Would translate in the US as "The players leave the field again at about 4 for dinner. They then resume play 'till about 6 o'clock." I think this is one thing that confuses Americans. The tea break is a break to eat as they've been playing all day. Since noone (that I know of at least) in the US refers to the last meal of the day as tea it feels like the players are taking a break for a "spot of tea."

I'm guessing most here know that but you will see comedians say stuff like "I can't get behind a sport where the players take a break in the middle to drink tea."
