As is just\u2026her longevity in the role. Nine years she led England which is just remarkable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">And, of course, she became the first English player \u2013 man or woman \u2013 to score a century in all three formats. Truly an icon of the game.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:?subject=England v India: women\u2019s Test, day three updates \u2013 live&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2026\/jul\/12\/england-v-india-womens-test-day-three-updates-cricket-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6a5361e28f08019173c60d92#block-6a5361e28f08019173c60d92\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Reminder to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2026\/jul\/12\/mailto:cameron.ponsonby.casual@theguardian.com\" data-link-name=\"in body link \" https:=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">get in touch<\/a> with any of your thoughts, facts or feelings about the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Particularly keen to hear some Heather Knight memories. In all, Knight will finish with 320 appearances for England. The most of anyone in history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Along with Tammy Beaumont\u2019s retirement, the furniture of English cricket is being moved around. There\u2019s too much change I don\u2019t like it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:?subject=England v India: women\u2019s Test, day three updates \u2013 live&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2026\/jul\/12\/england-v-india-womens-test-day-three-updates-cricket-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6a535f2b8f08019173c60d85#block-6a535f2b8f08019173c60d85\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Yesterday was also a record breaking day, as 15,432 fans were in at Lord\u2019s. The most ever for a single day of women\u2019s Test cricket.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">We\u2019re surely heading towards the record for the most attended women\u2019s Test ever? Although I\u2019ll have to get to googling to confirm that.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:?subject=England v India: women\u2019s Test, day three updates \u2013 live&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2026\/jul\/12\/england-v-india-womens-test-day-three-updates-cricket-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6a535ed58f0804ac7befe9ba#block-6a535ed58f0804ac7befe9ba\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">If you want some extra reading to settle into your Sunday morning.

He\u2019s only 23!<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Was an absolute ghost town this morning travelling across London. Think there might be a few dusty heads kicking around and having a few more hours kip. Not here at the Guardian OBO though. Fit, firing and ready to go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">45 minutes away from the start of day three now at Lord\u2019s. If England are going to pull off an unlikely victory they\u2019ll need to hit the ground sprinting today. Lots of wickets to be taken.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:?subject=England v India: women\u2019s Test, day three updates \u2013 live&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2026\/jul\/12\/england-v-india-womens-test-day-three-updates-cricket-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6a535a3c8f0804ac7befe993#block-6a535a3c8f0804ac7befe993\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Want to catch up on what happened yesterday? Well, look no further than Raf\u2019s report.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Kranti Gaud was the star of the show for India. She made history as her five-wicket haul meant she became the first woman to get her name up on the Lord\u2019s honours board.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:?subject=England v India: women\u2019s Test, day three updates \u2013 live&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2026\/jul\/12\/england-v-india-womens-test-day-three-updates-cricket-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6a5359f38f0885a73760d2ad#block-6a5359f38f0885a73760d2ad\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<\/a>Preamble<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">It\u2019s Bellingham! Just 23-years-old. Goodness, gracious me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">How has everyone spent their Sunday mornings? I\u2019ve been watching Jude Bellingham montages and I will not be stopped from doing so.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">That being said, I\u2019m also angling for some more Test cricket. And on this weekend of sport we approach the start of day three at Lord\u2019s where England are very much behind the eight-ball. India lead by 269 runs in their second innings and they\u2019re only one wicket down. Charlotte Edwards\u2019 team needs a miracle and fast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Also, if you missed it, some massive news last night as Heather Knight announced she would be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/2026\/jul\/11\/former-england-captain-heather-knight-to-retire-from-international-cricket\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">retiring from international cricket<\/a> after this match. What is it with this summer and big players stepping away?? Williamson, Stokes, Knight. Somebody make them stop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Anyway, if you do want to get in touch and recall some of your favourite Knight moments.
