Kranti Gaud came wearing dark glasses. And she just couldn\u2019t stop smiling.<\/p>\n

It was obvious she was still living that dream. She had become the first woman to go on the Test honours board at Lord\u2019s.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her devastating spell of five for 37 had given India control of the Test match on the second day. England had no answer to pace and unwavering length.<\/p>\n

Before the Test match, she had spoken of how excited she was at getting the opportunity to play at Lord\u2019s and about making it to the honours board. She did even better. She became the first ever woman to do it (no bowler took five wickets before her, no one scored a hundred).<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very proud to be the first woman to get my name on the Lord\u2019s honours boards,\u201d Kranti said. \u201cIt is a proud moment for my family, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though all her five wickets were special, the one of the England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt was even more so. \u201cThe captain\u2019s wicket after lunch was the most special; we were finding it difficult to make inroads,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Was she tense when she saw Sneh Rana drop the catch from Sophie Ecclestone before Shafali Verma completed it?<\/p>\n

She laughed while talking about that unforgettable fifth wicket. \u201cSneh really put in a lot of effort to take the catch, but when she couldn\u2019t hold on to it, Shafali gave it her 100 per cent,\u201d Kranti said. \u201cI lost sight of the ball, but then it looked like Shafali had taken the catch. I was about to celebrate my five-wicket haul, but my teammates told me to wait for the replay and the decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

England\u2019s wicketkeeper Amy Jones, who top-scored for England with a counterattacking 52, praised Kranti\u2019s spell. \u201cShe had nip and she was a handful,\u201d she said. \u201cLuckily, I didn\u2019t have to face her much.\u201d<\/p>\n
