The Rose Bowl hosted its maiden First Class match in 2001 and is the newest international venue in England.

Built at a cost of £20m it has only hosted two international matches but has already won over cricket fans, who love the impressive facilities.

Of the two matches held at the ground only one actually saw any play, with South Africa beating Zimbabwe by seven wickets in July 2003.

The New Zealand-West Indies match in July 2004 was abandoned after the toss without a ball being bowled.

As a result the ground records are limited, with Makhaya Ntini's 4-45 for South Africa the best bowling figures.

South Africans Jacques Rudolph and Graeme Smith share highest score of 69, in Rudolph's case unbeaten.
