England captain Alastair Cook has hailed Durham Cricket Club and the Emirates Durham International Cricket Ground hailing the venue as "fantastic".
The Three Lions won the Ashes series at the Emirates Durham ICG after beating Australia by 74 runs as nine wickets fell in the evening session on day four of the 4th Investec Test, when Stuart Broad picked up six wickets in just 49 deliveries.
Cook said: "I thought it did fantastically well, we were lucky with the weather I think just down the road might have got a bit of a barrage.
"The four days were fantastic, I thought the crowd were brilliant, the wicket was a different wicket than what we were used to in England and it was a bit of a more low scoring game but I thought it produced some fantastic cricket and very entertaining.
"We like coming to Durham and it was a good game."
History will be made as Durham hosts the 4th Investec Ashes Test at Emirates Durham ICG August 9th-13th. This is the page for all your information and behind the scenes stories and pictures!
