Scorecard
Virender Sehwag [Images] and Rahul Dravid [Images] missed a golden chance of breaking the 50-year world record for the opening wicket partnership by four runs on the fifth and final day of the first Test against Pakistan in Lahore [Images] on Tuesday.
The Indian opening pair had put on 410 runs when Sehwag was dismissed for 254, caught behind by wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal off medium pacer Rana Naved-ul Hasan.
The world record stands in the name of India's Vinoo Mankad and Pankaj Roy who made 413 runs against New Zealand [Images] in Chennai in 1955-56.
Only two overs were possible before Dravid and new batsman V V S Laxman [Images] took the light and walked back to the pavilion.
India had resumed at 403 for no loss on a weather-hit day which saw the entire morning session being ruined.
