India in action.First Test:Day 2

Hi!
Today was the second day of the second test of the Royal Stag Cup between India and Zimbabwe.The 2nd day did not prove to be useful for the batsmen as 2 of the Indian batsmen missed their centuries by 2 and 3 runs.
Just in the beginning of the day Gambhir missed his century by 3 runs when he was caught behind by Taibu on a ball by Mahwire.Sir Dravid brought up his 50.Wickets kept on falling for India.Laxman went on 8.He was declared lbw on a ball by Streak.Then Mwayenga took his 1st test wicket when Sourav Ganguly was caught behind by Taibu on a ball by him.He went for 16.Yuvraj Singh went for 25,Karthik for 1.Both of these wickets were taken by Streak.Sir Dravid was getting closer and closer to his 21st century in test cricket.But,unfortunately he got out on 98.He was bowled by Mahwire.But still his efforts should be appreciated by us.Pathan went for 32,Kumble went for 8 and Zaheer Khan for 2.Harbhajan Singh remained not out on 14.India were all out on 336.India were leading by 205 runs.
Streak's bowling figures were 6-73,bowling figures for Mahwire were 2-86,for Blignaut were 1-80,for Mwayenga were 1-79 and for Dabengwa were 1-35.
Zimbabwe had to cover a trail of 205 runs and make a good lead.But at stumps it seemed that they'll fail to do so.They lost very early wickets of Taylor who went for 4 and Duffin who went for 10.He was caught By Sir Dravid on a ball by Pathan.Ebrahim went for 4.He was caught by Yuvraj Singh on a ball by Zaheer Khan.Taibu went for 1 and Masakadza remained not out on 11.
Bowling figures for India were:Pathan 2-25,Zaheer Khan 2-9 and Harbhajan 0-2.At stumps,Zimbabwe were 39-4.
Though Sir Dravid missed his century by 2 runs.But it was he who slowly and steadily built up India's innings.He once again proved to be the saviour of the Indian cricket team.
