England have it all to do to avoid defeat in the first women’s Test at Lord’s after being bowled out for 170 and ending the second day trailing a dominant India by 269 runs.
Kranti Gaud became the first woman to add her name to the Test honours board at Lord’s as she took five wickets for 37, cutting through England’s top order as the hosts were reduced to 47 for four before skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt and Amy Jones steadied the ship.
