Dravid was batting on 46 as the Indians reached 110 for one in their first innings, still 279 runs away from avoiding follow on. Accompanying Dravid at stumps on the second day was V V S Laxman, batting on 28.
 

Dravid's resolute knock came after his bowlers took a hammering from Afridi who recorded his career-best 156, his second successive century in the series.
 

Skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq was the other century maker for the hosts, as he battled a back trouble to register his 25th Test hundred of 119.
 

The Indian reposte began on a confident note before Virender Sehwag, who cracked a belligerent double hundred in the first Test, perished after a cameo 31.
 

But with the pitch at the Iqbal Stadium so lifeless as it was at the Gaddafi Stadium at Lahore, it was not beyond Dravid to steer his team clear of any early loss of wickets.
 

The flamboyant Afridi bludgeoned his way to his fifth century in 22 Tests and third against India.
 

Afridi slammed 20 fours and six sixes in his blistering 28-ball knock, his second ton in successive Tests against the visitors after his 80-ball 103 at Lahore in the drawn opening Test, to lead the run-charge on day two.
 

Afridi reached his century with a pulled six off left arm pacer Irfan Pathan in 96 balls.
 

Inzamam, who resumed his last evening's unbeaten innings after the fall of two wickets today, batted with a runner to make 119, hitting 12 fours and a huge on-driven six off Kumble after having faced 193 balls in his 251-minute essay.
 

Inzamam and Abdul Razzaq (37 in 90 balls) put on 40 runs before the latter chased a wide ball from Rudra Pratap and was caught behind off Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
