A new era for cricket in the UK

Edgbaston will host the first ever day/night Test match in the UK between England and West Indies.

The first ever floodlit Test took place in Adelaide in 2015 when Australia beat New Zealand which attracted over 120,000 fans in the space of three days at the Adelaide Oval.
