Former England cricketer Stuart Broad revealed he had an awkward moment with Sir David Beckham after meeting him at Wimbledon on Monday.
There was also a lighthearted accusation that Beckham replicated his fashion choice at Wimbledon's opening day on Monday.
Both men appeared in the Royal Box wearing remarkably similar tan suits.
The claim emerged during commentary for the second Test between India and England at Edgbaston, when Nasser Hussain suggested to Broad that he had copied the football icon's outfit.

"I actually think he has copied me," Broad responded with a grin.
The pair's matching attire became a talking point after viral images showed them sporting nearly identical light tan linen suits whilst seated in the prestigious Royal Box at Centre Court.
Broad revealed an uncomfortably hilarious moment when greeting Beckham at the Championships.
"When he walked into lunch, he put his hand out to shake hands, and he's had some surgery, big sort of plaster cast or something on his hand, and it was a bit awkward. I was sort of like, how firm a handshake do I go here?" Broad explained.
"So I ended up sort of just doing like a bit of a tappy handshake with him, which was a little bit awkward, but no, it was a lovely day."
Beckham's recent surgery followed the removal of a screw from an old injury.
"I broke my arm 23 years ago playing for England. I had a screw put in, and it needed to come out," the former footballer told DAZN Football.
