Following the successful staging of 2011's inaugral Test between England and Sri Lanka, The Ageas Bowl next hosts five-day cricket in 2014 when the three lions take on India in a battle of two of the world's cricketing heavy-weights!
It's been a fixture that, throughout history, has been full of drama and cricketing excellence - from Fred Trueman's 8-31 as the visitors made a first-innings 58 at Old Trafford in 1952 to Sunil Gavaskar's 221 to take India to within nine runs of scoring 438 to win a match in 1979, and Hampshire's own Shaun Udal taking 4-14 on his 37th birthday in 2005 / 06. It's also had it's fair share of controversy over the years involving vaseline (1976 / 77) and jellybeans (2007) of all things!
And with both countries still featuring some of the biggest names in the global game at the moment the five-match Series in 2014 promises to be just as big!
