India's Rahul Dravid now holds the record of scoring more runs than any other batsman in fourth innings of a Test match.

At the end of fourth day's play in the Lord's Test, Dravid has aggregated 1468 runs in fourth innings of Tests at an average of 44.48. This takes him ahead of Brian Lara, who had a tally of 1,440 runs in the fourth innings of Tests.

Interestingly Dravid's average shoots up to 72.78 in successful fourth innings chases and matches where India earned a draw while batting last. India will need Dravid to play another memorable knock to bail them out today. Can he do this one more time?
