The Duchess of Rutland XI will take on the MCC from 12.30pm in a fundraising and profile-raising match for the Belvoir Cricket and Countryside Trust.

The series currently stands at 4-3 in the MCC’s favour, but the Duchess XI’s closed the deficit with an 86-run win last year and will be looking to level the scoreline.
