semifinal win made highlight reels across the country. But even after such a successful tournament, head coach Francois Ratier said in an interview after the final that its possible the team might be forgotten after what he called its "15 minutes." It remains to be seen how Rugby Canada builds on the historic World Cup performance, the precedent set by the sustained interest in womens soccer after Canadas bronze-medal performance at the London Olympics could serve as a possible model. "I think the fact that it was shown on TV is going to make a huge difference, because women around the world and especially in Canada got to see what we were doing on the field and see what it was all about," Harvey said on a conference call Wednesday. "So Im hoping that its going to promote the sport and push females around Canada to try that sport or any other sport." But as helpful as the exposure is, there are hurdles. Ratier said fundraising for the team was a considerable obstacle and getting fixtures against quality teams is a challenge for Canada, but not European teams. Ratier said Wednesday one of the key challenges facing Canada over the next three years is developing depth. While Canadas roster has star power — Harvey won the IRB womens rugby player of the year award, while captain Kelly Russell, who Ratier calls Canadas best player, was a finalist — heavyweights like New Zealand, England and France have more overall depth and can overcome injuries and fatigue easier. "Its iincreasing the depth in certain positions, and making sure that when we have an injury we can replace her with a (quality player)," Ratier said. Deadrin Senat Falcons Jersey. "Its identifying more talent and developing more players in the key positions. This is the key for the next three years." And those players will likely have to incur a substantial cost to participate in the next World Cup. Ratier estimated that Canadian players spent around $10,000 out of their own pockets to attend the World Cup and the preparation tournaments leading up to it. Ratier said its a big commitment "considering we are playing teams that are funded, like New Zealand, England and France. "When you see the French who are paid 120 euros a week when they are away, its not big but at least they can survive," he said. "For us, some of the girls had to resign from their job to go to this World Cup." Money doesnt appear to be an issue for Harvey, who said she doesnt think about the big contracts athletes of her calibre get in mainstream professional sports. "I do it for the love, I do it for the passion, and I do it because I love representing Canada," she said. But representing Canada is not always easy, especially in the three years that follow a World Cup. Ratier after Sundays final that Canada has trouble lining up quality opponents at the same time that France and England are playing in the prestigious Womens Six Nations Championship. There are also some lingering infrastructure issues compared to countries where rugby is considered a top-tier sport for women. Harvey said she was offered little guidance when she first got into rugby in high school, though she added the level of coaching in Canada is improving. "It was pretty scary because there were no coaches who knew how to play rugby so they would just put you on the field and tell you to play," she said. "Now its getting better. Coaches are more informed and teach you more."
