The temporary grandstand at the Galle International Stadium collapsed during the first Test between Sri Lanka and Australia, with strong winds and heavy rain delaying play on day two.
The stand was full on day one of the match but, due to the delayed start, nobody was in there when it collapsed. A glass panel also fell and smashed on the floor right in front of a marquee where tour groups had been sat the day before.
The rain began before play was due to start on day two, with ground staff managing to get eh playing surface and outfield covered. However, metal sheets on the roof of the temporary stand were blown off by strong gusts of wind coming from the coastline.
