PREPARATIONS for Taunton's hosting of an international T20 fixture between England and South Africa continue at pace, with a new temporary stand the latest addition to the Cooper Associates County Ground ahead of the showpiece occasion.

The stand, which takes its place between the Colin Atkinson Pavilion and the Andrew Caddick pavilion where the main scoreboard has just been knocked down, holds around 3,000 spectators.

This will take the overall capacity to 12,500 for the England match, which takes place on Friday June 23, but the stand will be taken down shortly after the international fixture.

A small number of single tickets remain for the match - click here for details.
