India openers near world record 1/2
Virender Sehwag and Rahul Dravid were
closing in on the world record opening
partnership in the first Test against
Pakistan before bad light stopped play.
The current Test record stands at 413,
set by India's Vinoo Mankad and Pankaj
Roy against New Zealand in 1955-56.
Sehwag (247) and Dravid (128) had
advanced to 403-0 at the close on day
four of the first Test, needing to
reach 480 to avoid the follow-on.
Sehwag hit the second fastest double
century in Test history in 182 balls.
