**Cuttack, India:** The second One Day International (ODI) match between India and England in Cuttack was suspended due to a floodlight failure. The match was halted after 6.1 overs of India’s innings, with the hosts chasing a 305-run target set by England. Rohit Sharma (29*) and Shubman Gill (17*) were at the crease when the lights went out for the second time in the match.
Earlier, England, winning the toss and electing to bat, posted a challenging 305 runs thanks to strong contributions from Joe Root (69), Ben Duckett (65), and Liam Livingstone (41). Ravindra Jadeja took three wickets for India, while debutant Varun Chakravarthy claimed one.
Following the second floodlight failure, both teams left the field. The resumption time is uncertain. The incident has raised concerns about the flow of the game and potential impact on the match’s outcome. India currently leads the three-match series 1-0 and needs a victory to clinch the series.
