Eoin Morgan believes strength of character is carrying England through a dramatic World Twenty20 after his side held their nerve against Sri Lanka to claim a semi-final spot. England are likely to face New Zealand in the last four after their third win in a row but, like their victories over South Africa and Afghanistan, this one could easily have gone the other way.Having posted a target of 172 thanks to Jos Buttler (66no) and Jason Roy (42), England reduced their opponents to 15 for four only for Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews to hit a classy half-century that got his side to within a couple of strikes of a shock reversal. Athers: Buttler unstoppable Michael Atherton says Jos Buttler is one of the most destructive players in the game Yet when the game reached its closing moments in Delhi, it was England who showed their steel.Chris Jordan turned in two brilliant overs at the death, taking three wickets for just 13 runs - with Joe Root taking a stunning catch off Dasun Shanaka that may have been the pivotal contribution. Stokes says the England players hard work has paid off after they booked their place in the semi-finals of the World T20 Sri Lanka still needed 15 off the last over and Ben Stokes was magnificent in the heat of the moment, giving up just four to rubber stamp a 10-run run.This gives us a great deal of confidence. I think in three of our wins weve had to show an immense amount of character, he said.This was completely different in the way we were way ahead of the game, had them four down quite early and then Angelo got them back into the game.It asked a completely different question of us. But we showed quite a lot, both with the bat and the ball. We showed we are capable of playing both smart cricket and aggressive cricket. Nasser Hussain reviews Englands 10-run win over Sri Lanka, helping them to reach the semi-finals of the ICC World T20 I think weve struggled to do that in the last six to eight months or so and its an area we are constantly trying to improve, but today went a long way to doing that.Morgan had no shortage of key moments to reflect on and was keen to spread the praise among all of those who stood tall at vital times.They were in the game right until the end so Stokes last over was as crucial as it gets, he said. The Verdict panel discuss bowling at the death after England advanced into semi-finals Rootys catch gave us a huge lift. Wickets are priceless at that stage of the game and given that it didnt allow the batsmen to cross was an even bigger benefit really.As well as Jos innings I thought Jason was outstanding as well. He showed great composure and when he wanted to take someone down he showed complete commitment.Well take a lot of confidence from the overall performance. We can give it a couple of days to let the dust settle, reflect on what happened and take the absolute beauties into the semi-final.

Parker had 26 points and eight assists and San Antonio beat Toronto 112-99 Monday night. "We won that game because of Tony Parkers aggressiveness," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "His juice; his aggression all night long. Oregons precipitous slide and Washingtons rise highlighted the opening half of the Pac-12 season. Colorado and Utah could shape the finish.The Ducks and the No. 5 Huskies had last week off but the last time they played it was against each other, and undefeated Washington romped 70-21 at Autzen Stadium. The victory ended Washingtons 12-game losing streak to rival Oregon.The game illustrated the rise of the Huskies, off to their best start (6-0, 3-0 Pac-12) since 1992, and the quick fall of the Ducks, who played for the national championship two seasons ago but have dropped four straight to sit at the bottom of the Pac-12 North (2-4, 0-3.).With a nine-game winning streak dating back to last season, the Huskies host Oregon State on Saturday. The Ducks will visit Cal on Friday night.Washington coach Chris Petersen said the task at hand now is keeping the players focused on the next game -- and off the hype that comes with the undefeated start and the national ranking.It really is hard. With all the stuff outside, there are just so many outside influences. As much as you know, you probably still dont know how much is coming at these kids from all different directions with everybody. Human nature is what it is, Petersen said. Were foolish to think that doesnt have an effect on our team and our mindset. Thats one of the big battles that we have as a team, as a coaching staff, is to keep these guys focused on being focused.Depending on how the season shakes out, Washington could be the first North team besides Stanford or Oregon to play for the Pac-12 title since the league championship game was created in 2011.It could also be that the season-ending rivalry game between Washington and Washington State (which is also undefeated in conference play) in Pullman has some big-time implications.EXPANSION SUCCESS: Colorado and Utah, which joined the Pac-12 when it expanded in 2011, dont want to finish as footnotes again in the South this season. The Utes and Buffaloes sit atop the division standings with 3-1 records, ahead of USC with two losses.While Utah has seen a steady rise with its hard-nosed defensive play in recent years, the Utes have never made it to the Pac-12 championship game. After a 6-0 start last season, Utah was hurt by a 2/3 stretch.Colorado is the more dramatic upstart in the south at 5-2 and vying to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2007. The Buffaloes are coming off a 40-16 rout of Arizona State last weekend and head to Stanford on Saturday.Earlier this month, Colorado made its first appearance in the AP Top 25 since 2003. While the team has since dropped out, the Buffs are still getting enough vvotes to stay close.ddddddddddddOur goal is the Pac-12 championships, like everyone else in the Pac-12. Just the bowl game, that would be nice. That would be nice. But thats not what we want, thats below what we want, Colorado outside linebacker Jimmie Gilbert said. Our goal is to shoot for the stars. If we reach them, thats what we want. If not, we tried.If the two teams are able to keep winning, the Rumble in the Rockies could decide the Pac-12 South.QUARTERBACK WOES: This is the point in the year when injuries start taking a toll. This is especially apparent at Oregon State, which is down to its third-string quarterback, Marcus McMaryion, after injuries last weekend to starter Darell Garretson and backup Conor Blount.Its so bad that a member of the coaching staff, former Utah State quarterback Chuckie Keeton, is serving as the scout-team QB.Arizona finds itself in a similar position with quarterbacks Anu Solomon and Brandon Dawkins hurt.The Wildcats started 17-year-old freshman Khalil Tate at QB in a 48-14 loss to USC last week and when he struggled, they turned to third-string TE Matt Morin. He hadnt played QB since high school five years ago and just started practicing at the position in the last two weeks.I dont know what our quarterback situation is going forward, said Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez, who is looking forward to a much-needed bye this week. But weve got at least two weeks now to figure something out.WHO YA GONNA CALL?: Injuries at other positions have forced No. 19 Utah to get creative. The team was so thin at running back that the Utes coaxed Joe Williams out of retirement last week to help against Oregon State.Williams, who left the team after the second game of the season, ran for 179 yards and a touchdown in the Utes 19-14 victory over the Beavers.HEISMAN HOPEFULS: Just one name really sticks out in the Pac-12: Washington quarterback Jake Browning. The sophomore has thrown for 1,418 yards and 23 touchdowns, with a 72.2 percent completion rate. In the game against Oregon, he threw for six touchdowns and ran for two, matching the Pac-12 single-game record.Stanfords Christian McCaffrey, last seasons AP Player of the Year and the runner up for the Heisman Trophy, did not play last weekend against Notre Dame because of an injury. His status for the game against the Buffaloes is not yet known .McCaffrey is averaging 104 yards a game this season, ranked No. 24 in the nation.---AP Sports Writers John Marshall in Phoenix and Pat Graham in Denver contributed to this report.
