KANPUR: Team India left the Green Park Stadium as the start of the day two of the second Test against Bangladesh in Kanpur was delayed due to rain. The players were spotted leaving the stadium in their team bus.

The start of second day was delayed due to rain, announced the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on their X handle, posting, “The start of play for Day 2 in Kanpur has been delayed due to rains. Stay tuned for further updates. Scorecard – http://bit.ly/INDvBAN-2ndTEST-2024… #TeamIndia | #INDvBAN | @IDFCFIRSTBank”.

Even the first day of action was spoilt by rain as Bangladesh could complete only 35 overs, scoring 107/3, with Mominul Haque (40*) and wicketkeeper-batter Mushfiqur Rahim (6*) unbeaten.

Pacer Akash Deep (2/34) had started the proceedings on day one on a bright note, removing Zakir Hasan (0) and Shadman Islam (24 in 36 balls, with four boundaries) in quick succession to reduce Bangladesh to 29/2.

After a 51-run partnership between skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto and Haque, the former was trapped by Ravichandran Ashwin for 31 in 57 balls, with six fours.
