Today we witness history as England and Australia take to the field for their first ever Test Match in Cardiff. The ground has undergone a £9.4million refurbishment with the capacity now raised from 5,500 to 15,643 in the last two years.

From your reserved seating for the crucial 1st Test match between these two traditional combatants you can watch as Australia will be hoping to turn around their form at Sophia Gardens, following a shock defeat in a ODI here against Bangladesh in 2005.

Watching live, the first ball of a new Ashes Series is sure to send a tingle up your spine, as both teams look to set the tone for summer on the very first morning.
