<p>Ind-W defeated Eng-W on the fourth day at Lord&#39;s Cricket Ground in a one-off Test by 270 runs, completing a commanding all-round performance in the historic red-ball contest. Chasing an imposing 457, England were bowled out for 186 after failing to recover from their overnight position.</p>

<p>The visitors controlled the match for long periods after building a first-innings lead and strengthening it with a strong batting display in their second innings. By the time England began the chase, the required target had already left the hosts with little room for error.</p>

<h2>Rana Finishes the Job</h2>

<p>Sneh Rana produced the decisive spell on the final morning, returning figures of 4 for 42 to close out England&#39;s resistance. The off-spinner removed key batters as India steadily worked through the lower order after the hosts resumed with four wickets in hand.</p>

<p>Amy Jones offered England&#39;s strongest resistance with a fighting half-century before becoming Rana&#39;s first wicket of the day. Sophie Ecclestone followed with her maiden Test fifty, but her innings only delayed the inevitable as England&#39;s chase came to an end well short of the target.</p>

<h2>India Laid the Platform Across Both Innings</h2>

<p>India&#39;s victory was built through contributions from both the batting and bowling departments. Half-centuries from Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur helped the visitors post a competitive first-innings total despite Ecclestone&#39;s five-wicket haul.</p>

<p>The bowlers then seized control, dismissing England for 170 to establish a valuable first-innings advantage. Kranti Gaud starred with a five-wicket haul before adding two more wickets in the second innings to cap an impressive Test debut performance.</p>

<p>India tightened their grip after Yastika Bhatia registered her maiden Test century in the second innings, allowing the visitors to declare and set England a target of 457.</p>
