Test cricket is full of traditions, quirks and more, with none so welcome as the lunch and tea breaks.

The game can be gruelling for those in the field for the majority of the day, with or without the bat, and intervals provide welcome relief for all.

England return to red-ball action for the first time since their ill-fated tour of India in the first quarter of 2024.

Captain Ben Stokes led his team to victory in the first Test in Hyderabad before slumping to four consecutive defeats.

England will now take on West Indies on British soil as they seek to rediscover some form.
