The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
The lazy narrative would make Bhatia’s record the whole story, while another would treat England’s target as an impossible task. Neither is useful. A Test can turn quickly, and one day remains. The real measure is simple: do India take England’s remaining wickets, or can England bat through the final day and force a draw?
