An impeccable line and length and a stoke of luck helped Bhuvneshwar Kumar rattle New Zealands batting ranks, as he claimed a five-for and restricted the opposition to 128 for 7 at stumps on day two of the second Test being played in Kolkata on Saturday.New Zealands fast bowlers troubled Indias batsmen and restricted the hosts to a first-innings total of 316. But their batsmen - without Kane Williamson out due to injury - faced an uphill task against the new ball on a greenish pitch and confident spinners that wrecked havoc in the first Test.Tom Latham, New Zealands opener, had found runs at Kanpur; but he failed to find his feet in Kolkata and fell to Mohammed Shami in the second over of the match.Martin Guptill, with scores of 7, 8, 21 and 0 in his last five Test innings, had hoped for a change in fortune, but the right hander became Kumars first victim, as he attempted to leave a rising delivery that struck his elbow and rattled the stumps.Henry Nicholls, a replacement for Williamson, failed to fill the vacuum left by his absence. He managed just one as he edged a back-of-a-length delivery, from Kumar, back on to the stumps.New Zealand, after seven overs, was reeling at 23 for 3; and despite a 62-run stand for the fourth wicket between Ross Taylor and Luke Ronchi, they failed to recover.Jadeja broke the stand, after rain delayed play, and dismissed Ronchi for a 52-ball 35; Kumar tore into New Zealand thereafter and made the most of moisture on offer due to rain.Taylor was his third victim and nicked him to first slip, Mitchell Santner - who impressed with the bat in the first Test - then missed a ball that kept low and trapped him lbw for 11. Kumar then completed his five-for by rattling the stumps of Matt Henry two overs before stumps on day two. New Zealand ended the day on 127 for 7, still 188 runs adrift from Indias total.In India you rarely get this kind of wicket, so I wanted to make full use of it, Kumar said. It was one of my dreams to take five wickets in India. When I saw that the wicket would help me, I told myself I want to take five wickets. I really wanted to make use of the opportunity and Im very happy with how I bowled.Vans Shoes Australia Sale . -- The plastic that was taped across the lockers in Oaklands clubhouse came down and the champagne that was on ice went back into the cooler.

But I want the team win every day, and not a loss.Sanos 24th homer followed Cruzs tying shot in the top of the fourth. Cruzs homer reached the third deck in left field for what was estimated by ESPNs Home Run Tracker as 454 feet.Duffey (9-11) gave up the two runs and four hits while striking out four Seattle hitters. Its just the third win by a Minnesota starter since Sept. 3.Pitching, its amazing how it can change the complexion of the game, Minnesota manager Paul Molitor said.Jorge Polanco also had a solo home run for the Twins, who snapped a seven-game losing streak.The Mariners threatened in the ninth against Brandon Kintzler when Robinson Cano singled and Cruz reached on an error by Sano. But Kyle Seagers hard grounder was snared by Sano, who stepped on third and threw to first for a double play. Adam Lind flied out to end the game and give Kintzler his 15th save in 18 chances.Bad moment that I miss the ball, try to catch and throw early, Sano said. I told Polanco, I want another ball. Caught and make double play, finish the game there. This is the situation. My fault when I miss the ball, need to keep going.Ariel Miranda (5-2) lost for the first time in five starts this month, lasting four innings and giving up three runs and three hits.dddddddddddd Seattle fell 2? games behind Baltimore for the second AL wild card.Theyre all important, Mariners manager Scott Servais said. Tonight was important, tomorrows important, the next ones important. Its just where we are in the season.The Mariners have struggled offensively even while winning 11 of their previous 15 games. Theyve scored two runs or fewer in six of their past eight games.The Twins have been in a similar stretch. Polancos third home run of the season in the first gave the team its first lead since last Saturday at the New York Mets.DUFFEYS ADJUSTMENTDuffey had allowed at least five earned runs in three of his past five starts, and the right-hander had his most recent start skipped due to an off day. He said he made an adjustment between starts.Like I told [Molitor] when I came out, You get pissed off enough, you eventually make an adjustment, Duffey said, later adding: Just slowing down. I finally found a good rhythm to keep me composed, to keep from pulling off the ball. I located a lot better today.TRAINERS ROOMTwins: 1B Joe Mauer was out of the lineup for the fourth straight game as he deals with sore quadriceps.
