Bad light stopped play on day one of the second Test between India and Bangladesh with the visitors on 107/3 in Kanpur.

Mominul Haque, on 40, and Mushfiqur Rahim, on six, were batting when dark clouds made visibility tough and umpires took the players off the ground in the second session. Soon after, bad lights changed to heavy downpour.

India, who lead the two-match series 1-0, elected to field in overcast conditions and fast bowler Akash Deep backed captain Rohit Sharma's decision with two wickets in the first hour of play.

Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto, who made 31, put on 51 runs with Mominul to play out the remainder of the first session. But first-match hero Ravichandran Ashwin removed the captain after lunch.

On Friday, during the second Test against Bangladesh in Kanpur, Ashwin claimed the wicket of Najmul Hossain Shanto, taking his tally to 420 wickets in Asia. This achievement saw him surpass the previous record held by Anil Kumble, who had 419 wickets in the continent.

Pacer Akash Deep struck twice in overcast conditions to dismiss both openers but Bangladesh fought back through skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto and reached 74 for two at lunch on the opening day of the second Test that had a delayed start due to wet outfield, here on Friday. Looking to exploit the pace-friendly conditions, skipper Rohit Sharma opted to bowl, keeping all three pacers in the playing XI.

Deep (2/14) was impressive with his consistent length balls that bounced and moved away, not giving the batters much of a choice but to adopt a safe approach.

Shanto (28 batting, 4s-6) batted with positive intent, if not combative, to ensure Bangladesh don't lose away. He had Mominul Haque (17 off 48) for the company at the break.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Pitch report

"Overcast conditions. It's a black soil pitch. Traditionally pitches here have been slow and low. Run scoring is high in the first innings and scores get low as the game progresses. Enough straw coloured grass in it for the bowlers to get some movement." - Murali Kartik
