Overview

• Rohit Sharma hit three sixes early in his innings, surpassing Chris Gayle to become the second-highest six-hitter in ODI history, with only Shahid Afridi ahead of him.
• India were at 48/0 in 6.1 overs, with Rohit Sharma on 29 and Shubman Gill on 17, when play was paused due to a floodlight failure at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack.
• The floodlight issue caused a 35-minute delay, attributed to a generator malfunction, during which fans lit up the stadium with phone flashlights.
• England posted a total of 304, with Joe Root (69), Ben Duckett (65), and Liam Livingstone (41) contributing key runs, while Ravindra Jadeja took three wickets for India.
• The incident raised concerns about the preparedness of the Barabati Stadium, which was hosting its first ODI in over four years, as logistical issues also led to crowd management problems.
