This is the moment cricket fans in England set themselves the challenge to see how many objects they could balance on another supporter - while he was SLEEPING.

The footage shows a handful of fans at Essex's County Ground deciding to play a prank on the unsuspecting fan while he was having a snooze.

They appear to be testing their balance ability in seeing how many drinks could be stacked on the sleeping supporter's head without him waking up.

Other supporters watching the unofficial game appeared to be amazed when the objects hadn't fallen off - with one spectator holding his mouth with his hands.
