Win tickets to see England at Lord's

Date released: 27 August 2008

You can win tickets to the sold-out one-day international at Lord's with NatWest's 'Tickets for Wickets' competition - and meet some England heroes at the same time.

For your chance to win, all you need to do is pitch-up and bowl in the ‘Wickets for Tickets’ competition on Wednesday 27 and Thursday 28 August at the O2 Arena in London between 11.00am and 9.30pm at the NatWest Interactive Roadshow.

Stars on show

Meet England heroes at the O2 England captain Kevin Pietersen and his team mates Alistair Cook, Ian Bell and Luke Wright will be on hand to offer words of encouragement, participate in the road show and sign merchandise for the public.

The competition is open to everyone. Bowlers who hit the stumps will be entered into a prize-draw to win a pair of tickets.

Up for grabs will be tickets for the upcoming NatWest Series fixtures at The Brit Oval on Friday 29 and Lord’s on Sunday 31 August.

Speed stars

How fast can you bowl? In addition, those taking part can enter 'NatWest Speed Stars' which is once again touring the country to find the nation’s fastest male and female bowlers.

With four different age categories for both boys and girls, including sections for over 18s, everyone can be in with a shout of making their way to the national final.

The four fastest bowlers from across the country in each age category (Under 12, Under 15, Under 18 and Adult) will qualify for the final.

The NatWest Speed Stars Final will take place at Lord’s on Saturday 13 September after the NatWest Series finishes.

Members of Team England will join ECB accredited coaches to demonstrate and help everyone improve their cricket skills.

All entrants will be able to check their speed and position in the competition by visiting www.natwest.com/cricket.

Pietersen's new poster

If you're lucky enough to win a ticket to Lord's (or already have your ticket) a new sight will welcome you to 'The Home of Cricket'.

New England captain, Kevin Pietersen, has had his face added to the myriad of international captain's around the Ground.

'KP's' face and quote were being put up at Lord's on Wednesday 27 August, ahead of the one day international.
