The Duke of Edinburgh will officially open the new £8 million stand at Trent Bridge on the first day of the third Test between England against New Zealand on June 5.

It is the first Royal visit to the ground since Prince Phillip accompanied the Queen on a tour to mark her Silver Jubilee celebrations in 1977.

Nottinghamshire chief executive Derek Brewer said: "We are delighted. Given his love of cricket, we hope His Royal Highness is looking forward to visiting our refurbished venue."
