This looks like being an 'I was there' occasion for England supporters, who number more than 6,000 in Galle.
Andy Thompson from Barmy Travel first came to Galle 16 years ago and he explained the attraction.
“What a wonderful destination," he says. "You’ve got a heritage site in front of us, there’s a fantastic atmosphere and you’re right on top of the action. It is one of the favourite places you go to”
You may remember in the build-up to this game there were stories about England fans being overcharged for the match, but Andy says they are trying to put that behind them now.
"We’ve tried our hardest to get some concessions and we did. They made day five free which is probably now irrelevant, but we did get a few things from Sri Lanka cricket which is fair enough. We made our point and we hope in the future they’ll work with us.”
