Spain and Belgium have become the latest sporting nations to take part in the mannequin challenge - with the likes of Eden Hazard and Nacho Monreal getting involved in the social media craze.

The mannequin challenge has swept through the worlds of sport and celebrity ever since it was started by a group of high school students in America last month - with Borussia Dortmund and tennis stars Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic all taking part.

England seized their chance to get in on the act following Jamie Vardy's goal against Spain on Tuesday, with Raheem Sterling and Theo Walcott joining the Leicester striker in his 'standing-still' celebrations at Wembley.

Spain, however, managed to claw their way back into the friendly contest with two late goals and, after the game, the team showed off their own version with the likes of Arsenal defender Monreal and Chelsea's Azpilicueta all involved.

Not to be outdone by other nations, though, Belgium took part in the mannequin challenge following their 8-1 thrashing of Estonia on Sunday with Hazard, his Chelsea teammates Michy Batshuayi and Thibaut Courtois all featuring.

See Spain and Belgium's superb attempts at the mannequin challenge above and below respectively.
