Rahul Dravid stepped up the tempo with a six off McGrath in the 31st over. The bowler was left shaking his head after Dravid, going for a pull, top-edged the ball high over the long leg fence. But it was Virendra Shewag who tore the bowling apart as he kept striking the ball as clean as a whistle, timing the strokes sweetly past the ropes eight times. He made 58 runs off 54 balls, helping Dravid add 100 runs for the fifth wicket in 16 overs. Shewag's knock came to an end when he was bowled off an inside edge by Fleming.
