New South Wales 7 for 327 dec and 0 for 51 lead Queensland 6 for 330 dec (Burns 129, Khawaja 79, Labuschagne 76, Hazlewood 4-70) by 48 runsScorecard A Joe Burns hundred and 79 from Usman Khawaja gave Australias selectors significant food for thought on the second day of Queenslands Sheffield Shield match against New South Wales at the Gabba. The squad for the first Test against South Africa is due to be named on Friday and it is entirely possible there will be room for only one of Burns and Khawaja, both of whom were axed during the recent tour of Sri Lanka.Burns opening position was taken in Colombo by Shaun Marsh, who scored a century in that Test and has effectively proven his fitness - he recently suffered a hamstring injury - by making 73 in Western Australias Shield game on Tuesday. The other inclusion in Colombo was allrounder Moises Henriques, who had little impact and will not retain his place in the home summer, which opens up one batting position.Burns and Khawaja, who batted together for a 166-run partnership against New South Wales, might therefore have effectively have been competing with each other for a Test call-up. Having survived a tense evening period on the first day, they resumed on 1 for 39 and both moved to half-centuries against a high-quality attack whose every member owns a baggy green, including current Test players Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon.Eventually, it was Trent Copeland who broke the stand by inducing a top-edge from Khawaja on 79. But Burns found another capable ally and put on 109 for the third wicket with Marnus Labuschagne, who is fresh from being named Player of the Tournament in the Matador Cup, and in this innings looked set for a third first-class hundred before Khawaja declared with him on 85 and the total on 6 for 330.By that stage Burns had departed for 129, his 12th first-class hundred, and he was one of four wickets for Hazlewood, who also had Peter Forrest and Chris Hartley caught behind cheaply. Hazlewood finished with 4 for 70 and Starc, who is coming back from a nasty training injury that led to 30 stitches in his left shin, picked up 1 for 62 from his 19 overs. Lyon took 0 for 75 from 18.Queenslands declaration came immediately after they had taken a first-innings lead, and it left New South Wales having to bat 12 potentially awkward overs under lights before stumps. However, David Warner made the most of the brief period at the crease and raced to 41 from 35 deliveries, while Ed Cowan managed 10 not out. By stumps, the Blues were 0 for 51, with a 48-run advantage in the match.USA Soccer Shirts . Jason Zucker and Matt Cooke also scored for Minnesota, which has won five of six. Kuemper made five saves in the first, nine in the second, and nine in the third.

Logano is tied with Austin Dillon for the final spot that would get in on points when the Chase field is cut from 12 to eight following the race next week at Talladega.Logano and Dillon are 13 points behind seventh-place Martin Truex Jr. They are six points ahead of Denny Hamlin, seven points ahead of Keselowski and 25 points ahead of Chase Elliott.Keselowski finished 38th after a bad mistake Sunday in the Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway, where he tried to slide in front of Denny Hamlin, got loose and was turned by Hamlin. Keselowskis car was ripped apart by the infield grass.While Keselowski -- who entered the race with a 25-point gap on ninth in the standings -- said just days earlier a driver should know his situation, he didnt account for making a bad misjudgment as he did at Kansas.I probably could have raced less hard with a big points gap coming in, Keselowski said. With this format it is probably the smart thing to do, but I dont want to race like that.I want to race my guts out and go for wins. I dont want to points race. I dont care what the damn format is, I am going to give it my best.Keselowski has won the last two restrictor-plate races, and Logano is the defending winner of the Talladega fall race.I dont think it is a must-win situation, Keselowski said. I am not worried about it. I am going to go there and bust my butt to try to win, but I dont think it is a must-win yet.Logano finished third at Kansas, rallying after a pair of blown tires resulted in a horrible day a week earlier at Charlotte.I race to win, said Logano, who swept the quarterfinal round last year. Thats the way I race. I dont know a different way to race.Thats probably the route Im going to go. Im sure well talk about [strategy] this week. But Im a racer.Both drivers could have benefited if Kevin Harvick, who had an oil pump seal come apart at Charlotte, had not won at Kansas. He would have been seventh in the Chase grid, only three points ahead of Logano, heading into Talladega.[[Third] is not disappointing because we still should be proud of the efforts that we had today, Logano said.dddddddddddd But it would have been a lot different if he finished second.Penske has won one Cup driver championship -- with Keselowski in 2012. Last year, both Keselowski and Logano advanced to the semifinal round but failed to advance to be among the four drivers eligible for the title at Homestead.If my team keeps putting up this kind of effort, I dont worry about today, Keselowski said. We will win another race. We will win Talladega and other races and be fine.Logano also tried to be a little bit of a cheerleader after Kansas.We came out swinging, Logano said. Its what we had to do. We did everything we were supposed to do today.Our team executed perfectly.?... Overall Im proud of the effort and the job we did.Xfinity Series: Two weeks off to reboundThe Xfinity Series teams opened their semifinal round (their Round of 8) at Kansas but now have two weeks off until resuming their playoffs in Texas.No doubt if teams have something they want to try on a 1.5-mile track and are in desperate need of points, this will be the opportunity.With Kyle Busch winning at Kansas, no one has automatically advanced into the championship round at Homestead-Miami Speedway.Elliott Sadler (second in the race) and Daniel Suarez (third) have 12 points on fifth, with Blake Koch (ninth) ahead by five points. Justin Allgaier (14th) and Erik Jones (15th) are tied for the final spot, with Ryan Reed (16th) down by two, Brendan Gaughan (31st) down by 17 and Darrell Wallace Jr. (33rd) 18 points out.The last thing you want to do is go into this two-week break wondering, Oh man, how bad are we out, what do we have to do at Texas? Sadler said. And [you then] have to stare at the points for 14 days before you can get back into a race car.Suarez will remain busy. He goes to Mexico this week (with a NASCAR video crew in tow) and then will race a truck at Martinsville the following week.Im looking forward to spending a week there and then coming back and spend another off-weekend racing in trucks in Martinsville, Suarez said. Its going to be a good time and Im looking forward to enjoying it. ' ' '
