Surrey 279 for 9 (Sangakkara 130*, Roy 42) beat Northamptonshire 276 (Kleinveldt 76*, Cobb 66, Dernbach 4-39) by one wicketScorecard Kumar Sangakkaras masterful 130 not out saw Surrey into the semi-finals of the Royal London Cup in a thrilling one-wicket win over Northamptonshire achieved off the last ball of the match.With Surrey looking likely to crumble in a lower-order collapse, Sangakkara finally found a partner in No.11 Jade Dernbach and the pair found the 27 runs needed for victory.Chasing 277, Surrey slid from 234 for 5 to 250 for 9 with two catches behind the wicket and two run outs as Sangakkkara looked on in frustration from the non-strkers end.Twelve were needed from the final over and Sangakkara leapt across his stumps to paddle sweep Azharullah into the sightscreen for six over the wicketkeepers head. It was an extraordinary shot at such a tense moment. Then with two to get from the final ball - although one would have brought Surrey victory by virtue of fewer wickets lost - he carved a boundary wide of point.It left Northamptonshire heartbroken after a fine comeback in the field and Ben Duckett rueing his dropped catch of Sangakkara on just 7. It came straight to him, albeit firmly, in the gully. It was one a number of moments Northants were left to look back on with regret in the field in a match in which they conceded 13 wides and seven no balls.David Ripley, Northants coach, said: Im very proud of the effort but we made too many individual errors throughout the game - soft dismissals, catches went down, too many extras. But as a collective effort to fight our way back was phenomenal.With three overs to go we were favourites, so its a double-whammy to have it taken away from us. Kumar was sensational in everything he did and it was a wonderful innings.It appeared Surrey were cruising to victory after the chase swung their way in the 21st over. Richard Gleeson was brought back to bowl it. He pulled up with a side strain and left the field. Alex Wakely tried to finish the over but it proved a complete disaster with two high no-balls that were swung for six and four by Sangakkara. Another boundary saw 24 come off Wakelys four legal deliveries. It left 129 to get in 29 overs.Sangakkara was composed and classy, working the bowling around and taking very few risks. A slog sweep against Graeme White brought him fifty in 61 balls. After flogging Wakely, he reached a third one-day century for Surrey in 116 balls. It did not seem then that it would take all of his experience to haul Surrey over the line.Northants were bowled out for 276 with an over to spare - and their total looked light on a good batting surface. Josh Cobb gave them a steady start having lost the toss but regular wickets fell throughout the innings and the hosts were in danger of posting a total well below par without Rory Kleinveldts fine late-order effort.Kleinveldts 76 in 62 balls gave the Northants innings a late revival. It was flagging at 227 for 9 but he found Azharullah for steady company and he blocked up an end to allow Kleinveldt to find the boundary. He carved Tom Curran wide of extra cover, and slapped a six over midwicket.It followed Cobbs 66. He injected some life into the innings in the 19th over bowled by Gareth Batty. A straight drive beat mid-off for four, a waist-high full toss slapped over midwicket for another boundary and the subsequent free hit was launched far over long-on as 19 came from the over.Cobb made his way to a smart half century in 54 balls but Tom Curran returned to angle a delivery into his middle-and-off stumps to break a stand with Alex Wakely worth 69. Wakely fell four overs later to a superb cutter from Sam Curran.Cobb and Wakely began to move the Northants innings along after Jade Dernbach claimed two early and very important wickets, both of them bowled to the batsmans strengths. A ball on the pads of Richard Levi was flicked into the hands of James Burke at deep square leg; another outside off stump to Ben Duckett was slapped to cover diving forward, Burke again the catcher. Dernbach returned to finish the innings off and claim 4 for 39.Shaquille ONeal Jersey Large .Y. - Nelson Mandela will be honoured by the New York Yankees with a plaque in Monument Park.

Even Woodson was blown away by the reception that included more than a hundred fans decked out in Raiders gear and costumes waiting at the team facility for his arrival Tuesday. "It was overwhelming," he said Wednesday. "I think that if at any time Id ever forgotten what the love was like in Oakland, I was definitely reminded yesterday." The love from the fans, the belief in general manager Reggie McKenzies rebuilding project and a one-year contract worth up to $4.3 million all led to Woodsons decision to return to his original team seven years after leaving as a free agent for Green Bay. "I was actually scared of leaving the facility and not having a deal done," he said. "I dont know if I would have made it out of there. But that was a big deal, and receiving that kind of welcome, it definitely put me in a mindset that it would be a good decision to make it happen." Woodson came into free agency after being released by Green Bay in February looking to play for a Super Bowl contender and met with upper echelon teams San Francisco and Denver during the process. Nothing came together with the 49ers and the Broncos werent willing to make the same commitment as the Raiders, leading to Woodsons decision to sign with Oakland. While the Raiders are coming off a four-win season and havent made the playoffs since Woodsons fifth season in 2002, he has trust in McKenzie after spending six seasons together in Green Bay where McKenzie worked in the Packers front office "After talking to Reggie, I got a good feel about how he felt about the team and that just really gave me confidence that theyre going in the right direction," he said. "Going into the facility yesterday, II felt good about where things stood, and if I signed I was going to be going to a team that has good players on the team.dddddddddddd The game is about fundamentals and playing good football, and they have some good players, and if we can put it together then well win games." Woodson, the fourth overall pick in 1998 by Oakland, returns to the Raiders as a safety at age 36. He will likely slide in at free safety in place of the departed Michael Huff and the Raiders will use his versatility to upgrade a defence that struggled last season. Woodson said he has fully recovered from a broken collarbone that sidelined him for nine regular season games last year. Woodson is an eight-time Pro Bowler and 2009 NFL Defensive Player of the Year. He has 55 career interceptions, 17 sacks, 24 forced fumbles and 11 interception returns for touchdowns in eight seasons in Oakland and seven in Green Bay. "Im just going to bring the intensity," he said. "Im a football player so Im going to bring a lot of intensity, somebody thats passionate about the game, and a guy that knows how to make plays. Thats what Im going to bring. I think when guys watch me play, I think that raises the level of other guys because of the way I play the game. Im going to bring that mindset, that mentality to the game, the same as I always have and have fun doing it." One of Woodsons first orders of business will be negotiating with new teammate Tracy Porter to get his old No. 24 jersey back. He wore that uniform in his first stint with the Raiders, owns a Napa winery called TwentyFour and has many fans eager to bring out their old Woodson jerseys to wear to games next fall. "Well definitely have to have that conversation," Woodson said. "We havent had it yet. Raider Nation has me back but I dont know if theyll have me back without the 24 on my back." ' ' '
