Only Test, Lord's, Day 3: India continued their ruthless march to a historic victory in the first-ever Women’s Test at the Home of Cricket, but the day will be remembered for another sabotage of a showpiece women’s game with news from the Men’s team. Yastika Bhatia will be the first woman’s name on the century's honours board, whilst Amy Jones provided the only substantial resistance as Tammy Beaumont and Heather Knight stepped off a cricket field as England players for the final time. Ffion Wynne joins Daniel Norcross.
