Dravid finds his touch for Scotland

Rahul Dravid struck an effortless unbeaten 120 for Scotland at Taunton, but it wasn't enough to prevent Somerset winning a closely fought National League match by one wicket.

Dravid reached his half-century in 57 balls, and then raced to his hundred in another 34 deliveries, in an innings which included three sixes and 11 fours. "That is my best innings for a while," he admitted. "I started slowly but I'm very pleased. It's just a shame the result did not go our way."

He arrived with Scotland on 49 for 2 and entertained a large crowd with a classy performance. He gave just one chance, a hard catch to Keith Dutch at midwicket when he had 94, but that apart he hardly played a false stroke. He reached his hundred with a towering six in the penultimate over of the innings.

Dravid will be in action again on Tuesday when Scotland take on Middlesex in the unfamiliar surroundings of Richmond, a club ground which is, rather confusingly, in Surrey.
