Alastair Cook has a very serious mission today as he takes on West Indies at Lord's (not single-handedly, of course, although you never know - ah, the confidence of youth). But a week ago he was plunged into mirth at Chelmsford as he posed with two beauties, Emma and Natalie, as part of a sports calendar for the CHASE Ben Hollioake Fund.

His England team-mates may snigger, but Mrs Flintoff may not be so amused - Freddie's lined up to appear in a shoot later in the year.
