William Ansell Stands and Leslie Deakins, R. V. Ryder Stands, were newly constructed as part of development during January 2010. Floodlights pylons were permanently erected around the ground during April 2011, allowing 15 days of D/N cricket annually. The first International Test match played between England and India on August 10, 2011, after the redevelopment of the venue. It was the 3rd Test of the series, England beat India with an innings and 242 runs, which saw England ranked number 1 position in ICC Test Championship for the first time.
