Groundsmen cover the field as rain washed out the second day’s play of the second Test match between India and Bangladesh at the Green Park Cricket Stadium in Kanpur on Saturday — AFP KANPUR, India, Sept 28 (AFP): Rain washed out day two of the second Test between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur on Saturday without a ball being bowled.
Only 35 overs were possible on the opening day with Bangladesh 107-3 after being asked to bat by India, who lead the two-match series 1-0.
Morning showers brought out the covers with further intermittent rain and cloudy skies causing officials to call off play at 2pm local time (0830 GMT).
More downpours were forecast for Sunday.
Earlier, bad light took the players off the ground nine overs after lunch on Friday with Mominul Haque, on 40, Mushfiqur Rahim, on six, batting. Heavy downpours followed on a day which started one hour late due to overnight rain, with the ground covered and officials called stumps after just 166 minutes of play.
