England v South Africa test match

Event: England v South Africa test match at Lord's
Date: July 10th to 14th 2008

Cricket fans staying at luxury London hotel the Milestone are in for a treat this summer, with the npower Test Match between England and South Africa taking place at Lord's.

The test match is one of the highlights of the 2008 season at London's self-pronounced home of cricket and will be contested between July 10th and 14th.

Michael Vaughn himself has previously commented: "At Lord's, there is always a buzz about the place, whether you are playing a county game or a big international."

Starting at 09:15, the Test provides the perfect excuse to book into luxury London hotel the Milestone the night before.

Other international visitors to Lord's this summer include New Zealand, while Middlesex will begin their Pro40 promotion season at the ground. Also, the hallowed turf will of course provide the setting for the Twenty20 matches and fixture finals.

Lord's is not only the home of cricket and of Middlesex County Cricket Club, but also the England and Wales Cricket Board and the European Cricket Council.
