Bristol: The England players resorted to "constant sledging" to disturb Sneh Rana and Co but they maintained their composure to pull off a thrilling draw for the Indian women's team in the one off Test in Bristol. It was a tale of debutants as Shafali Verma (96 and 63), Deepti Sharma (3/65, 29* and 54), Taniya Bhatia (0 and 44*), Rana (4/131, 2 and 80*) and Pooja Vastrakar (1/53, 12 and 12) took the centrestage to eke out a draw after being followed-on in India's first Test after seven years. Needing two wickets in the final session, England bowlers were on top and used all the tactics with close-in fielders and constant sledging but Sneh and Bhatia remained unfazed.
