Tennis fans couldn't help but point out the similarities between the pair's respective light-tan get-ups.
Broad was ribbed over the outfit clash during the second Test between India and England at Edgbaston on Wednesday, with Sky Sports commentator and ex-England captain Nasser Hussain laughing as he said: "You copied him, haven't you?"
Broad replied with a grin on his face: "I actually think he has copied me."

Broad then revealed he and the newly knighted Beckham had the most "awkward" of handshakes during the lunch break.
He recalled: 'When he walked into lunch, he put his hand out to shake hands.
"And he's had some surgery, big sort of plaster cast or something on his hand, and it was a bit awkward."
Broad was wary of having a firm handshake with the former Manchester United and Real Madrid man as he recently had surgery to remove a 23-year-old screw in his arm.

He continued: "I was sort of like, 'How firm a handshake do I go here?'
'So I ended up sort of just doing like a bit of a tappy handshake with him, which was a little bit awkward.

Chris Woakes rues ‘pretty frustrating' close calls as England denied by India and umpires on opening day
Chris Woakes cursed the fine margins of cricket's review system after the opening day of England 's second Rothesay Test against India hinged on a couple of borderline decisions at Edgbaston. India edged an attritional battle to finish on 310 for five, thanks in large part to an unbeaten 114 from captain Shubman Gill, but could have found themselves in trouble early on. Woakes bowled KL Rahul in an outstanding opening spell but was unlucky not to add Yashasvi Jaiswal and Karun Nair, who both survived lbw shouts by the skin of their teeth. Ball-tracking suggested both deliveries would have clipped the bails but, with Bangladeshi official Sharfuddoula Saikat unmoved, each appeal was struck down on 'umpire's call'. Jaiswal went from 12 to 87 after being spared, with Nair adding another 26 following his reprieve. Woakes, whose usual happy-go-lucky demeanour gave way to visible annoyance as the ill-fortune mounted up, said: 'There's probably been a few (grumpy) moments over the years, but that's right up there. Emotions run high when you're desperate to do well for the team. 'It was a pretty frustrating morning. We could easily have had them 30 for three. We thought if that pitch was going to do a bit it would first up and I think that could have been justified. 'You look at it and had those decisions gone our way the day looks completely different. A great day for us would have been 300 for seven.' While Woakes remains supportive of the the referral system, he felt Nair had been particularly lucky after shouldering arms to a ball that jagged back in at him and would have grazed the top of off stump. 'I need to be careful because I've had some go my way over the years and, in general, DRS (has) been good for the game because a lot more right decisions are given,' he said. 'The only thing I would like to change is if a batter decides to leave the ball and it's hitting the stumps, I think that should be out, regardless if it's just clipping.' The 36-year-old all-rounder sprung the same trap later on, persuading Nitish Kumar Reddy to offer no stroke at another ball that angled in and this time hit the stumps. Woakes, whose figures of two for 59 did not do him justice, savoured a strong performance on home turf and spared a thought for his late father, who died last year. 'He's always on my mind. He loved his cricket and he would have loved this week,' he said. 'Across a career you don't get that many games at your home venue and is my fourth Test here. I've got a love for Warwickshire that goes deep – it's all I've ever known. I was here before this stand was. 'There's friends and family here and people behind the scenes who support you through the good times as well as the bad.'

Oliver Tarvet's Wimbledon battle with Carlos Alcaraz flies flag for US college route to tennis
Play the ball, not the player, said Ollie Tarvet before the biggest match of his life against reigning Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz. The flaw was that the ball came at the world No 733 faster than ever before, with more topspin revs and at a more devilish angle. It was still the same sport as his wins on the US college scene in front of a few dozen spectators. And yet this was almost another game entirely, like how laying cheese on bread under the grill is, only technically, cooking. Alcaraz's 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 victory came in two parts. The first set felt like a regular muggle playing tennis against the world No 2 on Centre Court. Never before had Tarvet faced a player who combines such extreme levels of speed and spin with unerring accuracy, such that Alcaraz's groundstrokes rushed over the net before dipping into far-flung corners of the court, hitting 38 winners in all. 'I've played against really good players before but not quite the level of Alcaraz,' Tarvet said. 'As soon as I dropped to 95 per cent focus, I lost the game. When I missed the first serve, the guy's up on the baseline [for the second serve] and it's intimidating, he's ready to make you run.' Alcaraz generates around 3,200 rpm on his forehand compared to an average of 2,700 rpm on the ATP Tour, he averages 78mph from the baseline compared to a Tour average of 75mph, and his shot quality is rated as 8.62 by the ATP's data bods, above Djokovic (8.54) and behind only Jannik Sinner (8.80). The result was that routine groundstrokes stunned the Centre Court crowd, like a moment midway through the first set when he cracked a cross-court missile which brought audible gasps. 'He's so effortless,' Tarvet said. 'It doesn't feel like he's hitting the ball that hard but it comes through so quick and so heavy.' Alcaraz produced moments of magic, like at the start of the second set when he whipped the ball around the net post and on to the line – Tarvet's challenge gave the crowd the chance to appreciate Alcaraz's accuracy on the big screen. Yet the latter two sets of his victory were different. Tarvet's eyes began to calibrate, adjusting to the flight of the ball in the same way players adjust from clay to grass. He broke serve in the second set, and again in the third as if to prove it was no fluke. How many Centre Court debutants wilt in the spotlight against great champions? The 21-year-old blossomed in the afternoon sunshine, fist-pumping his way around the court, each point a little confirmation of what he already suspected: that he could cope out here. It proved Tarvet is far better than his lowly world ranking suggests. He has deliberately delayed his ascent to the professional ranks by taking the college route, enrolling at the University of San Diego on a communications and marketing course in order to mature in the nurturing, high-tech US system which shaped fellow Britons Cameron Norrie and Jacob Fearnley. Along the way he has won college tournaments and ITF Tour titles, the third tier of men's tennis, honing his game in a sophisticated training environment against capable opposition. It is a route not commonly trodden by elite European players, who tend to get out on the professional circuit far quicker. But it offers access to elite coaching and facilities, and a place to grow physically and mentally without the financial pressures that come with travelling around the pro tour, even if the college system's draconian rules mean Tarvet can scoop only £10,000 of his £99,000 winnings for reaching the second round. US college sport is a popular choice with European golfers, helping to mould Jon Rahm and Ludvig Aberg, and it is increasingly showing itself as road to professional tennis. Norrie says he got 'stronger, smarter, and learned how to compete at a high level consistently' at Texas Christian University, while coaches extol the virtues of their programmes. 'A lot of European kids are technically sound but not physically ready at 18,' said former Georgia Tech & Florida coach Bryan Shelton. 'College gives them a runway without sacrificing competition.' On only his second pro tour match, Tarvet rose to the occasion, playing with his chest out and chin up, roaring at hard-fought winners and vital holds of serve. He started to get a foothold late in the first set and then broke the Alcaraz serve to rouse the crowd, even if the threat of an upset was snuffed out a couple of minutes later when the Spaniard summoned Deity Mode to immediately break back. The third set was tighter still and afterwards Alcaraz embraced Tarvet at the net, congratulating his opponent and telling him to keep working hard. 'The level we can see in college is pretty high,' Alcaraz said, pointing out the record number, 26, of US college students and graduates playing at Wimbledon this year. 'It's his second match on the tour and I just loved his game to be honest.' So perhaps it is no surprise that Tarvet will not be dropping out of college just yet, even if a career in the professional game is calling. 'Nothing's changed based on the last 10 days. I still want to go back to University of San Diego, it's been incredible. I think I have a few things, a few creases in my game I need to iron out. I think if you give me a year, especially with the coaches that we have at USD, I think I'll be in a much better spot.'
