Again the lights have gone off. This will be frustrating for the players. Rohit shakes his head

Saqib Mahmood to Shubman Gill, 1 run, short of length delivery outside off stump, Gill dabs to deep backward point

One of the floodlights has gone off. Flickered and then went off. England won't mind this break because it will break the rhythm for the batters. They are trying to fix that floodlight and it's up now

Huzaifa : "I mean if Iron Man says so then it must be true, right?"

Lakshman: "Looks like the stars are aligning for Rohit but the lights arent. "

"That floodlight tower's gone off again. Cuttack's got about six of those things. One of them doesn't seem to like cricket very much"

The crowd have taken it upon themselves to help with visibility by turning on the torches on their phones

Meanwhile, most of the people in the crowd have turned their mobile lights on. Well, the floodlights are back on and we are ready to roll again. Oh no, and just as I type, the entire tower of those floodlights have gone off. Rohit is having a chat with the umpires. Looks like he is keen to carry on.

There's a convo going on between Rohit, Saqib and the umpires. Is he trying to get the officials to restart the match without that tower on? It's not really that hard to see. In any case, this delay's already gone on for more than 10 minutes.

18:23 Local Time, 12:53 GMT, 18:23 IST: The players are walking off now! This will be frustrating especially for Gill and Rohit. A slight delay in proceedings. Let's hope the floodlights are fixed as soon as possible.

Abhinav: "The desperation of Rohit was so visible."

6.23pm And now the players are leaving the field. Three India batters are walking back to the dugout - because Virat Kohli was in full kit by the boundary line, no doubt geed up by seeing his best buds looking in fine form
