India pacer Kranti Gaud takes a five-wicket haul in England’s first innings at Lord’s, becoming the first woman to claim a Test five-for at the ground. On day two, England are dismissed for 170 in their opening innings, with Gaud’s figures of six wickets for 45 runs reported by some outlets. The performance puts India in a strong position as the home side’s batting collapses. Earlier in the match, India batters post 285 in their first innings, establishing a first-innings lead. Several sources also note contributions from Indian batters Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur. Alongside the Lord’s milestone, reporting highlights that Gaud also becomes the youngest Indian woman fast bowler to record a Test five-wicket haul. BBC Sport describes her as entering the Lord’s Test honours board with the five-wicket performance. Across the reports, the central points are Gaud’s achievement at Lord’s and the impact it has on England’s first-innings total, while India’s batting establishes the basis for their advantage.
