India, July 6 -- At three separate intervals during the India-Sri Lanka match on Saturday, a light propeller aircraft flew directly over the ground in Headingley carrying on its tail-banner different messages of protest-the first two occasions pertaining to Kashmir. The first of those Cessna 182P planes hummed over the fielding Indians at 10:45am local time, the appended message reading: "Justice for Kashmir." About 45 minutes later, the second one flew carrying a banner: "India stop genocide & free Kashmir."

The politically-charged campaigning occurred again when India's openers were busy making short work of Sri Lanka's total. This time, the Cessna made four or five loops, and the banner read: "Help end mob lynchings in India".
