After an explosive first day of test cricket at Trent Bridge with 334 runs scored and 14 wickets falling, the entertainment on the field was second to none.

Off the field today we follow up yesterday’s entertainment with a selection of different entertainers, including Ashes legend, Graham Swann’s band – Dr. Comfort. We also have two acoustic singers under the New Stand all day on top of a variety of other musicians including a Dhol band.

Looking forward to what England fans are hoping will be a short day three as England close in on the series winning victory in this fourth test, those coming via Nottingham Station can look forward to being welcomed by a samba band and some Victorian Street Theatre.

Over at the ground there will be some acoustic singers and a dance troupe as well as some more theatre.

Delighted England fans celebrated with joy as the players depart the field for tea after a fantastic final  20 minutes. I was talking to a couple of England fans just before lunch after 4 quick wickets.The father and son said “we needed a couple of wickets to liven the crowd up and that’s exactly what the boys gave us.”

The young lad said “I’ve had a really good day and hopefully England can get a couple more wickets”.

After a long afternoon session with Rogers and Warner putting on 113 opening partnership, the crowd were getting down, so a breakthrough was needed.

Being down there in the stand, it seems like there is much more of a buzz after a few quick wickets. The crowd is enjoying it, will they see England win tonight?

With the Test match bandwagon rolling into Trent Bridge this week, it gives great excitement to local businesses and restaurants. For those fortunate enough to be at the match they would have seen the exquisite and delicious food stalls there are around the ground.

However the opportunity to catch up with supermarket giants Co-op situated outside the ground and find out how such a sporting event effects them was something not to be missed.

“With breaks in play, we get huge rushes of people, coming in for cheaper drinks and sandwiches” said an employee. He also said that “its fantastic for business and always keeps us nice and busy when the crickets on.”

Its not just the cricket which is of the highest standard here at Trent Bridge, but also the food which hospitality team provides. listen below about the preparation they have gone through to get everything just right for this test match.

There is around 25 photographers around Trent Bridge today, who will be snapping away for the remainder of the match. After yesterdays carnage of 60 all out, some would have been worrying about a lack of pictures. Luckily after Australia’s slight recovery in the second innings, they provided plenty of opportunities to snap the perfect pic.

I wanted to see what is was like being a photographer, so i went out to speak to one who is sitting in front of the Radcliffe road stand. “I feel privileged to be able to sit at one of England’s best grounds and just sit down pitchside and take pictures of the Ashes. It’s tiring sitting here for a potential five days, but this series has been very enjoyable and hopefully i can get some good pictures this afternoon.”

Stuart Broad’s surprised face yesterday was in papers as a popular pic from yesterday, can that be recreated with some England magic in the last two sessions? Only time will tell
