India Women Post 285 at Lord's in Historic First Women's Test at the Ground
Times of India·Saturday, 11 July 2026
India posted 285 runs on the opening day of the first-ever women's Test match at Lord's, with Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur, and Deepti Sharma all scoring half-centuries. England's spinners caused a late collapse before stumps. The hosts then lost an early wicket, finishing the day at 21/1 — still 264 runs behind.
Why It Matters
This is a landmark moment for women's cricket — Lord's hosting a women's Test for the first time is historic, and India's strong batting performance puts them in a commanding position.
