NEW DELHI: England's James Anderson won the duel when Rahul Dravid chased a away going ball to hand a catch to Matt Prior on Day 5 of the first Test at Lord's.
Scorecard | Hawk-eye
There was just a lapse of concentration on the part of Dravid, as he fished at a ball going away from him to give a simple catch to England's wicketkeeper.
However, the onus is now on Indian batsmen to save the first Test on Day 5 after England set a formidable target of 458 for the visitors.
India, at the close of the fourth day, were 80 for one in their second innings. They need a further 378 in a minimum of 98 overs on Monday's final day to reach their victory target - a run-rate of 3.85 an over.
This is the 2,000th Test of all-time and no side has ever scored more in the fourth innings to win a match than the West Indies' 418 for seven against Australia in Antigua in 2002/03.
Dravid, who made 103 not out in India's first innings, was unbeaten on 34 having opened in place of Gautam Gambhir who was injured fielding at short leg earlier in the day, at stumps.
Laxman was 32 not out, with the experienced duo's stand so far worth 61.
Prior, who came in with England having collapsed to 62 for five, said: "I think we're probably just ahead."
It was Prior's sixth century in 44 Tests and second in as many at Lord's following his 126 against Sri Lanka last month.
Stuart Broad, who'd led England's attack with four for 37 in India's first innings, gave Prior excellent support in an unbroken seventh-wicket stand of 162 at nearly a run-a-ball as India's depleted attack toiled on a sunny day.
Broad, who bats left-handed but bowls right, demonstrated his all-round ability with a fluent 74 not out off 90 balls including nine fours.
