"Grass on the pitch has turned straw-coloured. There are also some craters on a length just outside off, leading to variable bounce that we saw yesterday," says Murali Karthik in the pitch report.
Day 3, 9.10am local: Hello and welcome to our coverage of the third day of this Test.
Stats: 1. The highest ever target set in a Women’s Test before this game was 410 by Sri Lanka against Pakistan in Colombo (Colts) in 1998. 2. The highest successful chase in the format till date is 198 by Australia against England at the Bankstown Oval, Sydney in 2011. 3. The highest fourth-innings total in Women’s Test is England’s 245/9, which came in the thrilling one-off drawn Ashes Test in Canberra in January 2022.
Deepti Sharma: I like Test cricket very much, you get a lot of time. You can express yourselves while batting and bowling, you get plenty of time. I was having fun while batting and while bowling. Was just waiting for my turn to roll my arm. I liked all my wickets, but Ecclestone's bowled dismissal was my favourite one. We tried to bowl in the right areas, we were having a discussion among ourselves and bowled according to our plans.
17:01 Local Time, 11:31 GMT, 17:01 IST: Stumps on Day 2! A total of 19 wickets fell in the day, and India are now right in the driver's seat with a massive lead of 478.
