Gautam Gambhir and Rahul Dravid put on a record 314-run partnership before spinner Graeme Swann led an England fightback in the second test on Saturday. Opener Gautam Gambhir top-scored with 179 and Dravid stroked 136 for his 26th test hundred, notching India's highest second wicket partnership against England on day two of the final test. India were 453 all out in the final session, losing the last nine wickets for 133 runs following a post-lunch collapse. England openers Andrew Strauss and Alastair Cook walked out to face nine overs left in the day, but play was called off due to bad light. Swann, playing only his second test, triggered the slump by dismissing both set batsmen. He took three wickets for 10 runs in the afternoon, returning three for 122. All-rounder Andrew Flintoff took three for 54. Swann had Gambhir and Dravid caught and trapped Sachin Tendulkar (11) in front before Flintoff removed Vangipurappu Laxman for nought, going on to add two tailenders to his tally. Dravid struck 19 fours in his 328-ball effort while left-hander Gambhir, who reached his fourth test hundred overnight, hit 25 fours and a six.
