the second cricket Test here on Tuesday.

India added 43 runs to their overnight score of 128-8 before being dismissed for 171 an hour after the start.

Venkatsai Laxman hit 33 of those runs before he was last man out for a defiant 59, studded with 12 boundaries.

Glenn McGrath, who trapped Venkatapathy Raju leg-before in the day's second over, finished with superb figures of 4-18 from 14 overs.
