England thrashed by India in women's Test at Lord's as tourists record 270-run victory on day four

England crashed to a second heavy defeat at Lord's in a little over a week with India needing just over 90 minutes on the final day of the historic first women's Test at the ground to wrap up a 270-run victory.

Eight days on from their seven-wicket loss to Australia in the Women's T20 World Cup final, England were bundled out for 186 in their second innings after being set a record 457.

Sophie Ecclestone (50), who was dropped on eight and 16 and successfully overturned an lbw dismissal on 44 by dint of an edge, offered up resilience and some crisp cover drives during her maiden international fifty, before she was last out, bowled through the gate by a beauty from off-spinner Sneh Rana (4-42).

The hosts had resumed on 130-6, with Tammy Beaumont (0) and Heather Knight (13) among those out the previous evening as the pair played their final innings before international retirement.

Amy Jones (54) hacked Rana to midwicket in the third over of the day, adding only two runs to her overnight score, before Issy Wong (1) and Lauren Bell (0) were castled by Deepti Sharma (2-36).

Rana then had the final say as India polished things off in front of the legendary Sachin Tendulkar.
