Britain's Duke and Duchess of Cambridge played in a charity cricket match with underprivileged children in Mumbai on Sunday, the first day of a week-long tour of India that will include a trip to the isolated Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan.
Prince William and Catherine flew into India's financial capital and met children from Magic Bus, Childline and Doorstep - three non-governmental organisations that work with children.
They took an open-top bus tour and played cricket with a team from a local cricket academy and children supported by the three charities.
Catherine faced a few deliveries from Indian cricket great Sachin Tendulkar. She struck one ball only to be caught out, leading to a lively exchange between William and the fielders.
The royal couple, travelling without their children George and Charlotte, were due to attend a Bollywood-inspired charity gala on Sunday night.
Their tour takes in New Delhi, where they will lunch with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, visit a wildlife park in Assam famed for its one-horned rhinos, and Bhutan.
Their tour ends back in India next Saturday at the Taj Mahal, revisiting the scene of a solo - and much photographed - visit in 1992 by William's mother, the late Princess Diana, to the monument to love.
