Lord's under the lights

28 August 2007

Lord's will host its first floodlit fixture in its esteemed history

Tickets are now available for the first floodlit match at Lord's.

On Monday September 10, Middlesex Crusaders take on Derbyshire Phantoms in Division Two of the NatWest Pro40.

The fixture was originally due to be played at Southgate, but after discussions between MCC, the ECB and Middlesex CCC, the switch to Lord's was confirmed.

There is no refund scheme for this match. If, due to weather conditions, the match is abandoned without a ball being bowled, tickets will admit the bearer to Lord's for a day of an LV County Championship or NatWest Pro40 match during the 2008 season, except if the match is floodlit or sold in advance.

The match is scheduled to start at 4.10pm and finish no later than 9.40pm. The gates at Lord's will open at 2.40pm.

Tickets can be purchased by telephone from the MCC ticket office on 0207 432 1000 or online at www.lords.org, priced at £15 for adults and £7.50 for over 65s and under 16s.
