Rain Delays Start of Third Day in India-Bangladesh Test
The third day of the second Test between India and Bangladesh at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur has been delayed due to a wet outfield caused by overnight rain. The match was scheduled to resume at 9:30 AM IST, but the start has been pushed back to noon.
The outfield was deemed unfit for play after an inspection by the umpires. The rain has also prevented any practice sessions for both teams.
Bangladesh will resume their first innings at 107 for 3, with Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim at the crease. India’s bowlers, led by Akash Deep (2/34) and Ravichandran Ashwin (1/22), will be looking to make early inroads into the Bangladesh batting lineup.
The entire second day of the Test was washed out without a ball being bowled. Only 35 overs were possible on the opening day, with Bangladesh losing three wickets.
India are leading the two-match series 1-0, having won the first Test in Chennai by 280 runs. A win in Kanpur would give India an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.
