TICKET office phone lines opened yesterday for the public to book tickets for the npower Test Match against Sri Lanka.

Edgbaston will host the match that starts on Thursday, May 25 and, after the success of last year's Ashes match at Warw-ickshire, it is hoped that Eng-land can continue their great form and beat the Sri Lankans, whose danger men include Muttiah Muralitharan and Mahela Jayawardene.

One person desperate to get back into the action is Warwickshire spinner Ashley Giles who is currently recovering from a hip injury. "I was so proud that we won the first game in the series at Edgb-aston. It is special to win in your home town. The crowd was fantastic and lifted us to the top of our game."

Tickets are available for all days and range from £25 up to £50, call 0870 062 1902 and press option one to reserve your seat.
