<\/p>\nSpinner Deepti Sharma bagged her maiden five-wicket haul in Tests to send England crashing for a lowly 136 on Day 2 of the one-off Test match at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, in Navi Mumbai, on Friday.<\/p>\n
Deepti, who hit a half-century with the bat, registered sensational figures of 5\/7 in 5.3 overs as England lost their last six wickets for just 10 runs.<\/p>\n
India, who posted a mammoth 428 in their first innings, grabbed a huge first innings lead of 292 runs.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
England were well-placed on 108\/3 in 25 overs before Deepti’s introduction resulted in a stunning collapse. Introduced in the 26th over, the off-spinner struck in her first over getting Danielle Wyatt caught by Jemimah Rodrigues for 19.<\/p>\n
She then struck a double blow in her third over, getting the wickets of Amy Jones (12) and Sophie Ecclestone (0).<\/p>\n

Sneh Rana made it worse for the visitors as the well-set Nat Sciver-Brunt was bowled for 59 after missing the cut shot off a sharp turning delivery from the off-spinner, who trapped Charlie Dean leg before wicket for a duck in her next over.<\/p>\n
Deepti accounted for Kate Cross and Lauren Filler in the space of six deliveries as England’s batters lasted just 35.3 overs in their first innings.<\/p>\n
Not surprising, India women didn’t enforce the follow-on and opted to bat in their second innings to build their huge lead.<\/p>\n

Earlier, resuming Day 2 on 410\/7, Deepti was the first Indian batter to be dismissed after a fine knock of 67, caught by Ecclestone off Lauren Bell.<\/p>\n
Renuka Singh was bowled by Ecclestone, who also dismissed Rajeshwari Gayakwad as India were bowled out for 428 in their first innings in the morning session on Day 2.<\/p>\n
Pacer Renuka provided the early breakthrough for India, getting the wicket of Sophia Dunkley for 11. <\/p>\n
Pooja Vastrakar trapped Heather Knight leg before wicket for 11 but Nat Sciver-Brunt batted positively, scoring 35 from as many balls to take England to 67\/2 in 16 overs at the lunch break.<\/p>\n

Sciver-Brunt and Tammy Beaumont’s 51-run stand for the third wicket came to an end courtesy of a superb piece of fielding from Vastrakar, who got the latter run out with a direct hit from square leg.<\/p>\n
Deepti then took over the proceeding as she ran through the England middle and lower order to put India in complete control of the Test.<\/p>\n
