IND vs BAN 2nd Test Day 2 weather report: India and Bangladesh are facing each other in the second and final Test of the series in Green Park, Kanpur. The rain curtailed the first day of the match in Kanpur with only 35 overs getting bowled.
Bangladesh went to the stumps at 107/3 and are in a spot of bother after being tested by the Indian bowlers on the black soil pitch. The pitch was damp and the seamers got the juice out of it early in the innings.
They kept testing the edges of the batters but the visitors fought back with a 51-run stand between captain Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mominul Haque. However, the rearguard was broken by spin maestro Ravi Ashwin, who got Shanto out LBW early in the second session. Only nine overs could have been bowled in the second session before the bad light stopped play and rain returned to deny any further action. But how is the weather for the second day of the match? Let's see.
