Children play cricket in Lahore along Badshahi Mosque
The fifth largest mosque in the world, "Badshahi Mosque" as the backdrop. There was not one but three umpires standing near the bowler.

The mosque is said to date from 1659 - 1668-69 and is also known as the Chinianwali Masjid because of the extraordinary mosaic tile work (Kashi Kari) for which the reign of Shah Jahan was famous. It was completed during Aurangzeb's reign.
