In a historic feat, India posted the highest ever total in Women's Test cricket, amassing 603 for six declared before South Africa Women responded valiantly on day two of the one-off Test, here Saturday.

The day began with India resuming at an imposing 525 for four. Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and Richa Ghosh dominated early proceedings, with Kaur marking her maiden half-century in the long format and Ghosh achieving her career-best score.
