Lord's Cricket Ground was established in 1814 and is located at St John's Wood in London.
Lords is acknowledged as the 'home of cricket' and plays host to the powerful Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) which also owns the copyright to the Laws of Cricket. It is the MCC which makes changes to, or updates the rules of cricket.
The first test match played at Lord's was between England and Australia in 1884. In a one sided match, England beat the Australia by an innings and five runs.
The team dressing rooms are adorned with honour boards which mark every century made in a Test match on the grounds, and all instances of a bowler taking five wickets in a Test innings, and 10 wickets in a Test match.
