One-off Test: Gaud Removes Beaumont As England Reach 21/1, Trail India By 264 Runs
Decision Review System: Medium-pacer Kranti Gaud struck an early blow to dismiss veteran opener Tammy Beaumont, who’s playing her final international game. But a resilient England managed to reach 21/1 in 11 overs at stumps and trail India by 264 runs on a highly competitive day one of the historic first-ever women's Test at Lord's on Friday.
After bowling out India for 285, England openers Maia Bouchier and Beaumont faced a testing 11-over spell from the Indian new-ball bowlers. Sayali Satghare opened the attack for India, starting with a no-ball, but quickly adjusted her line to test Maia with subtle away-movement.
The breakthrough came in the fourth over when Kranti delivered a superb, incoming back-of-a-length delivery that kept low. Tammy (2) was caught completely in the crease and trapped plumb in front. The veteran chose not to review, though it was eventually hitting stumps via the umpire’s call.
