Wet outfield ruins day three of India-Bangladesh Test

There was no rain, but play was abandoned without a ball being bowled on day three of the second India-Bangladesh Test in Kanpur.

Overnight rain made it impossible for play to start on time in the morning session on Sunday, with a wet outfield forcing the two teams – and fans – to wait.

Bangladesh were 3-107 in their first innings, with all 35 overs bowled on a rain-truncated opening first day.

Rain and a wet outfield meant that day two was also abandoned without a ball being bowled.

On Friday, India had won the toss and opted to field for the first time in a home Test since 2015.

The umpires – Chris Brown (New Zealand) and Richard Kettleborough (England) – made an inspection at 10am local time on Sunday.

They had another at noon and a third one two hours later when the day’s play was called off.

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