India Blue 693 for 6 dec (Pujara 256*, Jackson 134, Gambhir 94, Agarwal 57, Karthik 55) and 179 for 5 dec (Agarwal 52, Kuldeep 3-62) beat India Red 356 (Binny 98, Mishra 65, Kuldeep 59, Gurkeerat 57, Jadeja 5-95) and 161 (Jadeja 5-76) Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsAfter having been set an improbable target of 517 with two-and-a-half sessions to go on the fifth day of the Duleep Trophy final, India Reds batsmen played a series of poor shots to fall well short of the far more achievable goal of batting out time for a draw. They subsided for 161 to hand India Blue a crushing 355-run victory and, with it, the Duleep Trophy.Ravindra Jadeja took five wickets to add to his five in the first innings, and Karn Sharma chipped in with three, but India Reds biggest nemesis was their own indiscretion. For a majority of their innings, they seemed content to swing with abandon on a wearing pitch that merited a far more calibrated approach.There was sharper turn than on the previous four days, but it remained slow turn and was far from unplayable. However, as Jadeja, Karn and Parvez Rasool warmed into their respective spells, and began putting balls in line with the stumps they became increasingly difficult to play.As India Red sunk deeper into a hole largely of their own creation, the India Blue spinners began to enjoy themselves, taking wickets with some liberally tossed up deliveries. Jadejas ball to dismiss Amit Mishra - the sixth wicket of the innings and fourth in six overs - had just the right amount of flight, turn and bounce to pick up a healthy outside edge on its way to Cheteshwar Pujara at first slip.Not long later, Karn drew Ankush Bains into an extravagant drive, which he only managed to nick to wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik and Sangwan played onto his stumps the next ball. It was Jadeja who took the wicket that sealed the victory, with 43.5 overs left before the scheduled close of play, when he trapped Nathu Singh plumb in front.The day had begun with India Blue pushing their lead past 500, which was followed by Pankaj Singh bowling another venomous first spell that had India Reds top-order batsmen in a lot of trouble. His second delivery cut into the left-handed Abhinav Mukund to hit him on the back pad in front of the stumps, but the umpire turned down the lbw appeal. Though he was batting out of his crease, he was lucky to get away with it. Abhinav was struck on his right shoulder in that same over, off a ball that reared off a length, and though he initially tried to bat on, he had to eventually leave the field for treatment and did not return.Pankaj then induced an outside edge off Dhawan, batting on 11, but Karthik could not hold on to the catch diving to his left. Despite the skill with Pankaj bowled, his five overs could not produce a wicket. They fell to the spinners instead. Chatterjee top-edged an attempted sweep off Jadeja and Dhawan finally succumbed to Rasools probing line when he nicked to first slip where Gautam Gambhir took an excellent diving catch.India Red went into tea at 49 for 2. Upon resumption, their demise was swift. Yuvraj Singh perished to a top-edged sweep off Jadeja that went straight to deep midwicket. Binny, having earlier been caught off a no-ball, gifted his wicket away when he went for - and missed - a full-blooded sweep to a Jadeja delivery that pitched on middle-and-off and straightened. Gurkeerat was stumped attempting an ambitious inside-out drive off Karn. By this stage, the India Blue spinners were humming along and, with Jadejas dismissal of Mishra, the end was very near.In the wake of India Blues 355-run victory, Pujara and Jadeja, with an unbeaten double-century and a 10-wicket haul respectively, would have many good memories to take with them into the home Test series against New Zealand later this month. Dhawan and Mishra, with only 58 runs and three wickets respectively, might be less upbeat.

LA CAVERNE DU PONT-DARC, France -- Chris Froome and the other Tour de France leaders laid bouquets on the podium in a solemn ceremony.There were no kisses, and the usual podium celebrations.The publicity caravan which precedes the riders and blasts music, rode silently.A day after the deadly attack in Nice, Frances biggest sporting event was in mourning.Im not as satisfied as I would normally be. Cycling gets a little less important on a day like this, said Tom Dumoulin after winning the 13th stage time trial on Friday.Froome, second to the Dutch time trial specialist, was in a similar dark mood despite creating bigger gaps on all of his direct rivals with an impressive performance. Froome was the strongest of all the main contenders, and limited his time loss to Dumoulin to 63 seconds.He lead overall improved to 47 seconds on Dutch rider Bauke Mollema. Fellow Briton Adam Yates was third, 2:45 back. Froomes main rival in the mountains, Colombian climber Nairo Quintana, was lagging by 2:59, and the first alpine stage was not until Sunday.Our thoughts are with all the families affected down in Nice. Its where I do most of my training, said Froome, who wore a black armband to his news conference. It definitely puts things into perspective here.Amid reinforced security, the race rolled on and thousands of people lined the 37.5-kilometer (23-mile) route in Ardeche to celebrate the Tour and pay homage to the dozens killed and injured by a truck which drove through beachfront crowds celebrating Bastille Day.There was a minutes silence after the stage, as the yellow, green, and polka-dot jersey holders plus the stage winner gathered on the podium with bouquets.Its a very sad day, said Froome, who tweeted a picture of the French flag in the morning.Im affected by all the things that happened in France. My thoughts are with all the families affected by the attack. I want to express my solidarity with France.Froome attended the post-stage news conference with a black armband. He made only a brief statement after race organizers said he would not take questions about his performance on the bike.Its pretty clear today, said Froome, who lives near Nice in Monaco, everyones thoughts are with those affected down in Nice, and its difficult for us to be talking about the race. I do a lot of training on those roads and to see the Promenade (des Anglais) the way it was last night, with bodies aall over the place, was just horrific.dddddddddddd My deepest sympathies go out to the affected families.The attack, on Frances national holiday, did not deter fans from showing up in numbers at the starting line in the small town of Bourg-Saint-Andeol.We cant let our guard down, but it was important that they continued the race, said fan Bruno Pruvost after organizers had an emergency meeting with authorities. Otherwise, it would be too easy for them.There was also a moment of silence at the start, several hours drive from Nice, and Tour director Christian Prudhomme wore a black armband around his blue shirt.We want to pay homage to the victims with dignity, said Prudhomme, holding back tears. We have been asking ourselves if the race should continue and, after consulting with authorities, we have decided that it should. The Tour de France will continue in a subdued and solemn manner.The publicity caravan, which precedes the riders on the route every day handing out free gifts and souvenirs and blasting loud music, rode silently.Security had already been reinforced at the Tour this month, with France in a state of emergency since the Paris attacks last November. The three-week race is protected by an unprecedented force of 23,000 police officers, including SWAT-like intervention squads, while security guards perform bag checks and pat downs at the start and finish of every stage.Eric Luzet, the police liaison officer to the Tour, told The Associated Press that extra security measures were implemented overnight, with 600 police officers overseeing the stage.Mollema, who was involved in a crash with Froome inside the last kilometer on Mont Ventoux on Thursday, when a TV motorbike was forced to stop on the road because of fan congestion, said his thoughts are with the people in Nice.Froome was awarded the same time as Mollema, a decision that left Mollema unhappy. But the Dutch rider put his rivalry with Froome aside, and had a strong ride on the windy and narrow roads in the picturesque Gorges de lArdeche. Mollema was 1:54 behind Dumoulin, while Richie Porte, Tejay Van Garderen and Romain Bardet all lost ground to Froome.Van Garderen sits in sixth place, 3:19 back, with Porte 4:27 behind.---AP Sports Writer Andrew Dampf contributed to this report.
