About Trent Bridge
Trent Bridge has staged Tests since 1899, when W.G. Grace played his last Test there, and it is known for swing: on a humid Nottingham morning the ball can move in the air as much as anywhere in England. Stuart Broad's 8 for 15, as Australia were bowled out for 60 before lunch on the first day in 2015, is the ground's best bowling, and James Anderson has taken 73 Test wickets here. In one-day cricket the pitch has often been flat and fast: England made 444 for 3 against Pakistan here in 2016 and 481 for 6 against Australia in 2018, each the highest ODI total at the time. Denis Compton's 278 against Pakistan in 1954 is the highest Test score at the ground. Mike Atherton, who made five Test hundreds here, leads the ground's run-scorers with 1,083, and England's 354-run win over Pakistan in 2010 is its widest Test margin.
