England vs India: Shafali Verma hits 96 on Test debut but visitors suffer late collapse to finish Day 2 at 187/5

In Bristol, India suffered a dramatic late collapse as England Women fought back after an audacious 96 from teenage debutant Shafali Verma lit up the second day of the one-off Test.
 
The tourists had been cruising at 167 for no loss before Shafali was caught chasing the boundary that would have brought her a century.
 
From then, India folded, losing five wickets for just 16 to end the day on 187 for five, trailing the hosts by 209 runs. England had earlier declared on 396 for nine, led by an unbeaten 74 from Sophia Dunkley.
