Today's stunning photograph shows the view the fans will have when Edgbaston cricket ground's £32m facelift is completed.

The home of Warwickshire, which was one of England's most old-fashioned Test grounds, has been transformed with a complete rebuild of the Pavilion End that will take the total capacity to 25,000.

The new facilities, which include a media centre and conference facilities, are due to be handed over to the club by contractors on July 1.

The new Edgbaston stages its first Test match from August 10 to 14 when England play to host India.
