• India posted 285 and 341/7 declared; England replied with 170 and 186 (ESPNcricinfo – scorecard).

Head‑to‑head Test summary

India Women lead the head‑to‑head Test record in recent encounters. The 2026 Lord’s Test will be the first women’s Rothesay Test at that venue, adding extra weight to a rivalry that has been one‑sided in the longest format lately.

Two Tests, one pattern: India’s dominance in the red‑ball game contrasts with England’s strength in T20Is, where they won the 2026 series 2‑1.

The implication: India’s Test record is formidable, but England’s home T20 series win shows they are not invincible across formats.

How did India women perform in the latest warm‑up match?

Match summary: India Women vs England Women warm‑up

• India Women defeated England Women in a T20 warm‑up by 2 wickets (BBC Sport – live coverage).
• Richa Ghosh scored 17 runs off the final six balls to secure the win (BBC Sport – commentary).

Key performances

Ghosh’s finishing ability was the standout. India’s bowlers had earlier restricted England to a modest total, setting up the chase. The win gave India confidence heading into the T20 World Cup, though England’s response in the series showed they remain a formidable side at home.

India’s lower‑order firepower is a clear advantage, but England’s bowlers will be better prepared for the series.
