'A shot in the arm for women's cricket'

INDWvsENGW

Said on @bbctms early in this Test that we'll see layers in this Indian batting. With players from different eras in this side, we see different styles of batting. In this instance, they've all played their parts. Sabres and shields. Fantastic recovery. So happy for Sneh Rana.

The performance of the day came from Sneh Rana and it merely confirms my view that India will not be short on quality players in the women's game. It was a fantastic effort today and a shot in the arm for women's cricket.

A brilliant effort by the Indian girls to save the test match. Absolutely loved the resilience shown by Sneh Rana and earlier by Deepti Sharma. Shafali Verma certainly has a bright future ahead of her. Well done @BCCIWomen , this is one to remember for a long time.

It's a draw! Sneh Rana, Shikha Pandey & Tania Bhatia have played fighting hands in this innings along with @TheShafaliVerma, Deepti & Punam & @mandhana_smriti's master class in the 1st. Such a terrific performance from the Indian women's team, given how few tests they play.

Kudos to India’s women’s team for grit and commitment in gaining honourable draw v Eng. At one stage after Shafali fell early and collapse ensued it looked a lost cause. Rana and Tanya Bhatia held their nerve, put on splendid 9th wkt century partnership and saved the day

Give Shafali Verma more Test matches. Give Deepti Sharma more Test matches. Give Sneh Rana more Test matches. Give all of them more Test matches.
