Day/night cricket in England
Day/night cricket has been played in England and Wales since July 1997. Since then it has become a major part in the English cricket season with Day/Night matches played in the NatWest Pro40 League (40 overs), the main competition in which day/night cricket is played alongside day matches but also floodlit matches are played in the Twenty20 Cup (20 overs) and in the Friends Provident Trophy (50 overs) although only grounds which have paramount floodlights and the final of the Twenty20 Cup are day/night matches staged in these competitions. Also England have hosted day/night ODI's (50 overs) at various grounds around England and Wales every season since 2000.
