# Bhatia century puts India on brink of historic Lord’s win 2026-08-06T14:56:06+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Yastika Bhatia became the first woman to score a Test century at Lord’s as India set England a target of 427. India are now close to a historic victory, with one day of play remaining. The result will depend on whether England can survive the final day’s pressure and deny India the win. Cricinfo reports that India’s seamers have also put the team in a strong position. The match has therefore reached its decisive stage, with England needing to chase 427 or hold out for a draw. Bhatia’s record century has given India the defining individual performance of the contest so far. ## Coverage - cricinfo.com Tags: Cricket, England, India, Lord’s, women's cricket Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bhatia-century-puts-india-on-brink-of-historic-lords-win/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
