    Former England fast bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    It has been a weird few weeks in England mens cricket, it feels strange that the announcement has come today. I suppose the first thing your ears are drawn to is that it doesn't sound like it was his decision.

    I think there is a lot to unpick here.

  2. Ind 287-5

    Lead by 402

    Yastika Bhatia turns Issy Wong into the leg side and the India batters hurry through for a two - that moves the lead past 400.

    Bhatia then smacks a shot right past Wong's head, the seamer flails at it but it's coming far too fast to be a realistic catching opporunity.

    It's cut off for a single.

  3. Well, they'll have wanted to get Yastika Bhatia to her century, Mark.

    Here's how she reached the landmark.

    Don’t understand why India haven’t declared. I’m all for the grinding the opposition into the dust but they’ve already got 150 more runs than they’ll need against such a brittle batting lineup. Plus there’s a very good chance of a whole day off in London.

    Mark, London

  5. Ind 283-5

    11 more runs from Sophie Ecclestone's over as India up the pace.

    Richa Ghosh strikes two fours in three balls, clipping through mid-wicket and then sending an edge flying over the slips.

  6. Ind 272-5

    Another full delivery outside the off stump from Issy Wong and Yastika Bhatia again dispatches the ball to the backward point boundary.

    Eight runs from the over in total - India have added 22 in the three overs since the lunch break.

  7. McCullum sacked as England Test coach

    Brendon McCullum has been sacked as Test coach in another staggering twist in the unravelling of the England team.

    Two weeks after Ben Stokes made the stunning announcement to step down as captain and retire from international cricket, McCullum's exit brings a definitive end to the Bazball era.

    The New Zealander will continue as England's white-ball coach, but leaves the Test team following a string of poor results and several off-field incidents.

    Director of cricket Rob Key will remain in his position, with the decision to remove McCullum coming after the hierarchy of the England and Wales Cricket Board spent time reflecting on the situation surrounding the men's team.

    "I've absolutely loved coaching the Test side and I'm incredibly proud of what we've achieved together," said McCullum. "There have been some unbelievable highs and a few tough days along the way, but that's all part of taking on a challenge like this.

    "Of course I'm gutted not to be continuing, but I respect the decision. My focus now is on giving everything I've got to the white-ball teams and helping England keep moving forward."

    With runs almost irrelevant here, anyone fancy a bit of Heather Knight's golden arm?!

  9. Ind 264-5

    Lead by 379

    Richa Ghosh is the new batter, and she faces two dot balls from Sophie Ecclestone to end the over.

    Terrific from Sophie Ecclestone once again. She is an incredible spinner. She will be gunning for five wickets and to get her name on the board.

  11. wicket

    WICKET

    Deepti lbw b Ecclestone 10 (Ind 264-5)

    Gone!

    Impact is umpire's call, but as the on-field decision was out that means Deepti Sharma will have to head back to the pavilion.

    India retain their review though.

  12. Annesha Ghosh
    India cricket journalist on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I think it pitched outside the line.

  13. India review

    Yastika Bhatia whips Sophie Ecclestone's first ball through mid-wicket for four, then takes a single to bring Deepti Sharma on strike.

    The India all-rounder drops to a knee to sweep and is struck on the back leg.

    Up goes the umpire's finger, Deepti will review...

  14. How's stat?!

    This is Yastika Bhatia's first international century across formats and she will join the Lord's honours board straight away.

  15. Annesha Ghosh
    India cricket journalist on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Yastika Bhatia history is yours. The first women to etch her name in golden lettering. After overcoming a serious ACL injury, what a performance.

  16. 100 runs

    100 for Yastika Bhatia

    Ind 259-4

    A first women's Test century at Lord's and it's Yastika Bhatia's!

    She faces three dot balls from Issy Wong before easing the final ball of the over into the covers for a single.

    Her first international century, it comes from 145 deliveries.

    She gets down on her knees to kiss the turf at the home of cricket.

  17. Ind 258-4

    Consecutive fours moves Yastika Bhatia to 99!

    Two wide-ish deliveries from Issy Wong, the latter a full toss, are both dispatched through backward point by Bhatia.

    Start getting out the paintbrushes, she's one run away from the honours board.

  18. Let's get back out there.

    Yastika Bhatia will face the first ball of the afternoon session from Issy Wong - she resumes on 91.

  19. How stat?!

    Yastika Bhatia has targeted the straight boundary in this innings more often, scoring 44% of her runs in the 'V' down the ground.

  20. Bell bowls Rodrigues to gets her second wicket of the day

    Lauren Bell struck again later in the session, bowling Jemimah Rodrigues for three.

    The seamer has figures of 2-27 from 16 overs.
