Hello and welcome to day two of the Women’s Test match from Lord’s. It’s Saturday and the sun is belting down its rays on St John’s Wood.
England will start the day on 21-1 trailing India by 264 runs after an action packed and historic first day. Mady Villiers has just been talking through her wonderful wicket of Harmanpreet Kaur which was a great moment on the stroke of tea, the big dog bowled through the gate and up the hill from the Test debutant. Scenes.
Spin played a big role on day one, with Sophie Ecclestone and Villiers sharing five wickets between them and the former becoming England’s highest wicket-taker across formats. Despite all that the late wicket of Tammy Beaumont probably shaded the day in the visitors favour despite stumbling from 190-3 to 285 all out in the afternoon.
The crowd are streaming in for what should be a cracking day of cricket, the home side need to bat and bat and bat some more. Play starts at 11am. Join us!
