After becoming the first Indian to hit four consecutive Test innings, Rahul Dravid looked forward to extending his golden run.

Dravid retired hurt on exactly 100, after suffering from cramp and dehydration. He hobbled to three figures, collapsed in pain and left the field soon after.

Dravid needs one more century to equal the record held by the great West Indian Everton Weekes, who made five in a row between March 1948 and January 1949.

"I want to make the most of my current form," Dravid said. "I'm happy to get a hundred in these conditions, and hope to maintain my form. I started to feel dehydrated before tea and when I drove to midwicket I felt cramps all over my legs. I was not keen to go for the second run, but Parthiv (Patel) pushed me to go for it.

"At no stage after that did I feel like resuming my innings, but I think I should be able to field tomorrow."
