OAKLAND, Calif. -- When Amari Cooper arrived at Alabama back in 2012, he immediately started studying film of an old Crimson Tide receiver he wanted to emulate.Cooper took those lessons from watching Julio Jones and ended up breaking all the major career receiving records at Alabama and following him into the NFL as a first-round draft pick.Now Cooper gets to share a field with Jones when the Oakland Raiders (1-0) host the Atlanta Falcons (0-1) on Sunday.When I got to Alabama he was like the guy, the receiver, Cooper said. I looked at a lot of his film and studied a lot of his film and said I want to do some of the things he did.Cooper is doing just that in his brief NFL career. After becoming the first Oakland receiver to record at least 1,000 yards receiving in his rookie season, Cooper is off to a fast start this year after catching six balls for 137 yards in a season-opening win against New Orleans.Amari is a fast, twitchy guy, Jones said. Hes a great player. Hes going to compete four quarters. Typical training you get from Alabama. Hes been leaving everything out there on the line.The Raiders will have their hands full with Jones, assuming he isnt slowed by an ankle injury. Oakland was picked apart in the opener by Willie Snead, Brandin Cooks and the Saints, allowing Drew Brees to throw for 423 yards.Jones is even better than those receivers, who had 1,871 yards receiving last season for the second-best total in NFL history.Hes big. Hes fast. Hes strong, Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said. Hes good with the ball in his hands. Hes become a much better route runner. I think when he first came in, he was a little raw in that regard, but man, hes become a really good route runner as well.Here are some other things to watch when the Falcons visit the Raiders:NO SACKS: The lack of a pass rush has been a constant theme for the Falcons for years. Atlanta finished last in the league with only 19 sacks in 2015, the lowest total by the franchise since 1987 and the lowest by any team since Jacksonville recorded just 14 sacks in 2009, according to Pro Football Reference. They were held without a sack by Tampa Bay, leading to renewed questions about the chronic weak spot in the defense. The Raiders did not allow a sack in the opener.LONG ROAD: Atlantas home opening loss to Tampa Bay was painful because it was a division game. It also hurts because the team faces a challenging stretch of four road games in the next five weeks. Three of the four road games are against AFC or NFC West teams. The only home game in that stretch is against defending NFC champion Carolina.Honestly, youve just got to go with it, coach Dan Quinn said. You try not to look too far down into the future, it can kind of take away from your focus for right now.MACK ATTACK: Raiders star edge rusher Khalil Mack struggled to get to the quarterback in the opener against New Orleans as the Saints frequently used extra blockers to neutralize one of the games best defenders. The Falcons figure to use a similar strategy against a player who was a first-team All Pro at two positions last season when he had 15 sacks.I think people have to do that, Del Rio said. When youre doing that then theyre short other places and we have to make sure were taking advantage of that.REUNION WEEK: The game will serve as a reunion of sorts for a quartet of former Seahawks, who helped Seattle win the Super Bowl following the 2013 season. Quinn was defensive coordinator for that team and had Raiders defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. as one of his assistants and Oakland linebackers Malcolm Smith and Bruce Irvin on the field. Smith even won the MVP in the win over Denver.Lots of respect for those guys, Quinn said. Im looking forward to seeing all of them. I had a lot of fun with Kenny and Malcolm and Bruce, both in coaching and then just for those guys as teammates and being a part of it.DOWN IN THE DIRT: This will be the only game this season played with the dirt infield at the Coliseum. The Raiders are the only NFL team to share a stadium with a baseball team and they dont get to install the all-grass field until the Athletics season is done. With the As out of the playoff race, the dirt will be gone when the Raiders return for their next home game Oct. 9 against San Diego.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---AP Sports Writer Charles Odum in Atlanta contributed to this report.

When Alastair Cook and Ben Duckett strode into tea on 100 without loss it appeared England had given themselves the ideal base to push for a target of 273 in Mirpur. But the game changed the first ball after the interval and less than two hours later Bangladesh were celebrating a famous victory. Relive how ESPNcricinfos ball-by-ball commentary recorded Englands dramatic collapse.23.1 Mehedi Hasan Miraz to Duckett, OUT, skids through and Duckett is gone first ball! Stunning riposte from Mehedi, pushes through quicker, Duckett was playing for turn but was trapped on the back foot and in no position to save his stumps from being splattered!24.1 Shakib Al Hasan to Root, OUT, tossed up, nailed on the shin, and thats out! Root was non-committal on the front foot, he thinks for a moment then shakes his head and trots off to his death-bed. Should he have fronted up so soon after his illness? Its academic now ...31.2 Mehedi Hasan Miraz to Ballance, OUT, good grief, that is awful! A filthy long-hop, Ballance panicked himself into an aggressive response, and spanged a horrible leading edge high to mid-off! He traipses off in disgust, and Bangladesh have prised another opening!31.6 Mehedi Hasan Miraz to Ali, OUT, on the front foot, doesnt spin, spanks the pad and up goes the finger! Moeen reviews but this looked plumb to the naked eye. Halfway up the front foot, and no inside edge. Hitting leg and England are in strife once more!33.5 Mehedi Hasan Miraz to Cook, OUT, off the face of the bat and pocketed at silly point! That was a snaffle worthy of Eknath Solkar, just watching like a hawk as Cook loomed forward and keeping his hands soft on impact. AAmazing scenes, and that is ten in the match for Mehedi!37.dddddddddddd Mehedi Hasan Miraz to Bairstow, OUT, big inside edge, loops to leg slip for a dolly of a catch! Was a straight delivery, which gripped and turned to take the inside edge. Then flew off the pad for an easy catch. Another five-for for Mehedi42.3 Shakib Al Hasan to Stokes, OUT, done it! Shakib gets past Stokes outside edge with a straight delivery into off stump. Stokes goes down on his knees and Shakib brings out the salute celebration! Stokes just seemed to play down the wrong line. Straighter deliveries on this surface, offering so much, are dangerous42.4 Shakib Al Hasan to Rashid, OUT, first ball! With a ripper. This is quite full, Rashid is playing back, gets completely squared up. Hits the back leg. But he reviews. Has it pitched in line with leg stump? Thats the only question. Waiting for the graphics. Pitches in line. All over!42.6 Shakib Al Hasan to Ansari, OUT, three in four balls! Amazing scenes in Dhaka! Ansari flicks the ball off his pads and its grabbed by short leg, one of three men catching on the leg side. Actually, its even more amazing. Its a bobble from Mominul at short leg which is grabbed on the rebound by Imrul who is next to him45.3 Mehedi Hasan Miraz to Finn, OUT, its all over! Finn flicks across the line, gets taken on the back leg and Dharmasena raises the finger for one last time in this series. He was going to ask for a review, but England have none left. Mehedi finishes with 12 in the match, what a performance. ' ' '
