We look forward to welcoming you to Lord’s for the third Rothesay Test match in the series between England and India, where both sides battle it out for the newly renamed Tendulkar-Anderson trophy.

This match will be the first time the two teams have contested a Test match at Lord’s since 2021, where India soared to a 151-run victory. However, both teams have seen plenty of change since then, meaning we’ll be in for an intriguing contest between two of the heavy hitters of Test cricket.

#REDFORRUTH

Lord's will once again transform into a sea of red for the Ruth Strauss Foundation’s #RedforRuth day on Friday 11 July.

The cricket community, including players, staff and broadcasters will unite to support the Foundation and help raise awareness and vital funds for its mission to support families facing the death of a parent from cancer.  

It's sure to be a glorious occasion and we're inviting spectators to add to the day by wearing red to show their support. We'll be in touch with more information and how you can get involved closer to match day.

getting to lord's

There are plenty of options across the Transport For London (TFL) network to get to Lord’s. Please note that roadworks on Wellington Road throughout the summer will cause some disruption in and around St John’s Wood underground station and therefore we urge you to use alternatives whenever possible.

It is also highly recommended to use the Underground station most appropriate for where you will be seated in the Ground. These options should be considered for entry and leaving:

• For the Warner Stand, Pavilion, and Tavern and Allen Stands, use Warwick Avenue or Edgware Road (15 min walk)
• For Mound and Edrich Stands, use Baker Street (15 min walk)
• For the Grand and Compton Stands, use St. John's Wood (10 min walk)

The closet rail stations are Marylebone (15 mins) and Paddington which is a pleasant 20-minute stroll taking in the canals of Little Venice.

Entry through the North Gate will be via automated turnstiles, with stewards on hand to assist if needed.
