India has a brilliant record against England in Tests. In 16 encounters, India has three wins and a solitary loss, while the others were all drawn. Their most recent clash was at the D.Y. Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai in 2023. India marched to a massive 347-run triumph then. England\u2019s last win against India came in 1995.<\/p>\n<p>Red-ball fixtures are few and far between in the women\u2019s game. England and Australia are the ecosystem\u2019s most active participants. India has been an enthusiastic follower, with South Africa too slowly hopping on board. The costs of staging Tests make this a tier too high for everyone else. Even a board like New Zealand, one of the game\u2019s old powers, has been vocal about its disinterest in the format for women.<\/p>\n<p>So, how this Test, staged on one of the game\u2019s grandest stages, slots into cricket\u2019s rhetoric, and whether larger questions about the format\u2019s relevance in the women\u2019s game will be answered, are things to watch.<\/p>\n<p>But this Lord\u2019s Test will be what it has been fashioned to be: historic. It is another major cultural and societal barrier broken. With record audiences expected and two hurting sides looking to sign off from a challenging international summer on a high, it remains to be seen whether this spectacle can prove to be the catalyst the ecosystem\u2019s red-ball ambitions are crying out for.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"sub_head\">SQUADS<\/h4>\n<p><b>India:<\/b> Harmanpreet Kaur (Capt.), Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Varma, Yastika Bhatia, Jemimah Rodrigues, Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh, Shree Charani, Nandni Sharma, Harleen Deol, Sneh Rana, Renuka Singh, Kranti Gaud, Sayali Satghare and Priya Punia.<\/p>\n<p><b>England:<\/b> Nat Sciver-Brunt (Capt.), Tammy Beaumont, Lauren Bell, Maia Bouchier, Alice Capsey, Tilly Corteen-Coleman, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Filer, Amy Jones, Heather Knight, Emma Lamb, Grace Potts, Ellie Threlkeld, Mady Villiers and Issy Wong.<\/p>\n<p class=\"publish-time\" id=\"end-of-article\">Published on Jul 10, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/england-vs-india-women-test-live-score-lords-ind-w-highlights-updates\/article71205903.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TOSS England has won the toss and opts to bowl first.
