You never know who you might bump into in a pub. This picture was taken last year after Marc Saunders from Abbots Langley walked into a pub where he met England cricket star Jonny Bairstow.

The batsman was almost England’s hero on Wednesday when he scored a superb 112 in the final One-Day International, but Australia won the series with a thrilling three-wicket victory at Old Trafford.
