The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge showed off their cricketing skills while playing Pakistan's national sport today as they laughed while going into bat and bowl during their five-day tour of the country.
Their Royal Highnesses excitedly joined in a match with children who are participating in the British Council's DOSTI programme - Dosti means friendship in Urdu - at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore.
They met some of Pakistan's cricketing legends as they learned about the programme promoting sport as an integral part of child development, encouraging social integration, increased self-esteem and skills development.
William and the duchess both took turns hitting some soft balls in a game. There were cheers as the duke hit a six, while Kate was caught out twice after half a dozen balls - but they were deliberately dropped by the catchers. Read more from The Daily Mail.
