Rihanna watches West Indies play Sri Lanka in Cricket World Cup at Durham

Rihanna took a little downtime to take in the cricket in County Durham.

The Barbadian singer, 31, was spotted watching Sri Lanka v West Indies at The Riverside Durham.

She enjoyed a drink in the sunshine and smiled and laughed, despite an uninspired performance by the West Indies in the ICC Cricket World Cup group stage match in Chester-le-Street.

Sri Lanka shrugged off their World Cup disappointment as a century from Avishka Fernando carried them to 338 for six.

She remained in good spirits as she watched a lacklustre fielding display from the Windies, who won the toss under cloudy skies in blustery conditions, only for Sri Lanka openers Dimuth Karunaratne and Kusal Perera to lay a solid foundation.

The Umbrella singer looked summery in white, with a light jacket and sunglasses and a gold cross necklace, with her hair in long red braids.

The superstar also posed with a large West Indies flag in a photo shared by the International Cricket Council.

A post on Twitter said: "Look who's at #SLvWI to Rally 'round the West Indies! Watch out for rihanna's new single, Shut Up And Cover Drive."

The West Indies team also shared their excitement to be playing in the presence of the singer, tweeting: "Look who came to #Rally with the #MenInMaroon today! Hey rihanna."
