No rain since 9am and yet Day 3 has been called off. They couldn’t dry the wet patches on the field.
You can’t play Test cricket just anywhere.. bring it to major stadiums only.
It has nothing to do with cities, it has everything to do with the Stadiums. #INDvsBAN

India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test update
India captain Rohit Sharma had won the toss and opted to bowl first. Trailing 1-0 in the two-match series, Bangladesh got off to a wobbly start as Akash Deep removed both openers.
Mominul Haque then combined with captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, adding 51 runs for the third wicket. Ravichandran Ashwin then struck for the seventh time in the series to provide India with a third breakthrough.
After rain-shortened Day 1 of the second Test in Kanpur, India and Bangladesh were eyeing full days play on Day 2 with the visitors resuming at 107/3 following 35 overs of action on Day 1.
However much to the disappointment of players and fans the match was called off due to rain and bad light. With two days of the match left result seems unlikely but both teams would want to get onto the field and get some match practice.
