27.3 – Overs batted by England in the fourth innings, the shortest total innings in the women's Tests. The previous record was 28.2 overs by New Zealand when they were bowled out for 44 by England at Christchurch in 1935. England's first innings at Navi Mumbai lasted just 35.3 overs , the fourth shortest.

Gargi Banerjee bowled 9.4 overs while taking six wickets in New Zealand's first innings in Cuttack in 1985.
