India, South Africa T20 match halted

Crowd trouble forced India's T20 meeting with South Africa to be temporarily stopped on Monday evening.

The match had to be halted on a couple of occasions after fans threw bottles onto the field of play.

India were all out for 92 in Cuttack in the second game of their three-match series, with each suspension lasting for more than 20 minutes during the visitors' reply.

English official Chris Broad called for organisers to improve security measures before allowing play to resume, and once proceedings did get back underway, South Africa reached their victory target in 17 overs.
