India completed a crushing 270-run victory over England in the historic women's Test match at Lord's. The match, which celebrated the pioneers of women's cricket, saw Yastika Bhatia score a century and pose for selfies on the boundary as players slowly filtered towards the Long Room doors.
A Landmark Occasion
The Test marked the first time women's cricket was played at Lord's, the home of cricket. The occasion was described as wonderful and moving, with proper honors paid to those who came before. However, the bigger questions of what to do with women's red-ball cricket and how to give it a proper place in the calendar loiter in the wings, according to reports.
Fitting Farewell for England Legends
Though the occasion didn't finish as England had hoped, it was fitting for fantastic cricketers Heather Knight and Tammy Beaumont to step away this week with another bastion in their back pocket. The game moves on, and the wheels turn.
Thanks for all the messages throughout the Test, goodbye!
