Yastika Bhatia first woman to score Lord's Test century as India run riot
- On Sunday, Yastika Bhatia became the first woman to score a Test century at the Lord's Cricket Ground, reaching three figures from 145 balls with 12 fours during the one-off match between India and England.
- India resumed play with a commanding lead after dismissing England for 170 in the first innings, with the visitors establishing a 365-run advantage by lunch on day three.
- Bhatia survived an early scare when Lauren Bell's delivery clipped the off-stump without dislodging the bails, then hit two consecutive fours off Issy Wong to reach 99 with no 'nervous 90s.'
- England faces a record-breaking challenge needing to chase more than Australia's 198 runs, the highest successful fourth-innings chase in women's Test history, while former captain Heather Knight and Tammy Beaumont prepare to retire after this match.
- Bhatia joined Indian men's cricket greats Vinoo Mankad, Dilip Vengsarkar, and Rahul Dravid by scoring a Test century at the 'Home of Cricket,' marking her highest Test score and first century in the longest format.
