“No sign of rain at the Pallekele tonight. It’s a gorgeous sight at present: setting sun poking out the clouds, the grass banks filling up, Jofra Archer bowling leggies on the practice wicket.

That being said, I ventured out to the Asgiriya Stadium in Kandy this afternoon, which used to host international cricket in these parts and is owned by a school, and that was picturesquely tucked up on a hill. There was a school game going on, with one of the kids bowling some fizzy left-arm spin; Rangana Herath would’ve rated it. Worth a visit if you’re ever here. “
