England have reached the summit of the world ODI rankings, but can Nasser Hussain, Rob Key and Ian Ward conquer Sigiriya Rock?

Everything was far from 'cushti' as Nasser Hussain attempted an 'Only Fools and Horses' quiz will scaling Sri Lanka's iconic Sigiriya Rock in 90 per cent humidity.

Click on the video above to see Nasser, Rob Key and Ian Ward - with a combined age of 139 - tackle the 200m ascent, covering over 1,200 steps in the process, and find out who reached the plateau summit first! You know it makes sense!
