England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt has urged her team to display resilience in the historic Rothesay Test against India at Lord's. The squad quickly shifts focus from their seven-wicket T20 World Cup final loss to Australia to the red-ball format.

This Test marks a significant moment, being England's first-ever women's Test match at Lord's, with over 30,000 tickets sold, a UK record for women's Tests. Sciver-Brunt acknowledged the disappointment of the World Cup final but sees the format change as a welcome reset, bringing fresh energy to the squad.

England faces a challenging opponent in India, having secured only one prior Test victory against them out of fifteen encounters. India's batters are known for their patience and technique, posing a significant test for England's bowlers. The match also marks the international retirement of Tammy Beaumont, a stalwart for England with 12 ODI centuries. Sciver-Brunt hopes the team can send her off with a strong performance.
