The start of the second day of the second Test between India and Bangladesh on Green Park Stadium in Kanpur was postponed due to bad weather.
Shortly before the scheduled lunch, the Indian team left for the hotel in the team bus.
The opening day’s play was also affected by rain, with the rain and wet conditions allowing only 35 overs to be bowled. Bangladesh reached 107 for 3 after which no further play was possible. Mominul Haque batted on 40 and Mushfiqur Rahim on 6.
For India, who won the toss and elected to field, right-arm pacer Akash Deep (2 for 34) took two wickets. He dismissed openers Zakir Hasan (0) and Shadman Islam (24), which reduced Bangladesh to 29/2. This followed a 51-run battle between captain Najmul Hossain Shanto and Haque, which was broken by Ravichandran Ashwin. The veteran off-spinner dismissed Shanto for 31.
The hosts went into this Test leading the two-match series 1-0 after winning the first match in Chennai by 280 runs.
India are currently at the top of the World Test Cup table. The series against Bangladesh will be followed by New Zealand arriving in India for a three-Test tour.
