Milestone
It was quite amusing that Lord's, the 'Home of Cricket' took 142 years to welcome the cricketing queens in whites. Well, better late than never. The two team that graced this occasion, England and India gifted us a Test match to remember. There was nothing ordinary in their approach and it awakened a new era of Women's cricket where one would hope that Test matches become more of a regular affair.
On the batting front we saw twin fifties from the likes of Smriti Mandhana and Amy Jones. Yastika Bhatia notched up a stunning hundred. On the bowling front, we saw Kranti Gaud and Sophie Ecclestone pick up memorable fifers.
India's next assignment comes in the shortest format of our sport as the 'women in blue' take part in the Asian Games slated to be held in September. England, on the other hand, will welcome neighbours Ireland over for a 3-match ODI series in September.
On this note, I, Manan Mehta would like to take your leave on behalf of my colleagues Pritam Dey, Ghanendra Singh Thakur and Aman. CIAO!

While it has been a heavy defeat for England in this historic Test match, it's also a day to acknowledge the end of two remarkable international careers. Heather Knight and Tammy Beaumont have brought the curtain down on their distinguished journeys in England colours.
