Liverpool player Adam Lallana utilized his break by flying to London, to be a part of the ongoing Test match between England and South Africa.

London is a familiar place for the 29 year old. He has often played in this city primarily in the matches against Chelsea and Arsenal, the two heavyweights based in London.
But he tried out a different sport this time around.
Besides watching some quality cricket, Lallana also met some English cricketers in the pavilion.
Lallana was cool enough to enter the pavilion without a jacket and tie, much against the rule at the Lord’s stadium and met Moeen Ali and Liam Dawson.
He then met the skipper Joe Root,who had a memorable captaincy debut as he plundered 190 runs.
This incident took place after stumps on Day one. However Lallana was not charged for breach of conduct as he did not go too deep into the pavilion.
Lords is famous for having a very strict code when it comes to discipline. Navjot Singh Sidhu told a story in which he could not visit the washroom without wearing a tie first!
He also clicked some selfies with the cricketers.
England Cricket and Moeen Ali shared pictures of the visit from their respective Instagram handles with the former coming up with a cheeky caption, stating that Root was trying to tap up Lallana for a move to Sheffield United.
Clearly English cricket is booming at the moment, and Lallana is clearly a fan.
Now we will wait to see Root and company at Anfield some day!
