Hemlata hammers century

Vapi Nov. 29. Hemlata Kala scored an impressive century to help India gain a 76-run lead against New Zealand on the third day of the four-day one-off women's Test at the Hindustan Inks G.M. Bilakhiya stadium here today.

India was bowled out for 277 as Sunetra Paranjpe was unable to resume after being injured on Friday. New Zealand was 16 for one at close.

India, resuming at 143 for three, began sedately. It was only after lunch that Hemlata took on the Kiwi attack, essaying some delectable drives and flicks. She was dismissed for 109 (280b, 7x4).

For New Zealand, left-arm spinner Rebecca Steele was the most successful bowler, grabbing five for 79.

Brief scores:

New Zealand 201 for nine decl. and 16 for one vs India 277 (Hemlata Kala 109, Anju Jain 55, R. Steele five for 79). — UNI
