The waiting is over as England look to make it back-to-back Test wins at the Home of Cricket this summer. In early July the West Indies were beaten by an innings and 114 runs inside three days. Now the red-ball action continues with the visit of Sri Lanka from Thursday 29 August to Monday 2 September. A packed crowd at NW8 for an England Test match at Lord’s between two age-old rivals.
2024 PREVIEW – ENGLAND TEST MATCH LORD’S
England rediscovered their scintillating home form at Lord’s in the first of three Test matches against the West Indies this summer. Revenge was the name of the game for the hosts who lost the last Test series between the sides which took place in the Caribbean in March 2022. The series ended 1-0 in favour of the West Indies who won the deciding third Test by ten wickets.
The West Indies were no match for an England side in which James Anderson made his final appearance after a stellar career. Anderson bowed out with four wickets, to take his tally to an astonishing 704 wickets in a Test career spanning over two decades. Meanwhile Gus Atkinson plundered twelve wickets in total as the West indies were well and truly outplayed in the first of three Tests between the sides.
This week Sri Lanka stand in between England and another Test victory at Lord’s. The encounter is the second game of a three-match series which starts at Old Trafford on Wednesday 21 August.
Who will come out in top in this latest edition of a historic cricketing rivalry? All will be revealed over the next five days on the hallowed Lord’s turf in St John’s Wood.
The MCC Museum is open to all ticket holders during the duration of the match. Located behind the Pavilion it’s a treasure trove of cricketing history housing an extraordinary collection of memorabilia.
2022 & 2023 RECAP
2022 was a year in which England, reinvigorated under the new leadership of captain Ben Stokes and Test coach Brendon McCullum, embraced an attacking form of Test cricket which paid huge dividends. Outplayed in The Ashes in Australia during the winter of 2021 and losing on tour in the West Indies in March, England’s men got back to winning ways in red-ball cricket with a 3-0 series win over New Zealand.
The England players headed into the 2023 Ashes series against Australia in buoyant mood, looking to win back the famous urn. But it wasn’t be. A fiery five-match Test series ended in a 2-2 draw meaning the Baggy Greens retained the Ashes until the side collide again for the 2025/2026 series in Australia.
