Historic Defeat for England in Women's Test Against India

India's Deepti Sharma records best figures by an Indian spinner in a women's Test, contributing to England's loss by a record margin.

  • England suffered one of their worst Test defeats in history against India, losing by 347 runs, the highest ever margin in a women's Test.
  • Deepti Sharma took nine wickets for 39 runs, the best figures ever recorded by an Indian spinner in a women's Test.
  • England's batters failed to dig in, with the team all out for just 131 runs in the second innings.
  • The defeat raises questions about England's progress under coach Jon Lewis, following a T20 series loss against Sri Lanka in September.
  • India's victory comes ahead of another Test against Australia, starting on 21 December.
