Floodlight glitch disrupts second ODI for 35 minutes

ROHIT Sharma and Saqib Mahmood were in the middle of the Barabati Stadium, Cuttack along with the on-field umpires. The rest of the England team had already started walking off the field. For the second time in five minutes, one of the floodlights at the venue had malfunctioned leading to a stoppage of play during the seventh over of India's 305-run chase against England in the second ODI on Sunday.

First, the lights went off from 6.15 PM till 6.20 PM, and just when Mahmood was about to bowl, the lights went off again. This time, it did not turn back on till 6.45 PM, leading to a cumulative stoppage of almost 35 minutes. It is understood that the generator that supplies power to the particular floodlight malfunctioned, resulting in the tripping of the lights.
