SPORT IND LD LUNCH 2 LAST

Sehwag faced 61 balls during his quick knock of 56 which
was studded with seven fours.
Gambhir, who resumed the day on 26, caught up with his
senior opening partner with a flurry of fours, including two
consecutive boundaries off Shahadat in the fifth over of the
morning. He reached to his 11th fifty in 60 balls with help of
nine fours.
The left-hander, however, failed to equal Don Bradman's
six consecutive Test centuries record from as many matches
although he levelled with Vivian Richards record of 11
fifty-plus knocks from as many successive Tests.
Gambhir failed to negotiate a Shafiul Islam bouncer and
the resulting edge was easily collected by Rahim behind the
stumps half an hour before the lunch. His 68 came from 83
deliveries.
Veteran Rahul Dravid, who came in at the fall of Sehwag,
survived a close run out call while on nine after the third
umpire ruled that he was not out.
As luck would have it, three overs before lunch, Dravid
was brilliantly caught at the first slip by Junaid Siddique
off Rubel Hossain but umpire Billy Bowden ruled the delivery a
no ball. PTI
