Wicketkeeper-batter Yastika Bhatia became the first woman to score a Test century at Lord’s before India’s bowlers tightened their grip on the historic one-off Women’s Test against England on Sunday. Resuming the penultimate day with an overall lead of 269, India declared their second innings at 341/7 at the stroke of tea, setting England an improbable target of 457 in four sessions. In reply, England slumped to 130/6 at stumps with Amy Jones unbeaten on 52, leaving India just four wickets away from a memorable victory in the first-ever women’s Test at Lord’s.
Sayali Satghare and Kranti Gaud claimed two wickets apiece to put the visitors in complete control.
