If the court closes the evidence, the respondent would be in trouble.

i donot agree he would be in much trouble. In the 'interest of justice' one opportunity would again be awarded subject to cost by the Court.
Let the Court close and if he applies for cross donot go into filing of reply of it etc. and simply give no objection subject to it as last and final oppertunity and heavy cost

If your advocate is not performing to your satisfaction and is delaying the cross examination, you have every right to change the advocate.
