Scoring England women's cricketers at Lord's a dream come true
Jane Hough, Derbyshire’s first-team cricket scorer, fulfilled her dream of scoring England’s first women’s Test match at Lord’s, a historic fixture in which India defeated England by 270 runs. Selected by the England and Wales Cricket Board, she joined a seven-person scoring team and described the experience as intense and meaningful. Her path into scoring began years earlier while supporting a local Derbyshire village side, eventually leading to roles in major domestic and international events. Cricket organizations in Derbyshire praised her dedication and contribution to the sport.
