BRISTOL, Jun 16: Spinners Sneh Rana and Deepti Sharma fashioned India’s comeback by triggering a batting collapse in the final session but England Women still managed a decent 269 for six on the opening day of the one-off Test here on Wednesday.
Playing a Test match after nearly seven years, India were struggling badly but Rana (3/77) and Sharma (2/50) brought the side back by accounting for two batters each in the final session.
From a comfortable 230 for 2, England were reeling at 251 for six as an old pitch being used for the match assisted the Indian spinners.
The Indian bowlers looked rusty and toiled hard for most part of the day before the spinners came to the party.
