Roddick halted by bad light

Number two seed Andy Roddick could not see off the challenge of Italian Daniele Bracciali before bad light called an end to his match on Centre Court, with the American leading by two sets to one.

The American, runner-up here last year, looked to be cruising to a straight-forward victory after securing a 7-5 6-3 lead in the final match of the day.
