The Home of Cricket awaits as it prepares to host its first-ever women's Test match, with England taking on India in a one-off encounter. Both teams will be looking to bounce back after disappointing Women's T20 World Cup campaigns. England finished as runners-up after being outclassed by Australia in the final (again), while India failed to progress beyond the group stage.

The head-to-head record slightly favors the tourists. India have won three matches, while England have managed just one victory in the 15 Tests between the two sides. Most recently, India claimed a dominant 347-run win in the one-off Test in December 2023, while the previous Test in England, played in June 2021, ended in a draw.

Adding to the occasion, Tammy Beaumont, one of England's most prolific batters, has announced that she will retire from international cricket after this match. Led by Harmanpreet Kaur, this will be India's first Test since their 10-wicket defeat to Australia at the WACA in March. Prior to that, India had not lost a women's Test since the 2005-06 season, with that defeat also coming against Australia.

England, meanwhile, are also playing their first Test since suffering a crushing innings-and-122-run defeat to Australia in the 2024-25 Ashes. Led by veteran Nat Sciver-Brunt, the hosts will be eager to carry their momentum into the longest format after an emphatic 3-0 sweep of India in the recently concluded T20I series.
