Approaching the Don

Don't look now but VVS Laxman is within striking distance of Don Bradman's tally of Test runs. At tea on the 4th day, he is 21 runs from the greatest's mark of 6996 runs. During the course of this innings (51* at the time of writing) Laxman has leap-frogged Len Hutton (6971) and Sanath Jayasuriya (6973) to reach the 36th place in the all-time run-getters list.

Also, in his last 10 innings, Laxman has crossed the 50 run mark 7 times. His last 4 second inning scores have been 124*, 61, 51* and 51* 69*.

Solid. Rock solid.

Update: India declared with Laxman on 69* (6993 Test runs, 3 short of the Don)
