The Ashes Lord's

The second Test of the 2013 Ashes series takes the Australian and English cricketers to Lord's.

Lord's has long been seen as the 'Home of Cricket' and the game's spiritual 'headquarters'. But its importance is not merely historical. In practice it remains, to this day, perhaps the most important single place in world cricket.

Its owner, Marylebone Cricket Club, remains the guardian of both the Laws and the Spirit of Cricket, and MCC sides perform a key role in promoting cricket in Britain and elsewhere.
