Australia 429 (Smith 130, Handscomb 105, Wahab 4-89, Amir 4-97) and 5 for 202 dec (Khawaja 74, Smith 63) beat Pakistan 142 (Sarfraz 59*) and 450 (Shafiq 137, Azhar 71, Starc 4-119) by 39 runs Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsPakistans bid for a world-record chase fell a mere 40 runs short, allowing Australia to exhale after coming close to coughing up a match they had dominated over the first four days and nights at the Gabba.Asad Shafiqs sublime century and sturdy support from Yasir Shah took Steven Smiths men close to their wits end, but a Mitchell Starc short ball did for Shafiq when the visitors needed only 41 runs to steal the most fanciful of victories. Three balls later, Smith struck the final blow, running out Yasir from slip after the No. 10 wandered out of his crease, ending a match that had seemed destined for a much wider margin.Starcs speed and direction were vital throughout, and it remains to be seen whether the huge number of overs bowled by him and Josh Hazlewood will have an impact on their physical preparation for the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne. The Australians had a hangdog air in the field for much of the final day, and their relief at the final wickets was palpable.Pakistan, by contrast, will now feel they are very much in the series, with matches on friendlier surfaces in Melbourne and Sydney to come. The Gabba has always been a major competitive advantage for Australia, and the close result will afford plenty of confidence to the tourists even if they are now 1-0 down with two to play.When play began half an hour early, both sides seemed a little unsure of their ground. Shafiq did not take singles he would have gone for the night before, while Smiths fields were notably defensive, often sparing only one slip in a match where catches in the cordon have been comfortably the main mode of dismissal.After the first few overs passed without incident, Shafiq and Yasir grew in confidence, doubtless aided by a vocal contingent of Pakistan supporters who made their presence felt in an otherwise deserted stadium. Shafiq was able to find numerous off-side gaps, while Yasir married impressive defence with the occasional flourish, including an upper cut over the slips and later a handsome flick over midwicket off Jackson Bird.At length Smith brought Nathan Lyon into the attack, but the spinner was unable to find enough consistency to trouble either batsman - even if Matthew Wade appealed for a stumping from a straighter ball that Yasir played inside. Lyon soon found himself relieved of duty.As the runs ticked down the tenseness on Australian faces was acute. Several near misses took place: Yasir square drove in the air a millimetre out of the reach of a diving Lyon; he was given out lbw to Hazlewood padding up, but on review was reprieved by the bounce. Next Yasir appeared to get the slightest of touches when glancing Starc, but Wade could not hang on and any appeal was strangled.Only 41 runs were required when Starc finally found the delivery to break the stand, a throat ball that Shafiq could only throw his bat at, resulting in a skier that David Warner was able to cling onto at gully. Rahat Ali took a single first ball, but Yasirs composure was clearly at an end when he swung wildly at the next one.Next ball Yasir dug out a Starc yorker but ventured out of his crease long enough for Smith to throw the stumps down from slips and begin relieved celebrations for a team that went from dominators to nervous wrecks over the course of Shafiqs wondrous innings.

David Ospina Jersey . MORITZ, Switzerland -- Fog prevented downhill racers from getting their Olympic dress rehearsal. FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Ryan Schraeder had no guarantees when the Atlanta Falcons signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2013.The 6-foot-7, 300-pound right tackle knew hed have to impress the coaching staff almost immediately.When youre undrafted, you come out and have to prove yourself even more to stand out from the guys that were drafted and on the team, he said. For them to see some talent in me and follow through with it, its cool.Schraeders perseverance paid off Monday when the Falcons signed him to a five-year contract extension. A person familiar with the deal says its for $33 million with $12.5 million guaranteed. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because financial terms of the deal were not publicly announced.He has started 35 straight games, but really began to blossom the last two years in offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahans zone-blocking scheme.A big deal about the outside zone is being able to play in space with guys and keep them on the line of scrimmage and not give up penetration, Schraeder said. Youve got to be an athletic guy. Youve got to be big. Youve got to be able to move. Its not an easy offense, but when you have the skill set, you can be successful with it.Schraeders journey to the NFL was somewhat unexpected.He played only baseball and basketball at Maize High School in Wichita, Kansas and was just 5-foot-7 at the start of his senior year. He grew nine inches by the end of the year, but was still skinny. Scholarships werent offered in either sport and he spent the following summer delivering products for a local Wichita meat distributor.His growth spurt wasnt all that surprising. Men on Schraeders fathers side of the family were as tall as 6-6. His mother had a sister who was 6-0.After his body begann to fill out, Schraeder was noticed as a potential talent while playing pickup basketball at Kansas State.dddddddddddd An assistant football coach watched him play and said he should reconsider the sport.Schraeder returned home and spent one season at Butler Community College, then two at Valdosta State. He earned first-team all-America honors for three straight seasons, but still wasnt considered a top NFL prospect.When the Falcons signed him out of Valdosta State, Schraeders size wasnt that impressive. Lots of offensive tackles are 6-7, 300, but Schraeder stuck around mostly because of his athleticism and smarts.The development hes done over the last three years really set the stage for him to be here for extended time, Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said. Congrats to him. Were so pumped hes going to be part of it for a long time.Schraeders new contract is the third big investment Atlanta has made on the offensive line in the last three years. Left tackle Jake Matthews was the NFLs No. 6 overall draft pick in 2014. The Falcons made Alex Mack the leagues highest paid center in March.Hopefully well all be here together for a long time and win a lot of games, Matthews said. Thats the plan.The Falcons (6-4) host Arizona (4-5-1) on Sunday.Game notes LCB Desmond Trufant (shoulder, pectoral) and RB Tevin Coleman (hamstring) did some work on the field in practice. Quinn wont officially update their injury status until Wednesday. Trufant missed the first game of his four-year career in the Nov. 13 loss at Philadelphia. Coleman has missed the last three games.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
