Dravid helps India wrest control of 2nd Test
Indian skipper Rahul Dravid came within three runs of his second successive century in the series to frustrate Pakistan in the second Test at the Iqbal stadium on Monday.
Dravid was unbeaten on 97 during a stubborn second-wicket stand with Venkatsai Laxman (83 not out) as India reached 227-1 at lunch on the third day in reply to Pakistan’s first-innings total of 588.
The tourists now need 162 to avoid the follow-on with nine wickets in hand on a dead wicket that is proving a nightmare for bowlers.
Dravid and Laxman, who resumed on 110-1, blunted Pakistan’s pace and spin attack to put on 188 for the unbroken second wicket.
