    The 150th anniversary cricket test between Australia and England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in March 2027 will be a day-night pink-ball affair


    The one-off fixture will be the first time the Australian men have played a test under lights at the MCG.

    The match, which begins two years today, will be the second of two MCG tests that summer - the first against the Black Caps from Boxing Day 2026.
