England spinner Sophie Ecclestone has become the first English woman to be named on the Lord's honours board, achieving the milestone by taking a five-wicket haul during the one-off Test against India. The feat, recorded on day three of the match, marks a notable moment in women's cricket, as the honours board recognition has long been a celebrated distinction at the famous ground.

Ecclestone claimed her five wickets during India's second innings, using her spin bowling to considerable effect. The achievement came in the England v India women's Test at Lord's, with the match still ongoing at the time of reporting.
