Kranti, Yastika on honours board; Mandhana stars in milestone game

5/37 by Kranti Gaud was the fifth five-for by an Indian seamer in women's Tests, after three from Jhulan Goswami and one from Gargi Banerjee. She finished with 7/91 in the match, the third-best for an India seamer after Jhulan's 10/78 against England in Taunton (2006) and Shashi Gupta's 8/100 against Australia in Lucknow (1984).

343 wickets for Ecclestone across formats — third-most in women's internationals after Deepti Sharma (359) and Jhulan Goswami (355). She passed Katherine Sciver-Brunt (335) and Ellyse Perry (336) during her first innings effort of 3/68.

1 — Amy Jones became the first designated wicketkeeper with 50-plus scores in both innings of a women's Test. She was the only England batter to pass 50 in the match, top-scoring with 52 and 54.

She became the second to achieve this while batting at No.6 or lower, after Australia's Jess Jonassen (99 and 54 vs England, Canterbury, 2015).

2 — Jones is also the second wicketkeeper to top-score for her team in both innings of a women's Test, after India's Fowzieh Khalili (84 and 41* vs West Indies, Lucknow, 1976).

231 runs aggregated by designated wicketkeepers in the match — the highest in a women's Test, surpassing 207 in New Zealand vs England (Christchurch, 1935). England's Betty Snowball contributed 189 of those, the only 150-plus score by a wicketkeeper in the format.
