IND vs BAN 2nd Test Highlights: Play called off for second consecutive day in Kanpur due to wet conditions

India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Live Updates: Only frustration, long wait and just groundsmen's failed attempts of clearing excess water off the covers were the highlights of the second day of the second Test between India and Bangladesh. Actually, that's the only movement happened on the field on Day 2 in Kanpur as bad weather and poor drainage facilities didn't let even a single ball be bowled. The forecast is better for the third day but the start time might be delayed again if at all the play happens, given there is a prediction of a morning shower. The stop-start nature of this Test match will continue on Sunday as well. But hopefully, there's some 'start'. Follow all the live updates of the IND vs BAN 2nd Test, Day 3-

    Pitch Report

    The ground's soggy. No sunlight for it to dry. Lots of soggy patches. Black soil surface - it has been under the hessian. It has underlying moisture. The Indian bowlers will enjoy bowling. It is a bit damp. There are patches where the bowlers will tempt the batters to play shots. Not easy to bat, especially in the first hour whenever the play starts, say Murali Kartik and Athar Ali Khan.

    Main cover over pitch removed

    GOOD NEWS!!! The main cover on the pitch has been removed. Not sure why the inspection is scheduled at 10 AM but it could be related to the conditions in the outfield. Chances of play resuming are high as of now but rain should stay away. Fingers crossed!!

    Will play resume on time?

    Currently, there is no direct update from the stadium or the BCCI. But local fans on social media are giving some hope as they say the sun is out in Kanpur. But there is a forecast for rain around 10 AM today. Let us keep our fingers crossed for an on-time resumption as 98 overs are scheduled for today.

    If rain forces a draw, then what happens to WTC scenario

    Bangladesh will need a miracle to push for a spot in the World Test Championship final if Kanpur Test is drawn given they already lost the series opener in Chennai. For India, it doesn't have dire consequences but it does affect their chances as for them to reach the final, they'll not only have to whitewash New Zealand at home 3-0 but also win a couple of Tests against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

    If not the Test match, BCCI kept everyone busy with several announcements

    Since the second day's play was suspended, the BCCI kept everyone busy on Saturday with the squad announcement for the T20I series against Bangladesh and the IPL 2025 retention rules and regulations. You can check out full coverage of both the events on India TV - squad, changes in the team, IPL retention rules, rules regarding overseas players and more.

    A better forecast on Day 3 in Kanpur

    There is a rain prediction from 9 AM to around 11 AM as per AccuWeather in Kanpur but the rest of the day looks clear on the radar. That was the case on Saturday too, however, the outfield was too wet to get dried in that period and eventually it was a washout. Hopefully, that's not the case today.

    Welcome to our live coverage of Day 3 of the second Test between India and Bangladesh

    The Kanpur Test has one one damp squib of a game so far with just 35 overs of play being possible so far, all on the first day and nothing on the second. Rain, drizzle, poor drainage system have all contributed to the players being in the dressing room more than the field. As we begin our coverage for Day 3, it is with a hope to see some play possible as we welcome all of you on Sunday morning.
