India vs Bangladesh Highlights: A second consecutive day was washed out in the second Test match between India and Bangladesh at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. Despite three separate inspections, the umpires decided to call off play due to the wet outfield. The lack of sunshine in the morning left several soggy and wet patches on the pitch, making it a safety concern for the players. Despite bright sunlight in the afternoon, no play could take place.

Action could be expected on Day 4 and Day 5, with no more rain expected.

- 13:56 (IST)IND vs BAN Live Score: No rain... so why no play?From 9:30 AM (scheduled start time) till now, there has been no rain at all.

- 13:01 (IST)IND vs BAN Live Score: 1 hour till the next updateWe are one hour away from the next update, scheduled to take place at 2 PM. Fingers crossed this will be more positive than the last two umpire inspections.If no play is possible after 2 PM, we are unlikely to have any more action on Day 3.
- 12:32 (IST)IND vs BAN Live: There is still hope for playOn Day 2, play had been called off by this time. However, with no rain at all, umpires and officials today are hopeful for some action. Maybe not even 35 overs, but anything to get the Test match rolling again.The big issue preventing play are the wet patches on the outfield, which haven't dried due to a lack of sunshine.
