Lord's will attract a record-breaking crowd when it stages its first Twenty20 match between Middlesex and Surrey on Thursday, July 15. MCC has confirmed that ticket sales have now topped 15,000, breaking the previous Twenty20 record crowd of 14, 862 for the match between Lancashire and Yorkshire at Old Trafford last June.

"We are delighted that tickets have been selling so well," beamed Roger Knight, MCC's secretary and chief executive. "We look forward to staging our first Twenty20 match in front of a record-breaking Lord's crowd."

Advance sales of tickets, which cost £10 for adults and £5 for children, will end on Monday, July 12. All eighty boxes and suites have been sold out since mid-May. Assuming tickets remain, on-the-day sales will be on a cash-only basis at the North Gate ticket sales points.
