Rishi Sunak has tried to score points by attempting some toe-curling Ashes banter with his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese.
Sunak met with Albanese at a Nato summit in Lithuania on Tuesday, which falls between the third and fourth Ashes Test matches between England and Australia. After discussing more important issues, both politicians sensed an opportunity for some light-hearted back and forth about the cricket.
First the two Prime Ministers posed for a photo, with Sunak holding a photo of Mark Wood and Chris Woakes celebrating the winning moment at Headingley, while Albanese clutched a piece of paper showing the 2-1 scoreline in the visitors’ favour.
