Bumble tucked into his #CricketTea - and shared his views on quinoa - during the Cricket Tea-A-Thon, which aimed to support food banks
David Lloyd and his fellow Sky Sports Cricket pundits, plus fans on social media, got involved in the Cricket Tea-A-Thon to help support food banks.
The ECB, in supporting the Trussell Trust, one of the UK's leading food poverty charities, delivered the Cricket Tea-A-Thon during the tea break of Friday's play in the second #raisethebat Test between England and West Indies at Emirates Old Trafford.

Fans were urged to get involved by posting pictures of their teas with friends and family and any food they wished to donate using #CricketTea.

The Cricket Tea-A-Thon formed part of the Together Through This Test scheme, which has highlighted the work of the cricket community during the coronavirus pandemic.
The ECB encouraged clubs and community groups to become food collection points and donate items that would usually make up their weekly teas, such as tea, coffee, biscuits and fruit juice, as well as cereal, toiletries and baby supplies, which will support some of the most vulnerable families.
