Welcome to Sportstar\u2019s LIVE coverage of the historic one-off Test between England and India being played at Lord\u2019s in London.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

DAY 3 REPORT<\/h4>\n

It was just one run. It was much more than one run.<\/p>\n

Yastika Bhatia gently drove Issy Wong to extra cover, ran for a single, raised her fisted left hand. She then removed her helmet, kissed it, knelt down, kissed the ground, made a prayer looking towards the sun, and raised her bat. The crowd, not a particularly big one, applauded.<\/p>\n

Yastika has played some gorgeous shots to all parts of a cricket ground, but this was one run she will never forget. It was the run that took her to the Lord\u2019s honours board.<\/p>\n

The elegant left-hander from Vadodara became the first woman ever to make it to that prestigious board for scoring a Test hundred (113, 158b, 14×4). That was just a day after her teammate Kranti Gaud became the first woman to make it, for her five-wicket haul in the historic first Women\u2019s Test at cricket\u2019s most iconic venue.<\/p>\n

This was Yastika\u2019s day. She made it India\u2019s day, too. This is very much India\u2019s match now.<\/p>\n

Harmanpreet Kaur\u2019s side needs just four more wickets. England, chasing an improbable 457, finished the third day at 130 for six.<\/p>\n

India had declared at 341 for seven, and an early tea was taken.<\/p>\n

Earlier, India resumed at 154 for one with two stylish left-handers at the wicket. Smriti Mandhana (70, 130b, 9×4, 1×6), however, didn\u2019t last long; she tried to glance Lauren Bell fine and was beautifully caught one-handed behind by a diving Amy Jones.<\/p>\n

Bell then bowled Jemimah Rodrigues through the gate. Yastika, at the end, was looking sublime after a bizarre start to the day, when Bell\u2019s first ball hit the off-stump but the bails refused to budge. Off the next ball, however, she scored a boundary through a flowing drive. She also pulled with panache, and stepped out with authority.<\/p>\n

Richa Ghosh, the fellow wicketkeeper, then struck a 52-ball 50 not out (8×4) before India declared. Sophie Ecclestone also reserved a place on the honours board with figures of five for 118.<\/p>\n

The English batters struggled against the sharp Indian attack yet again. Both the openers walked back towards Lord\u2019s famous long room within three overs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then Kranti struck again. She accounted for Heather Knight, in her last Test innings, before Sneh Rana removed Nat Sciver-Brunt.<\/p>\n

Jones (52 batting, 72b, 6×4) and Mady Villiers (26) ensured there would be a fourth day after all with their sixth-wicket stand of 67.<\/p>\n
