    Decoding the 250-plus partnerships in Women's Tests

    What's the story

    Indian women's team openers Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana tormented South African bowlers on Day 1 of the one-off Women's Test against South Africa at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium.

    While Mandhana made a career-best 149, Shafali (205) became the second Indian to score a double-ton in Women's Tests.

    They stitched a 292-run partnership.

    Here we look at the 250-plus stands in Women's Tests.

    #4

    Karen Rolton and Louise Broadfoot - 253 runs

    Australia declared at 383/4 after bundling England out for 144 in the first innings of the 2001 Leeds Test.

    Karen Rolton (209*) starred with a terrific double-ton in that match.

    Rolton, who arrived at three, dominated a brilliant 253-run partnership with Louise Broadfoot for the fourth wicket.

    The latter made 71. The Aussies went on to record a nine-wicket triumph.

    #3

    Thirush Kamini and Punam Raut - 275 runs

    India lost Mandhana (8) early while batting first in the 2014 Mysore Test against SA.

    Thirush Kamini was then joined by Punam Raut and it was one-way traffic since then.

    Both batters slammed centuries and also added 275 runs for the third wicket.

    While Raut made 130, Kamini (192) missed out on a double-ton.

    India declared at 400/6 and later recorded an innings victory.

    #2

    Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana - 292 runs

    Shafali and Mandhana's 292-run stand is next on this list.

    India were off to a delightful start as both openers looked in full flow.

    While Mandhana took some time initially, Shafali didn't hold back as runs were scored for fun.

    They recorded the first 250-plus opening stand in Women's Tests.

    As mentioned, Mandhana made 149 while Shafali starred with a record-breaking 205.

    #1

    Denise Annetts and Lindsay Reeler - 309 runs

    Responding to England's first innings score of 201 in the 1987 Wetherby Test, the Aussies declared at 346/3.

    They were reduced to 2/37 when opener Lindsay Reeler was joined by Denise Annetts.

    The duo added 309 runs for the third wicket as Annetts dominated the proceedings with a 192-run knock.

    Reeler scored an unbeaten ton (110*). The game resulted in a draw.
