'''Trent Bridge Cricket Ground''' is a [[cricket]] ground mostly used for [[Test cricket|Test]], [[One-day cricket|One-Day International]] and [[county cricket]] located in [[West Bridgford]], [[Nottinghamshire]], England, just across the [[River Trent]] from the city of [[Nottingham]]. Trent Bridge is also the headquarters of [[Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club]]. As well as international cricket and Nottinghamshire's home games, the ground has hosted the Finals Day of the [[Twenty20 Cup]] twice and will host the final of the [[Royal London One-Day Cup|One-Day Cup]] between 2020 and 2024.<br />
<br />
In 2009, the ground was used for the [[ICC World Twenty20]] and hosted the semi-final between [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]] and [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]]. The site takes its name from [[Trent Bridge (bridge)|the nearby main bridge]] over the Trent and it is also close to [[Meadow Lane]] and the [[City Ground]], the [[association football|football]] stadiums of [[Notts County FC|Notts County]] and [[Nottingham Forest FC|Nottingham Forest]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[File:Trent Bridge 1890.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Trent Bridge circa 1890]]<br />
Trent Bridge was first used as a [[cricket]] ground in the 1830s. The first recorded cricket match was held on an area of ground behind the [[Trent Bridge Inn]] in 1838.<ref name=brief>{{cite web|last=Wynne-Thomas|first=Peter|title=A Brief History of Trent Bridge|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/60197.html|publisher=ESPN Sports Media|work=Cricinfo|access-date=21 April 2013}}</ref> Trent Bridge hosted its first Test match in 1899, with [[England cricket team|England]] playing against [[Australia national cricket team|Australia]].<br />
<br />
The ground was first opened in 1841 by [[William Clarke (cricketer, born 1798)|William Clarke]], husband of the proprietress of the Trent Bridge Inn<ref name=brief/> and himself Captain of the All England Cricket Team. He was commemorated in 1990 by the opening of the new William Clarke Stand which incorporates the Rushcliffe Suite. The West Park Sports Ground in [[West Bridgford]] was the private ground of Sir [[Julien Cahn]], a furniture millionaire, who often played host to touring national sides.<br />
<br />
In 1950, an electronically-operated [[Scoreboard#Cricket|scoreboard]] was installed at this venue, then the world's largest at any cricket stadium.<ref>{{cite news |title=Worlds Largest Score Board |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=e7w-AAAAIBAJ&sjid=O0wMAAAAIBAJ&pg=6944%2C544423 |access-date=29 June 2019 |work=The Indian Express|via=Google News |date=5 April 1950 |page=8}}</ref><br />
