The  band set up in the "Sanga Fan Zone" were also asked to lower their  volume, but continued to play during the match.  On Sunday, the fourth umpire was seen directing a papare band in  the stand near the tennis court to first lower their volume, then stop  playing altogether. The band then took to playing only during the gaps  between overs, and in the drinks breaks.  Umpires had also directed the papare band to stop playing on the fourth day during Pakistan's Test at the P Sara in June.  On that occasion, Misbah-ul-Haq was seen complaining to the umpire  about the music coming from the same stand. The on-field umpire  immediately gestured to the band to 'kill the noise'. None of the India players seem to have had any issue with the music  during this series, however, and the team management confirmed that they  had made no complaint. The ICC has not officially stated why the band  was asked to stop on Sunday. The most likely explanation is that the  umpires have requested a quieter atmosphere, in order to better hear the  action, and discern nicks and edges. At least four wrong caught-behind  or bat-pad decisions had been given in Galle, when no music had been  playing. </blockquote>
