These England bowlers own five-wicket hauls against India (Women's Tests) 

Sophie Ecclestone, England's star spinner, has made a mark in the ongoing one-off Women's Test match against India.

The match is being played at Lord's, London.

Ecclestone was instrumental in England's bowling attack during India's third innings, taking five wickets, which led to India's declaration at 341/7d.

On this note, we look at England bowlers with fifers versus India in Women's Tests.

Sophie Ecclestone - 5/118 at Lord's, 2026 

Ecclestone became the fourth England bowler to enter this elite list.

The leg-spinner trapped dashing opener Shafali Verma on Day 2 before getting the better of Harmanpreet Kaur, Deepti Sharma, centurion Yastika Bhatia, and Sneh Rana on the following day.

Ecclestone bowled 33.3 overs in the innings dominated by Indian batters and picked 5/118.

As the spinner did not got much support from the other end, the visitors set England a target of 457.

Jenny Gunn - 5/19 in Wormsley, 2014 

Before Ecclestone, former all-rounder Jenny Gunn was the last English star with a WTest fifer against India.

The Brits were under the pump after being folded for 92 while batting first in the 2014 Wormsley Test.

However, a stellar spell from Gunn meant India could only manage 114/10 in response.

In a jaw-dropping spell, the pacer claimed 5/19 in 18 overs (9 maidens).

Though Gunn even scored a fine 62* in the third innings, England lost the contest by six wickets.
