Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar's son Arjun took part in England's practice session, on Wednesday, ahead of the second Ashes Test against Australia at Lord's.

And the youngster looked like a keen learner.

The 15-year-old left-arm medium-pacer bowled to England all-rounder Ben Stokes and received advice from England bowling coach Ottis Gibson.

After bowling, Arjun sat around and watched as the English players went about their practice.

Looks like there is plenty of talent (and the right genes) in this young lad, but can junior Tendulkar match his dad's feats?

Well, only time will tell!
