Cuttack: The second ODI between India and England resumed after a half-an-hour stoppage due to a malfunctioning of one of the floodlight towers at Barabati Stadium.
No overs were reduced, and India are still chasing 305 to win the match and seal the three-match series, having triumphed by 4 wickets in the opener at Nagpur.
The interruption didn’t affect Rohit Sharma. The India skipper, who found his rhythm back after many months, moved from 29 when play was stopped to 50 in quick time.
A boundary off leggie Adil Rashid brought up the India captain’s 58th half-century in ODIs off just 50 balls. His knock has so far included 4 fours and 4 sixes — all superbly struck.
India progressed to 77/0 at the end of 10 overs with Rohit on 53 and Shubman Gill on 22.
