That's now TWO penalty shootouts England have won during the World Cup…
England's footballers came through spot-kicks against Colombia en route to Wednesday night's semi-final against Croatia and now their cricketing counterparts have tested their mettle with penalties.
During training ahead of Thursday's opening ODI against India at Trent Bridge - live on Sky Sports Cricket and Main Event from 12pm - Eoin Morgan's men separated into 'bibs' and 'no bibs' for a spot-kick challenge.
The bibbed side came out on top, with Ben Stokes, now fully over his hamstring injury, showing the shot-stopping prowess of Jordan Pickford between the posts, and Liam Plunkett converting the decisive penalty.
Perhaps England's footballers will look for tips if their game with Croatia goes all the way…
Watch the first ODI, at Trent Bridge, live on Sky Sports Cricket (channel 404) and Sky Sports Main Event (channel 401) from 12pm on Thursday.
