|

Ukraine and France's Group D match in Donetsk at Euro 2012 has been suspended due to an electrical storm.

Just three minutes into play at the Donbass Arena, Dutch referee beckoned the 22 players back down the tunnel as the weather worsened in the Ukrainian city.

Lightning struck during the French national anthem, as British broadcasters ITV1 began to experience problems with transmission.

The game will resume at 6pm, but if the match is abandoned, it will be replayed tomorrow.
