India’s Jhulan Goswami, the leading wicket-taker in women’s ODIs, bowed out of international cricket on Saturday at Lord’s after bowling her 10,000th ball in one-day matches, as her side completed a 3-0 series win over England with a controversial final wicket. Goswami claimed her record-extending 254th and 255th ODI wickets – the last one with her 10,001st delivery in the format – before ending her 20-year international career, having debuted in 2002. India struggled with the bat and were bowled out for 169, with no fewer than five players failing to scorea run. Sharma then underpinned the side with an unbeaten top score of 68 off 106 balls. Captain Amy Jones (28) took England past 100 runs before she fell to Thakur, and Dean then held the innings together as England drew steadily closer to their target of 170 – before Sharma’s unexpected move snatched the win for India.
