India vs Bangladesh, Kanpur Weather Update: Rain and too much water on the covers allowed no action to take place on Day 2 (Saturday. September 28) of the second Test at Green Park in Kanpur.

Despite no rain for a couple of hours, match officials decided to abandon the Day 2 play without a ball being bowled as the super soppers could also not get rid of the waterlogging on the overs.

Like the first day, the Day 2 start was also delayed. Notably, only 35 overs of play was possible on the opening day due to incessant rain.

The covers were being taken off before the scheduled 9:30 start, but the rain arrived again to play spoilsport. Umpires were seen walking in the middle with their umbrellas to access the ground conditions. The damp outfield was again be a concern.

Meanwhile, the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Gautam Gambhir and Yashasvi Sharma were spotted chatting in the Indian dressing room balcony.

The toss was delayed by an hour on Friday (Day 1) due to soggy outfield. It rained once at the stroke of lunch, before bad light and the following rain forced umpires to call off the entire day's play around 3:00 PM. Bangladesh scored 107/3 in 35 overs after being asked to bat first.

Kanpur Weather forecast for Sunday, September 29

The Kanpur weather forecast for Day 3 is also not great. Thunderstorms have been predicted early morning around 5:00 AM. Another spell of rain showers has been predicted around 9:00 AM.

As per AccuWeather, the precipitation level would drop to 20 percent after 1:00 PM. Therefore, a good amount of action is expected at least in the second-half of Day 3 (Sunday, September 29).

India are looking for a win in Kanpur to win the series 2-0. They defeated Bangladesh by 280 runs in the first Test in Chennai. The match had ended in the first session of the Day 4.
