Kranti Gaud achieved a historic five-wicket haul at Lord’s, becoming the first woman on the honours board. Her exceptional bowling performance helped India dismiss England for a mere 170 runs. India’s batters then built a significant lead, with Smriti Mandhana scoring another half-century. The team extended their advantage to 269 runs by the close of play. This remarkable achievement occurred before a record-breaking crowd for a Women’s Test.
