day. </p> <p>But once he had gone, the lower order was swept away by Martin and Iain O'Brien (2-66), with the last five wickets going down for just 59 runs. </p> <p>Laxman, who hit 14 fours in his three and a quarter hour innings, was eighth to go, edging a ball from Martin to Tim McIntosh at second slip. </p> <p>The same combination had earlier accounted for Yuvraj Singh, Martin's 150th Test victim, for a duck and he also removed Dinesh Karthik for eight with the help of Ryder's catch at third slip. </p> <p>Harbhajan Singh struck a six and two fours in his 18 off 11 balls but he and Zaheer Khan well to successive balls from O'Brien as the innings came to a swift end. </p> <p>O'Brien was on a hat-trick when he was given the new ball in India's second innings but he was foiled by Sehwag who despatched it past mid-on for four. </p> <p>The opener later missed an attempted sweep off Patel, however, left the umpire with an easy decision, but Gautam Gambhir (14) and Dravid (11) prevented further damage before the close. </p> <p>Afterwards, Laxman insisted that despite still trailing by 267 runs, India felt positive about the position they were in. </p> <p>"We have done some amazing things in the past and we take a lot of confidence from that," he said. </p> <p>"We are all looking forward to the next two days and I'm quite confident that we'll do something special." </p>
