INDW vs ENGW Test at Lord's: Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur created history with her 58-run innings in the Test match against England. No Indian cricketer before her had achieved this record.

Harmanpreet Kaur became the first Indian cricketer to do so.
A Test match is being played between India and England at Lord's. This is the first Test match played at this ground, and Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur has made history. She scored 58 runs in the first innings, becoming the first Indian cricketer to score a fifty in all three formats at Lord's.
No Indian, in either men's or women's cricket, has ever scored a half-century in all three formats at Lord's. Harmanpreet has made history by surpassing legends like Virat Kohli , Sachin Tendulkar, and Mithali Raj.
Harmanpreet Kaur had previously scored fifties at Lord's in ODIs and T20s. Now, she has achieved a historic feat by becoming the first woman to score a half-century in a Test match at Lord's.
In the first innings, captain Harmanpreet came in to bat when India had lost three wickets at 101. She and Smriti Mandhana shared a crucial 89-run partnership. Team India lost their first two wickets for 37 runs, but thanks to half-centuries from Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur, and Deepti Sharma, Team India scored 285 runs in the first innings.
Smriti Mandhana missed out on her 18th international century, scoring 83. In reply to India's 285, England were 21 for one at stumps on the first day. It's worth noting that England hasn't defeated India in women's Test cricket since 1995. This remains the only time England has ever won against Team India in a women's Test.
