There was no rain on Sunday (September 29, 2024) in Kanpur, but play was abandoned without a ball being bowled on day three of the second India-Bangladesh test.
Overnight rain made it impossible for play to start on time in the morning session with a wet outfield forcing the two teams – and fans – to wait.
Bangladesh was at 107-3 in its first innings, with all 35 overs bowled on a rain-truncated opening one. Rain and a wet outfield had meant that day two was also abandoned without a ball being bowled.
On Friday, India had won the toss and opted to field for the first time in a home test since 2015.
The umpires – Chris Brown (New Zealand) and Richard Kettleborough (England) – made an inspection at 10a.m. local time.
They had another at noon and a third one two hours later when the day’s play was called off.
