**Kanpur, India:** The second Test match between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur has been marred by persistent rain, with Day 2 completely washed out. The downpour, which began on Friday, continued throughout Saturday morning, forcing the players to remain indoors. No ball was bowled on the second day, much to the disappointment of fans and players alike.
Bangladesh, who had resumed their first innings at 107-3, will be hoping the weather improves soon as they seek to capitalize on a relatively batting-friendly pitch. India, on the other hand, will be looking to make up for lost time and take quick wickets to gain a foothold in the match.
The first day of the Test was also affected by rain, with only 35 overs bowled. Despite the interruptions, India’s bowlers managed to extract some movement in the overcast conditions, with Akash Deep claiming two early wickets.
With a forecast predicting more rain over the weekend, both teams face the prospect of a draw. The match is crucial for India as they look to maintain their World Test Championship points tally.
The focus now shifts to the weather forecast, with hopes that the sun will eventually shine in Kanpur, allowing for a resumption of play and a thrilling finish to the second Test.
