Sky Sport's coverage of the fifth and final Black Caps-India one-dayer was interrupted by a power outage.

A power issue at a Bay of Plenty venue disrupted Sky’s broadcast of the Black Caps’ final One-Day International against India for more than half an hour.

Images from Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui cut out about 4.15pm today, with India 69-3 after being sent in to bat when play started at 3pm.

After displaying a “sorry for the interruption” message, Sky began showing Indian Premier League highlights.

Just over 15 minutes later, coverage from Bay Oval returned, but only from a fixed camera at one end and without commentary or graphics.

The Black Caps said on social media that they were aware of the broadcasting issues impacting coverage of the fifth One-Day International (ODI).

“Broadcast staff are working hard to fix the issue and resume full coverage as soon as possible.”

Commentator Ian Smith said: “We humbly apologise for the disruption in our coverage.

“Just a complete loss of power and our technicians have been working overtime to get it up and running for you.”
