Joe Root at the wicket

Again today into Colombo to go to the 1st day of the test match.  didn't have tickets so hoped we would be OK.  The cost of the tickets were 5000 rupees £25 or 300 rupees £1.50 - no in between!!  Sat on the grass slope along we many others from different nationalities.  Great day, very warm but enjoyable.  Unfortunately Joe was out soon after the photo.
