What they're saying

"
Sneh Rana took two crucial wickets as India wrapped up a dominant 270-run victory over England in the first-ever women's test played at Lord's, the historic “home of cricket”, despite a stubborn half-century from Sophie Ecclestone. England resumed at 130-6 on Monday, the fourth and final day, with a distant target of 457, more than double any successful fourth-innings chase in women's test history. India needed just over an hour and a half to finish off the win, with Rana removing England’s top scorer Amy Jones on 54 before two wickets in quick succession from Deepti Sharma.
