  1. Ind 50-0

    Almost 30 minutes after the last delivery, we're back under way.

    No overs have been lost.

  2. Rohit Sharma looks like he wants to put the DJ in a headlock.

    They can't turn Billie Jean off.

  3. Ind 48-0

    Now they don't seem able to turn Michael Jackson off the PA system...

  4. It looks like the leccy in Rohit Sharma has done their job.

    The players are back out in the middle.

    Here is the offending floodlight. It's going to take a big ladder...

    Clearly the Power Play is over....

    Alan, Nailsea

  7. Still we wait for a resumption.

    A few of you are asking what the DLS par score is. That doesn't come into it until the 20-over mark.

    I still want to find the electrician reading this page who is closest to Cuttack.

    Pretty sure I saw McCullum with a pair of wire cutters earlier.

    Clearly the bank of experience that Rohit Sharma has allowed him to be free. If it was an inexperienced England player coming under that pressure, he'd be trying to hit all the wrong shots and overthinking it.

    Re 12:49, that would be 55 rupees for the meter.

    Mike, Morecambe

    Normally I'd recommend switching it off and back on again, but seeing as that's the problem...

    Sixes in overs 1-10 in ODIs since the start of 2023:

    • Australia - 78
    • Rohit Sharma - 57
    • South Africa - 37
    • England, Sri Lanka - 34
    • West Indies - 30
    • Bangladesh - 22
    • New Zealand, Pakistan - 16

    Australia are the only international team to have hit more sixes than Rohit Sharma in this phase of the innings.

  12. Matt Prior
    Ex-England wicketkeeper on TNT Sports

    We said at the break that the start for England will be crucial. They needed a good start and that hasn't been the case.

    Rohit Sharma, some of the shots that he's made have been beautiful.

  13. If you're an electrician, please do get in touch.

    We need you.

  14. Which electrician reading this is closest to Cuttack? We may be in need of assistance.

  15. Floodlight failure stops play

    Ind 48-0

    It looks like everyone is going to leave the field now.

    I didn't think I'd write this. Floodlight failure has stopped play with India 48-0 after 6.1 overs.

  16. Some of England's players are walking off.

    Rohit is deep in conversation with the umpires. The other five floodlights are probably providing enough light to continue but Rohit seems to be suggesting the flashes are a distraction.

  17. The crowd have turned to their phone torches to try and get this game back under way.

    England might be finding a way to avoid defeat here.

    Charlie: Think we should just save the time & effort and say India win by 7 wickets

  19. We always get told someone needs to put 50p in the meter in these situations.

    I'd be interested to know the actual solution.

  20. Ind 48-0

    Play restarts for one delivery but then the light goes out again.

    Rohit shakes his head. It's the fact it's flickering that is the issue.
