One Plays Football for Wales, the other plays Cricket for England. But what happened when Steve Finn and Chris Gunter challenged each other at both sports.

One plays football for Wales, the other plays cricket for England - but how good are Chris Gunter and Steve Finn at each other's sports?

Fast bowler Finn proved himself to be no slouch at 'keepy-uppy', while Wales and Reading full-back Gunter replied in kind by keeping a cricket ball aloft.

"The main thing was trying not to embarrass myself," said Gunter, who admitted to rarely playing cricket. "I think I did okay!"

Finn and the rest of the England cricket team regularly play football as part of their warm-up for Test matches, T20s and ODIs - and the quick revealed they take it very seriously.

"At the start of a series, two captains pick teams and then we keep them," he said. "There's a golden boot at the end of the tournament - the lads are properly fired up for it."

The pair also attempted their own 'crossbar challenge' and throwing a cricket ball at the stumps, so click on the video above to find out what happened...
