England move toward a likely defeat in the historic Women’s Test at Lord’s against India after closing day with 130 for 6 in their record chase of 457. Heather Knight and Tammy Beaumont both get out cheaply in their respective final knocks before retiring from international cricket, reducing England’s chances of reaching the target. The match features England attempting the highest chase in Women’s Test cricket history, with India setting a total of 457. With six wickets down at stumps, England still require 327 runs from the remaining innings to win, placing the contest firmly in India’s favour. Multiple outlets report that the dismissals of Knight and Beaumont leave England struggling to build partnerships as the chase continues. The final result depends on England’s performance in the next session and whether they can recover from early setbacks while facing India’s bowling attack.
