Joe Root says England are raring to go in their must-win clash against Sri Lanka on Saturday at the World Twenty20.Defeat in their opening fixture against the West Indies put them on the back foot from the off, making every remaining fixture crucial.The West Indies are through to the semi-finals after their victory over South Africa on Friday, and England will join them if they beat Sri Lanka. There is always pressure to perform. We know its a must-win game but its been like that since we got here, Root said of the match, which will be shown live on Sky Sports 2 from 1.30pm.For us its ultimately about winning our game. Thats all we can worry about because thats the only way were going to be able to qualify.You can only really afford to lose one game and even then you can still crash out of the competition. Its T20. Its a complete knockout from here on in if we want to win it.The pressure is no more than it has been since that second game. Its all about getting over the line.To achieve that England know they must improve on Wednesdays display against Afghanistan. England celebrate a wicket against Afghanistan Although a humbling defeat was averted, the Afghan spinners made short work of Englands top six, leaving serious questions over their reading of conditions.Sri Lanka have a strong spin line-up of their own to unleash at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, led by the venerable left-armer Rangana Herath, and Root knows the trial by turn is one his side must combat better. Rangana Herath (right) will lead Sri Lankas spinners Its about learning from the mistakes we made last time in case we are on a similar pitch and face a similar attack with a lot of spin, he assessed.Everyone has their own way of playing spin, theres no right or wrong way, but for me its about trying to face as few dot balls as possible and trying to cash in with the boundaries when they are available.Every surface is different so it is about giving yourself the best chance on that particular pitch. Sometimes you might need to take a few extra balls to get accustomed to it but ultimately it is about playing the situation in front of you. Why do England not learn from previous mistakes when playing spin? You still want to keep that intent but theres other ways of scoring quickly. Maybe you score down the ground a bit more, maybe knock it into gaps and look for twos.Its about communicating that with the guy at the other end, watching the game if youre coming in to bat and doing what you need to do to put a big score on the board or chase one down. Englands Alex Hales hits out against West Indies Alex Hales missed out against Afghanistan with a sore back but returned to training on Friday, even taking part in the traditional football match before nets.That bodes well for his likely involvement, at the expense of James Vince, but the opener will face a fitness test in the morning.He has improved, said Root on Hales. We will get a good idea from how he will be on Saturday, but it is going to be important making sure he is absolutely ready. If not we have a strong squad and I am sure someone will fill in for him.

Wholesale Jerseys NFL . -- Washington Redskins tight end Fred Davis was charged Thursday with driving while intoxicated, a day after he was suspended for an NFL substance-abuse policy violation.AUSTIN, Texas -- Nico Rosberg sat slumped in his chair, exhausted and exasperated after another race and world title was taken away by Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton. Then came the hat toss seen around the world.These friends-turned rivals return to Texas and the U.S. Grand Prix in very different places this week. This time, its Rosberg with the big lead and Hamilton running out of time if he hopes to retain his Formula One championship.Rosberg leads Hamilton by 33 points with four races left on the schedule. That means Hamilton has to make a big push starting Sunday on a track where hes won three of the last four years.America has been good hunting ground for me, Hamilton said.A win streak alone wont do it. Hamilton needs a bad race from Rosberg somewhere. If Rosberg finishes second three times and finishes third once, hell still claim his first career championship. A Rosberg victory anywhere along the way would all but clinch it.My frame of mind at the moment is to have fun, Hamilton said. Im determined to win. Theres never a day in my life when I dont want to win. I could come here like Ive got to win every race, but Ive been racing a long time. I know what Im doing so just go do it the best I can and enjoy.Is that concession?Absolutely not, Hamilton said. Theres still 100 points out there. Its possible.Four-time F1 champion Sebastian Vettel, who won a couple of close title chases, agreed.Hes quick enough, Vettel said. Im sure hell go for it. Its only over when its over.Rosberg may dictate when the end comes. Hes been a different driver since his moment of post-race infamy in 2015.After Hamilton clinched last seasons title in Austin, he playfully tossed Rosberg his podium cap in the drivers cool-down room. Rosberg immediately threw it back at him in a petulant moment captured on live television.The split-second reaction symbolized the meltdown of Rosbergs title efforts and the relationship between two driverss who became friends when they were coming up through the junior circuits.ddddddddddddLast year this race obviously didnt work out so great for me, so Im looking forward to getting back out there and doing my best to get it right this time, Rosberg said.Rosberg emerged from his Austin disaster with steely determination. He won the final three races of 2015 and the first four of 2016. A mid-season slump allowed Hamilton to charge back from a 43-point deficit, but Rosberg has been coolly efficient of late with a run of four wins in the last five races.Rosberg refused to be pulled into thinking about the pressure facing both drivers or whether hes walking a tightrope of emotion with a title so close within reach. His father, Keke Rosberg, won the championship in 1982.I dont know how much pressure Lewis is putting on himself ... Im going to focus on this weekend, Rosberg said.Rosberg also said he wont settle for the safety of second place on Sunday.I will try to push for the win, 100 percent, he said. With the car I have, I can win on any track against Lewis.Hamiltons title hopes took a huge dent two races ago in Malaysia when he was leading late but was forced to retire with an engine problem. Hamilton looked dejected when he got out of the car day and said it felt like something or someone was working against him.A higher power, he later said. It feels right now that the man above or any higher power is intervening a little bit.Like the previous two seasons, Mercedes has dominated the field with 15 wins in 17 races. No other driver has factored into the title chase.If he loses the title, Hamilton said hell try to take it like a man because you cant win them all.Look at all the champions in the past who have who have won championships and lost championships, he said. It is part of the game. ' ' '
