Video: Cricket match instantly improved by MONKEY INVASION!!!

If there were guaranteed monkey appearances at every game, there would be a hell of a lot more cricket fans.

"Play has been postponed on account of primates" is a phrase that is sadly rarely used in a sporting context... or any context, for that matter.

However, on Day 3 of the first Test between Sri Lanka and India, it could have been legitimately used by the commentator,  when a monkey wreaked havoc stormed the pitch and brought the high-octane, thrill-a-second cricket action temporarily to a halt.

Play eventually resumed, but unfortunately the show went on without the furry little creature.
