5:30 PM IST, 1 PM Local Time: That will be Lunch on Day One of this Historic Test match. We have to say it was a balanced session as both sides won't be too unhappy with how things panned out in the morning session. England managed to pick up three wickets and restrict India to 122/3 at the end of 25 overs. A good round of applause from the fans as the players walk off the field.
England won the toss and opted to bowl first in this historic Test match. Lauren Filer dismissed Shafali Verma on a duck in the second over. Smriti Mandhana was joined by Yastika Bhatia who didn’t look at her fluent best before getting cleaned up on 12 by Lauren Bell in the seventh over.
Jemimah Rodrigues joined Mandhana and both led the recovery work for the visitors. Mandhana played some beautiful strokes and kept scoring at a very good rate. She received good support from Jemimah as the stand grew past 50. Mandhana brought up a fine run-a-ball fifty.
England struggled to keep a check on the scoring rate as India brought up their 100 in the 19th over. Issy Wong broke the 64-run stand as Jemimah chopped one back onto the sticks to fall on 35. In walked skipper Harmanpreet Kaur at number five.
The hosts managed to stem the run flow at the back end of the morning session. Mandhana and Harmanpreet remained unbeaten on 56 and 14 respectively as India ended the morning session on 122/3. Both the Indian batters will be looking to bat long. England, meanwhile, will be hoping to break this stand quickly and pull things back post the lunch break. Do join us in around 40 minutes for the post-lunch session.
