India vs Bangladesh: Rain prevents play in first session on Day 2 of 2nd Test

KANPUR: Persistent rain again prevented play as the morning session on day two of the second Test between India and Bangladesh was washed out.

Morning showers on Saturday meant that the Green Park stadium stayed under covers with not a single ball bowled.

Lunch was taken as scheduled with Bangladesh unchanged at 107-3 in 35 overs in their first innings.

Akash Deep picked up 2-34 in 10 overs, while Ravichandran Ashwin had 1-22 from nine overs.

Mominul Haque was batting on 40 not out, along with Mushfiqur Rahim on six not out, when bad light and then rain stopped play on day one.

India won the first Test in Chennai by 280 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.
