England capitalised on the start of day three when their wicketkeeper executed a stunning diving catch to remove India's Smriti Mandhana, who had accumulated 70 runs. The dismissal denied the Indian opener the chance to complete a century, coming at a moment when she appeared positioned to reach that milestone.

The wicket, claimed by Lauren Bell, left India at 161 runs for the loss of two batters in their second innings at Lord's. The early breakthrough offered England momentum during a key phase of the match, with Jones's athletic fielding proving instrumental in restricting India's batting progression.
