Sat Sep 28 03:04:10 UTC 2024: ## Rain Threatens to Derail Second Test Between India and Bangladesh
**Kanpur, India:** The second Test match between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur hangs precariously in the balance as rain continues to plague the match. After a rain-affected first day, Day 2 is also expected to see a delayed start and intermittent showers throughout the day.
Bangladesh, resuming at 107/3, will be hoping for their veterans like Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan to build on their early resilience against the Indian bowlers. Mominul Haque, who scored 40 runs on Day 1, will be a key figure for the visitors.
India, on the other hand, will be looking to capitalize on the overcast conditions and make up for lost time by taking quick wickets. The team has already been impacted by rain, losing 55 overs in the first day alone.
The pitch, while not overly difficult for batting, is expected to offer assistance to the bowlers with overcast conditions. Akash Deep, who picked up two crucial wickets on Day 1, will be a key weapon for India.
Meanwhile, veteran Indian batsman Virat Kohli is just 129 runs away from reaching 9000 Test runs. He will be hoping to reach this milestone in the ongoing series.
The weather forecast predicts rain throughout the day, with a thunderstorm expected in some parts of Kanpur. The match is likely to be delayed, and the result remains uncertain as both teams fight against the elements.
