India’s one-off Women’s Test against England is firmly in India’s control after pacer Kranti Gaud takes a five-wicket haul at Lord’s. In England’s first innings, England are bowled out for 170, with Gaud becoming the first woman to have her name on the Lord’s honours board for a Test five-for. Multiple reports describe her figures as five-for 37 (with another outlet noting five-for 37 specifically and highlighting her match impact on day two). India’s batters then build on the advantage, with India posting 285 in the first innings and continuing to score at the close of play. Smriti Mandhana makes a half-century as India reaches 154 for one at stumps, taking an overall first-innings lead of 269 over England. Gaud’s achievement is also highlighted as a historic milestone, with her being noted as the first woman to take a Test five-for at Lord’s and for her rapid rise after overcoming personal and social barriers to pursue cricket.
