Sergeant Sarah Merrall has learned a lot about cricket from working at Trent Bridge over the years. “I haven’t worked here for a few years, but it’s great to be back,” she says.

“The crowd are always well behaved, and I’ve never had to eject anyone from the ground.”

“The stewards know their job, and keep everything in order.”

She is looking forward to the Ashes, saying: “I hope to be working here for a couple of days of the match. My husband will be really jealous!”
