McLaren racing director Eric Boullier says his team is finding performance at a faster rate than the biggest teams in Formula One after slowly working its way up the grid this year.Although McLaren is only seventh in the constructors championship this season, it has significantly improved on last year and is now a regular contender for Q3 in qualifying. Neither driver has qualified within a second of pole position this year but, as a trend, the gap to the pole as a percentage has narrowed as the season has progressed, especially at non-power dependent tracks (see sidebar). McLarens race pace has also improved, with points finishes at three of the last four races.We are pleased, if I may say this, to catch up on the big teams, to out-develop the big teams, Boullier said in a video on the McLaren website. That means the momentum behind it is working and that means what you are doing is delivering.We just want to do the best job we can to continue to do this until the end of the season while we are developing for 2017 as well.Boullier said McLaren can also boast a high hit rate in how well new parts perform in simulation and how they perform on track.Another great performance of the team is having, now, a nearly 95 percent correlation level between what we can simulate, produce, manufacturer and deliver to the track and race, which is amazing.Randal Grichuk Blue Jays Jersey . That left plenty of energy for pitching books and swatting away free agency questions. Anthony had 24 points and nine rebounds, and the Knicks avenged an embarrassing home loss with a rout of their own, beating the Boston Celtics 114-88 on Wednesday night for their third straight victory. Jack Morris Jersey . It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing. Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days. http://www.bluejaysonline.com/blue-jays-freddy-galvis-jersey/ .

Stuart has got a bit of a foot problem, confirmed Anderson. Hes been a bit in the wars - hes got a graze on his arm as well, so hes nursing those.I thought he did really well to get through the day. We dont know how serious his foot is but he ran in really well and hopefully hell be fresh for us in the morning. The best of the action from Day One of the second Test in Visakhapatnam Assessing his own fitness, Anderson, who was recalled in place of Chris Woakes, told Sky Sports Ian Ward: The body feels alright so far. It might be a different story at 7am. I got through the day without any drama and hopefully I will have a good nights sleep and come back fresh tomorrow.I think it probably took me a little bit of time to get into the spells because of a bit of stiffness but once I did I felt fine. Anderson broke a 226-run stand for the third wicket by dismissing Cheteshwar Pujara for 119 but India skipper Virat Kohli was unbeaten on 151 at stumps.There isnt a lot in the surface; its pretty flat, reflected Anderson. Theres a little bit of uneven bounce maybe at times but if you get yourself set as a batsman then you can bat for a long time on it.ddddddddddddWe were undecided whether to take the new ball because there has been a big dew in the morning on the last few days here but we felt that two or four overs would be a good option and I was lucky to get the wicket there.When you lose the toss on the first day of a Test match, we always try to stay under three runs an over - conceding 270 in a day is a pretty good effort, especially on a pitch like this, but I think they got 40-50 too many today. Ian Ward and Michael Atherton pay tribute to the class of Virat Kohli We didnt bowl as well as we would have liked but we stuck at it really well in the field. Four down isnt the worse result for us and hopefully well have a good day tomorrow.I think there were more signs today here than in Rajkot that the pitch is going to fall apart.It did reverse a bit; the Pujara wicket came on the back of a bit of reverse swing but there isnt a huge amount. The outfield and the square is quite lush - there is nothing to get the ball into the condition that you need.Watch highlights of day one of the second Test between India and England on Sky Sports 2 from 2pm, then stay tuned for The Verdict at 3pm on the same channel.
