Pakistan will base itself at this 9000-seater stadium. Home of the Derbyshire county team, the ground is peculiar for possessing an east-west pitch -- which means that the setting sun gets in the batsman's eyes, and so you have the peculiar situation of play being suspended, or called off, for good light.
