The technical error - caused by an issue with microphones - lasted almost three minutes.

When everything resumed as normal, Fletcher explained: "Apologies for the early technical problems here.

"We can't quite get the microphones to work inside the stadium. German technology and all that. Expected it to be better.

"Apologies sent though from Leipzig."
