Sky Sports' commentators swapped words for action by handing out re-usable water bottles to fans on behalf of Sky Ocean Rescue at the third Test between England and South Africa.
Shane Warne and David Lloyd were among the first pundits to show their support for the initiative, which aims to reduce the amount of plastic rubbish in our ocean, by supplying supporters with drinks bottles as they arrived at The Kia Oval.
Sky Ocean Rescue have teamed up with the Oval, which is celebrating its 100th Test, to highlight the damage done to the planet by the estimated five trillion plastic items in the ocean.
England players - including captain Joe Root and Stuart Broad - have thrown their weight behind the cause, which is urging people to take action in their everyday lives to use less plastic.
"There's too much plastic knocking about," said Lloyd, "so we're here to raise awareness and keep plastic out of the oceans."
Speaking to one fan, Lloyd added: "You can only put water in there, old chap! You'll find 20 water stations around the ground."
The Oval is committed to becoming a plastic-free venue and has installed those 20 new water fountains around the ground to encourage more people to re-fill their water bottles.
"We're challenging our ticket holders to make simple behavioural changes that will have a dramatic impact on ocean health," explained Kia Oval CEO, Richard Gould.
"We hope by raising the issues with cricket fans we can work together to reduce the use of single-use plastics within our grounds."
It is estimated that eight million tons of plastic - none of which decomposes - end up in the ocean every year and that by 2050 all of that plastic in the ocean could weigh more than all the fish.
