Only Test, Lord's, Day 2: Kranti Gaud became the first woman on the Lord’s honours board with a five-wicket haul as India spoiled England’s homecoming party on Day 2 of the Lord’s Test. A record crowd saw England wilt in the heat for the second consecutive weekend in St John’s Wood, before Heather Knight announced her retirement after play. Daniel Norcross joins Geoff Lemon.
