Ecclestone Shines: England's New Wicket Queen at Lord's

Sophie Ecclestone becomes England's leading wicket-taker! India bowled out for 285 on day 1 of the Lord's Test. England trails by 264 at stumps.

Sophie Ecclestone achieved a significant milestone on the opening day of the first women's Test at Lord's, becoming England's all-time leading wicket-taker across all formats. Her impressive bowling display, which included cleaning up the tail, brought her wicket tally to 338 dismissals.

India was ultimately bowled out for 285 after a promising start. Opener Smriti Mandhana scored 83 runs, and captain Harmanpreet Kaur contributed a half-century. However, England's bowlers, including debutant Mady Villiers who took two wickets, regained authority in the later sessions.

England's batting faced an early setback with Tammy Beaumont dismissed for two. By the close of play, England had reached 21 for one after 11 overs, trailing India by 264 runs. Alice Capsey also made her Test debut for England.
