India Blue 105 for 0 (Agarwal 53*, Gambhir 51*) v India Red Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsA thunderstorm that turned the Greater Noida Sports Complex ground into a swamp washed out close to two sessions of play after Mayank Agarwal and Gautam Gambhir struck half-centuries at the top of the order after Yuvraj Singhs India Red elected to bowl.Yuvraj, perhaps mindful of his side being bowled out in under two sessions in their Duleep Trophy opener at the same venue last week, was left to wonder what may have been had they converted two opportunities - one each from Gambhir and Agarwal - in the 34.2 overs that were possible. A majority of those were bowled by the pace trio of Nathu Singh, Pradeep Sangwan and Ishwar Pandey in search of seam movement when there was none on a fresh surface that had less grass cover than the one used for the previous game.Gambhir, batting with an open-chested stance, seemingly in a bid to negate the away-going deliveries that have often discomfited him over a period of time, was troubled early on by his Delhi team-mate Sangwan. In the third over of the morning, the left-arm pacer saw an edge fall short of second slip and then had a shout for lbw turned down, but released the pressure in the very next over when he grassed a miscued pull at fine leg off Nathu.Agarwals technique outside off stump also came under scrutiny, but unlike Gambhir, he was happy to trust the bounce and hit through the line. After Nathus initial burst, he looked increasingly comfortable against the Pandey and the spin of Akshay Wakhare and Kuldeep Yadav.Kuldeep, the left-arm wrist spinner who picked up his maiden five-wicket haul last week, didnt get the kind of purchase he would have hoped for. He was also guilty of bowling a touch flat and short as Gambhir, who captains him at Kolkata Knight Riders, eased him repeatedly behind square on the off side.Agarwal, who had a lucky reprieve minutes from the tea break when he fended a Nathu bouncer back for a return catch off a no-ball, got to his fifty in the second over after the break when he lofted Kuldeep over the infield. Gambhir then struck Sangwan for successive boundaries to raise his half-century before retiring to the dressing room to see a gentle drizzle turn into a thunderstorm. Jachai Polite Jets Jersey .

GOLD COAST, Australia -- Harold Varner III set his alarm for 2:45 a.m. For a more seasoned pro such as Ian Poulter, it was a relatively more leisurely wakeup call for 3:30.There was a serious recalibration on Friday at the Australian PGA Championship, the morning after lightning and rain prevented any play late on the first day. Varner and Poulter were among the players who didnt finish their first rounds before the postponement, and had to be back at Royal Pines Resort to tee off at 5:30 a.m. on FridayI cant just get up and feel good. Ive got to stretch, said Varner, who was runner-up here last year after losing a three-way playoff. I dont like to just get up and go. I like to chill.Varner had a share of second spot at 5 under after 14 holes when his first round was interrupted on Thursday. He finished off with a couple of birdies for an opening 65, and a share of the lead at 7 under. His second round followed quickly, and he had a birdie on the 12th -- the third hole of his second round -- to move to 8 under.Double bogeys on the 15th and 16th were setbacks. He had a birdie at the 18th, then a bogey at the 2nd, before finishing with three birdies in his last five holes to card an even second round and remain at 7 under, good enough to keep him up near the top of the leaderboard.The 15th, 16th ... happened real fast, he said. It was just a bad combination. I hit some bad shots and I compounded those with my attitude.Then I also used that attitude to get out of there. I made enough birdies ... it was nice to rebound, finish really strong.Varner had planned to watch a round of Tiger Woods comeback at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas on TV, so there was one benefit to leaving hiis hotel at 3:45 a.ddddddddddddm.When I got here he was leading. Then when I finished my first round, he was 1 under and he had one hole left, Varner said. Its exciting to see him back. Its crazy -- 18-man field, people are so in-tuned to. It just goes to show how much he moves the needle and how much we still need him.At least the 26-year-old Varner had some recent experience of the early bird starts, recalling the times before he emerged on the PGA Tour when he had to get up around 3 a.m. to drive for a Monday qualifier.He was planning a sleep and maybe a trip to the casino Friday afternoon.Poulter had plans for a long afternoon snooze after finishing off his first round, an even-par 72, and then carding a 68 to move to 4 under -- all before lunch.The 40-year-old Englishman, who was sidelined for four months because of an arthritic joint in his right foot before returning to competition in October, said he went to bed before 7 p.m. in order to wake up at 3:30.That was a little strange morning call, I think 3.30 alarm to come out and play golf is a touch on the early side, he said. I dont ever remember an alarm going off at anything in the threes for any tee off time in the last 17 years.I didnt manage to get any jetlag at all flying from America, but a tee times managed to give me jetlag!Poulter said hes happy with his form over the last five tournaments after changing back to an old putter.A little frustrated not to finish the round off strong once I made five birdies on my outward 9 this morning, so it could have been a few better, but Im in position.
