The post dinner break session in the inaugural Duleep Trophy Day/Night encounter between India Red and India Green was delayed by 17 minutes due to floodlight malfunction at the stadium here.
The post dinner break session was supposed to start at 7:01 pm but it couldn't be started before 7:18 pm as bulbs in most of the floodlight towers were not illuminated.

There was further embarrassment in store for UPCA as light in two of the towers, installed by former India captain Kapil Dev's company Dev Musco, completely went off at 7:56pm as the players were forced to leave the field.
The arrangements made by UPCA for the match, including practice pitches and bald pitches in the field, have been pretty deplorable.
