HOOVER, Ala. -- It took a few years for coach Bret Bielema and the Arkansas Razorbacks to gain their footing in the Southeastern Conference Western Division.But after an encouraging third season that ended with an 8-5 record, including 5-3 in the league, Bielemas hard-nosed, blue-collar vision is starting to become a reality in Fayetteville.At Arkansas were not built very sexy, were just kind of a work in progress, Bielema said. We need a lot of time in the bathroom to get ready and come out and look great.Bielemas easygoing demeanor during his fourth SEC media days appearance on Wednesday is a stark contrast to his first few, when his combative remarks often irritated other league coaches. There was no need to be combative on the podium this year: His team is doing a better job of handling that task on the field.But to keep the momentum moving forward, the Razorbacks are going to have to solve some uncertainty on offense.Arkansas lost experienced playmakers in quarterback Brandon Allen, running back Alex Collins and tight end Hunter Henry, as well as three starting offensive linemen. Allen will be replaced by his younger brother -- junior Austin Allen.Bielema said the brothers have some similarities, but also some key differences that the Razorbacks must harness.Hes got a little bit different demeanor, Bielema said of Austin Allen. Hes a very aggressive person by nature. I think well have to calm him down rather than juice him up. He throws a tremendous long ball and is a very, very intelligent player.Bielema has also been impressed with a pair of freshmen running backs -- Devwah Whaley and T.J. Hammonds -- who he believes are going to have a huge impact on this season.Arkansas has much more experience on defense with nine starters returning.Senior Deatrich Wise, a 6-foot-5, 272-pound defensive lineman, led the league with eight sacks during conference play last season. Senior Brooks Ellis, a 6-2, 246-pound linebacker, led the team with 102 tackles, which ranked ninth in the SEC.Hall said hes been impressed that its not just the nine returning starters who are playing well.We just have a lot of people coming in that are very strong and know what theyre doing and theyre going to make an impact for us, Hall said.Arkansas hopes to get off to a better start this season than in 2015. The Razorbacks lost three of their first four games before a 7-2 performance the rest of the year.Were getting really close to where we want to be, Bielema said.---Follow David Brandt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbrandtAP---AP College Football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org .

This win, though, was Pakistans first at Lords since 1996; in four Tests here between 2001 and 2010, they lost three times - twice to England and once to Australia.10 Wickets for Yasir Shah, his first ten-wicket haul in Tests; his previous best was 9 for 155, against Sri Lanka in Galle last year.8 The previous record for most wickets by a Pakistan bowler in a Lords Test: Waqar Younis took 8 for 154 in 1996, which was also the last time Pakistan won a Test here. Yasirs haul is also the second best by an overseas spinner at Lords, and only the seventh instance of a ten-for by any spinner here. The previous such instance was way back in 1974, when Derek Underwood took 13 for 71 against Pakistan.3 Tests England have lost, out of their last five at Lords: in 2014 they lost to India, while Australia beat them last year. In 24 previous Tests here between 2002 and 2013, England had a 13-3 win-loss record, losing twice to South Africa and once to Australia.86 Wickets for Yasir after 13 Tests, the most by any bowler at this stage of his career. The next best is Australias Charlie Turner, a right-arm fast bowler who played in the 1880s and 1890s, who had 81 wickets after 13.21 Instances of two bowllers taking a ten-for in the same Test - Yasir and Chris Woakes both achieved the feat here.dddddddddddd The last such instance was in 2008, in a Test between Sri Lanka and India in Galle.204 Balls faced by Woakes in this Test - 96 in the first innings and 108 in the second. Add his match haul of 11 for 102, and it makes him only the fourth player to take a ten-for and face 200-plus deliveries in a Test (in matches where balls-faced data is available). The others who have achieved it are Michael Bevan (1997, v West Indies), Chaminda Vaas (1995, v New Zealand) and Allan Border (1989, v West Indies). Woakes match figures of 11 for 102 are the fifth best for England in a defeat.7 Number of dismissals in the 40s in this Test: Joe Root, James Vince, Gary Ballance and Jonny Bairstow for England; and Mohammad Hafeez, Asad Shafiq and Sarfraz Ahmed for Pakistan. Only once in Test history have more batsmen been dismissed between 40 and 49: in an Ashes Test at Edgbaston in 1989, when eight batsmen fell in the 40s. There have only been three other Tests with seven dismissals in the 40s. Englands Nos. 4, 5 and 6 all fell in the 40s in their second innings, the third such instance for any team in Test history.
