## Summary

England's captain Nat Sciver-Brunt was dismissed lbw for 44 as the hosts struggled in their first innings against India in the one-off women's Test at Lord's. Her wicket, falling in just the second over after lunch on day two, deepened England's difficulties and left the side under significant pressure against the tourists.

The dismissal reduced England to 142 for 6 in their first innings, representing a poor start to the afternoon session. Sciver-Brunt's departure was a notable blow given her role as captain and a key batter, with India tightening their grip on the contest. The match is being played at Lord's, with live coverage available to UK users via BBC Sport.
