South Africa have identified the first and last hours as the time when the pink ball is at its most dangerous but have concluded that it is not the hand grenade it was hyped up to be in the lead up to the day-night Test.Kyle Abbott was South Africas most successful bowler, picking up 3 for 38 from 25 overs, but the only wicket to fall between the 23rd and 87th overs was the run-out of Steven Smith, as Australia claimed a potentially handy first-innings lead.We did expect it to do a lot more, Abbott said. Theres periods of the game where it does a bit. If its new, early in the morning it did a bit then it kind of went quiet after tea, [that] seemed like the best time to bat and then when the light dipped [it got harder again]. I dont think it has lived up to its hype and expectation.Abbott explained that Faf du Plessis day one declaration was an attempt to give South Africa two bites at that new ball, in the two periods where we feel the ball will do the most and that was late last night and early this afternoon. Usman Khawaja was the main block on their progress, so far carrying his bat through three-and-a-half sessions, but South Africa hoped to take advantage of any assistance on the third afternoon to wrap up the innings.Tomorrow is going to be key, Abbott said. If we can pick up the four wickets and not have a deficit of anything 100 and above, we would be pretty confident in knocking off and posting a score after that.The first 15 to 20 overs are going to really testing and I think majority of the wickets have fallen in that period. When its our turn to bat again, we are going to identify that. It seems to be getting better but as pitches naturally do, its going to deteriorate.On a personal note, this was the first time Abbott had played two consecutive Tests and hoped this could be the start of a run in the side for him, having replaced the injured Dale Steyn.The key for me this game coming on the back of Hobart was not to go searching. And not think that because I am taking wickets, I need to take another nine. Thats not the case. I dont look too far ahead. Hopefully it could be the start of an extended run. Its not in my hands - actually it is - I can only bowl well I suppose.Cory Schneider Jersey . -- Five former Kansas City Chiefs players who were on the team between 1987 and 1993 filed a lawsuit Tuesday claiming the team hid and even lied about the risks of head injuries during that time period when there was no collective bargaining agreement in place in the NFL.

Uniteds eighth defeat of a wretched campaign means Liverpool, which currently occupies the fourth and final Champions League place, could go nine points clear of its fierce rival by beating West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.

He sat out Thursday nights 33-21 victory over the San Francisco 49ers while backup Drew Stanton filled in.Speaking at his regular Monday news conference, Arians said he expects inside linebacker Kevin Minter to pass the protocol Tuesday as well. Minter sustained what Arians has called a mild concussion in the 49ers game.The Cardinals also released quarterback Zac Dysert, another sign that Palmer is expected to return, and signed guard/tackle Martin Wallace. Wallace was released by the Chicago Bears on Aug. 28.Arizona lost starting guards Evan Mathis and Mike Iupati with ankle injuries in the 49ers game. Mathis was placed on injured reserve.Arians said it was very good news that Iupati has a sprained ankle when initiially it was feared to be worse.dddddddddddd Arians said he didnt know when Iupati will return.John Wetzel and Earl Watford took over the guard spots against San Francisco and will be in those positions with the starting group when the players resume practice on Wednesday. Wetzel, normally a tackle, hadnt played guard since training camp.He gets a game ball, Arians said. It was huge, not having practiced it even for a while. I thought he stepped up as big as anybody has in a couple years.The coach said rookie lineman Cole Toner is more than ready to make his first NFL appearance.Mathis, in his 12th season, was signed in part to guide right tackle D.J. Humphries in his first season of NFL action. Humphries, a first-round draft pick in 2015, was inactive for every game last season.I think D.J. has grown so much and has learned so much from Evan throughout OTAs this summer that he can handle it on his own now, Arians said.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
