Knight hits 95 but India fight back on absorbing first day of Test

(UTV | COLOMBO) – England suffered a late collapse against India after a sterling 95 from captain Heather Knight on a fluctuating first day of the one-off Test in Bristol.

The hosts slipped from 230-2 to 251-6, losing four wickets for 21 runs on a turning pitch before reaching 269-6 at the close.

Knight, in her 100th match as England captain, was distraught to fall five runs short of a century after watching Nat Sciver and Amy Jones be dismissed in quick succession by a rejuvenated India.

India acquitted themselves well in their first Test for six years, with debutant spinners Sneh Rana and Deepti Sharma taking 3-77 and 2-50 respectively.
