In photos: Cricket fans descend on Leeds for England's World Cup clash

World Cup fever gripped Leeds on Friday (21/06) as England and Sri Lanka rolled into town.

The two sides turned up at Headingley Stadium to do battle in the latest Cricket World Cup match, which is the first of four matches scheduled to be played in Leeds.

As expected Headingley was buzzing with fans from both sides prior to the match, and plenty of spectators turned out in team colours for the occasion.

One person in attendance was former Leeds United striker Brian Deane, who looked relaxed chatting to fans and signing autographs!

Take a look at our gallery of photos giving you a taste of the atmosphere below:
