# Cricket: Australia and England will celebrate 150 years of Test cricket in Melbourne in 2027. The match in March will commemorate the first ever Test between the arch-rivals in the city in 1877. It will be the first day/night men’s Test at the MCG. Cricket Australia’s CEO, Todd Greenberg, says playing under the lights will be a fantastic way to celebrate the sport’s rich heritage as well as Test cricket’s modern evolution. In the centenary Test at the MCG in 1977, Australia beat England by 45 runs.
