The last time a women's Test took place in South Africa was March 2002: India won the toss, inserted themselves, scored 404 for nine before declaring and went on to win the match by 10 wickets.

Bouchier's 'unforgettable' debut ton puts England on top in Bloemfontein

Despite the 22-year gap, had any of the spectators at that match happened to show up at Bloemfontein yesterday, an oddly similar spectacle awaited them. This time, it was England who racked up almost 400 after winning the toss, thanks to centuries from Maia Bouchier, on Test debut, and Nat Sciver-Brunt, the latter's a record-breaking one.

Bouchier, who scored 126 off 154 balls, described it as an "unforgettable day", adding: "I've said to a lot of people before that Test cricket is the pinnacle, and to make my debut and to get a hundred just tops the charts."
