Chandler Cunningham-South has been a handful in the maul for England.

He steals another ball from a USA line-out. They can't rely on their set plays.

Thanks for the intel Martin and Veronica. Fingers crossed we don't have any more interruptions.

It gets a little scrappy in the middle of the park, started by Chris Hilsenbeck bursting through the line for USA.

It culminates in a penalty for USA after a high tackle on Toby Fricker. Hilsenbeck finds touch just short of the halfway line.

The floodlights are on at the stadium.

England are eager to take the line-out promptly and quickly start shifting the ball from left to right. However, another handling error hands USA a scrum and a chance to reset.

This is relentless from England. Wave after wave of attack.

But USA hold firm thanks to Dominic Besag, who forces the knock-on from England as they look for the try-line.

USA need a big clearing kick from this scrum.

Pono Davis commits another error at the scrum to hand England a penalty. George Ford finds the corner and Curtis Langdon takes the line-out from five metres out.

England shift the play right but the ball pops out over the tryline. USA winger Rufus McClean cleans up and the ball is pumped downfield.

England come again.

28:28 is on the clock as we restart. That's quite pleasing to look at.

We'll get back under way with a scrum and USA have the feed.

England lead USA 14-0 in Washington DC.

Curtis Langdon and Luke Northmore have scored England's two tries, with George Ford two from two from the kicking tee.

Alex Dombrandt has had a try chalked off for obstruction.

There are players warming up on the field.

But it's still overcast over Washington DC.

In case you missed it, the British and Irish Lions beat Australia 27-19 on Saturday to take a 1-0 series lead in Brisbane.

You can read Tom English's report from the Suncorp Stadium here.

The big screen in the ground is showing a restart time of 19:21 local time. That's 00:21 BST for those of us back in England.

So play will restart in about 10 minutes.

England lead USA 14-0 after 29 minutes.

We haven't heard anything about when play is going to restart.

The players went off at around 23:40 BST.

In between lightning strikes, we've had 29 minutes of play in Washington DC and England currently lead 14-0.

USA had an early look at England's tryline with a line-out deep in the opposition 22.

However, England successfully stole the ball and a couple of minutes later, USA were down to 14 following a deliberate knock-on from Chris Hilsenbeck.

England made the most of their man advantage, with Curtis Langdon and Luke Northmore crossing the line. George Ford converted both times.

And moments before play was brought to a halt, the tourists thought they had a third try, with Alex Dombrandt bursting out from behind the maul and dotting the ball down. However, it was chalked off for obstruction.

As I understand it, there has to 30 minutes without a lightning strike before play can resume.

That would give us a restart time of around 00:10 BST.

The players are being pulled from the field as there's more lightning in the area.

We did say there were some ominous dark clouds hovering around at kick-off.

The match is already running an hour behind schedule.
