First three days sold out; tickets still available for Sunday.

BEST MOMENT
Colin Cowdrey returning to the crease with a broken arm in 1963. At the beginning of the final over, all four results were possible, but the match was eventually drawn.

BEST TO FORGET
The bomb scare Test in 1973, when 28,000 people were ordered to leave the ground after a hoax call during an IRA bombing campaign.

HIDDEN TREASURE
The gardens of St John’s Wood Church off the Wellington Road, picnics in the Harris Garden or on the Nursery Ground

BEST TO AVOID
Arriving late, because of security checks

WHERE TO EAT
Several cafés and bars in and around St John’s Wood road, a short walk away; Café Laville over the canal on Edgware Road is recommended on a nice day

WHERE TO DRINK
The newly refurbished Lord’s Tavern Bar
