Fascinating stuff!
Three ladies from Nottingham are loving their day at the cricket and for this special occasion are sporting their own Ashes-themed fascinators.
Louise Kew, Laura Stephenson and Jo Sheppard had the idea when they came to the ODI against South Africa last year, so they set about designing and constructing their own fascinators for this Ashes test.

Beer is Best at the Ashes
Marston’s Brewery are the official brewery of the England Cricket Team and Tom Lenahan, despite his self confessed pessimism, is looking forward to a successful Ashes series against the Aussies this year.
Being a cricket fan himself Tom is no stranger to the cricket grounds and he is definitely a fan of Trent Bridge, “It’s great to be so central in the City with so much going on around the ground.”
Tom goes on to say, “There’s a great atmosphere, it’s one of the smaller grounds at international level but it makes a noise above that!”
Marston’s are proud of their long standing support to the England Cricket Team but Tom is also keen to point out that they do a lot for grass roots cricket both in terms of supply and sponsorship.
Marston’s are working with the Times on a Social Media Competition to get the fans to tweet their favourite “sledge”, within the bounds of good taste of course! Just hashtag your tweet with #pedigreebanter and #rise of course!
