Filer makes history with first women's Test wicket at Lord's
England's Lauren Filer has become the first bowler to take a wicket in a women's Test match at Lord's, dismissing Shafali Verma for a duck on the opening morning.
Lauren Filer has etched her name into cricket history by claiming the very first wicket in a women's Test match at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground. The milestone occurred on the opening morning of the one-off Test, as she clean-bowled Indian opener Shafali Verma for a golden duck.
Filer's achievement marks a significant moment for women's cricket, as Lord's—often referred to as the home of cricket—hosted its inaugural women's Test. Her delivery, described as a "lovely delivery", was the perfect start to the historic match.
This historic wicket not only highlights Filer's skill but also underscores the growing prominence of women's Test cricket. Though the match continued, Filer's name will forever be associated with this landmark moment at one of the sport's most revered venues.
