Rain prevents play on the second day of the second Test between India and Bangladesh

KANPUR, India (AP) — Persistent rain again prevented play as the morning session was washed out on the second day of the second Test between India and Bangladesh.

Morning rain on Saturday ensured that Green Park Stadium remained covered and not a single ball was thrown. Lunch was taken as planned with Bangladesh remaining unchanged in the first innings at 107-3 in 35 overs.

All 35 overs were bowled on the first day, which was also marred by rain.

The rain showers eased just before the lunch break, but it remains to be seen whether play will begin in the second session.

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

Akash Deep took 2-34 in 10 overs while Ravichandran Ashwin had 1-22 from nine overs.

Mominul Haque was batting on 40 not out along with Mushfiqur Rahim on 6 not out when bad light and then rain halted play on the first day.

India won the first Test in Chennai by 280 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.
