The India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Day 3 is on hold due to rain and a soggy outfield in Kanpur 🌧️. Yesterday’s action was a complete washout, and the forecast for today doesn’t look promising either. With only 35 overs bowled so far, Bangladesh sits at 107/3, but things are looking pretty bleak for both teams if the weather doesn’t clear up soon. 🌫️

🌦️ Weather Update: No Play Yet, But Hope On the Horizon!
The latest update: The outfield is still too wet for play to begin. The umpires are conducting regular inspections, with the next one scheduled for 12 PM IST ⏰. The forecast hints at better conditions later today, but it’s a waiting game for now 🙏. The groundsmen are working hard with super soppers to dry things out, but Mother Nature’s got the upper hand!
It is raining in Kanpur. Very unlikely to resume play this morning. #KanpurTest #INDvBANpic.twitter.com/OpALRfknyQ

Day 2 Recap: Washed Away by Rain 🌧️💔
Saturday saw no action as rain poured in Kanpur. The second day was officially called off at 2:15 PM, with not a single ball bowled 😢. India’s pacer Akash Deep made an impression on Day 1, picking up two key wickets. But the team will need the skies to clear if they’re to keep the pressure on Bangladesh.
