The sun is shining, England's cricketers are still fighting it out with New Zealand at Edgbaston (even if this morning's session is likely to be a brief one!), and the England football team is set to take the field in the long-awaited Euro 2020 Championship this afternoon. In celebration of a "Super Sunday", here are five quick-fire questions to get the day off to a great start.

Questions:

1. It has been a long wait (!), but Euro 2020 is finally here and there is plenty of excitement building ahead of England's first match this afternoon against Croatia. As the England football team prepares to take the knee for racial justice before the kick-off, can you name the England footballer who was named an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours list for his services to racial equality in sport?

2. The BBC described scenes at the 2nd Test match against New Zealand this week as "akin to the world's largest stag-do". Almost 18,000 fans flocked to Edgbaston on the opening day ready to enjoy the occasion and it wasn't long before beer snakes stretched from top to bottom of the Eric Hollies stand and a Gareth Southgate look-a-like (complete with waistcoat) was leading the singalongs. The fact that under 16s were not permitted as the return of spectators was classed as a "pilot event" only made the off-field behaviour even more raucous. On the field, James Anderson became the most capped England Test cricketer of all time, overtaking former captain Alastair Cook. How many Test caps has Anderson now won?

3. A group of Oxford University students caused consternation this week after they voted to remove a portrait of Her Majesty the Queen from their Common Room. The Common Room President insisted he wanted the room to be a "neutral space" with some students concerned that the Queen was "a symbol of recent colonial history", a view that Education Secretary Gavin Williamson described as "absurd". The students were members of the Middle Common Room of which College?

4. As many readers will know, Bloomberg's ‘Pret Index’ has been tracking post-pandemic consumer activity by monitoring in-store transaction volumes from the well-known sandwich chain. The number of skinny lattes, wraps and frappés we consume provides a weekly measure of the recovery as people head back out to the high streets and gradually return to offices. What is clear is that the return to pre-pandemic trading levels is anything but uniform. Can you put the following six locations in their correct order based on their index score (highest to lowest)? The locations are: (a) City of London (b) London's West End (c) London Stations (d) London Airports (e) Regional Towns and (f) Yorkshire.

5. UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, and US President, Joe Biden, met for the first time this week ahead of the G7 Summit in Cornwall. The two leaders were keen to hail the ‘special relationship’ after papering over tensions surrounding Northern Ireland and wrangles about post-Brexit trade, with Biden tweeting that the US-UK relationship is "stronger than ever". Meanwhile EU chiefs are ramping up pressure on Johnson by threatening to impose trade sanctions. Plenty then for the G7 leaders to discuss behind closed doors! What is the name of the Cornwall resort hosting the world leaders at this week's summit? Is it (a) Tintagel Castle (b) Tregenna Castle (c) Highclere Castle or (d) Bamburgh Castle or (e) Downtown Abbey?

Enjoy your Sunday.
