    Day 3 of India-Bangladesh Kanpur Test abandoned: Details here

    What's the story

    Day 3 of the India vs Bangladesh second Test match at Kanpur's Green Park Stadium was a total washout, just like the second day.

    Though it didn't rain, the outfield was not fit for play.

    Even the ground staff tried their best to get things ready, but around 2pm the match officials called it a day.

    Here are further details.

    Field conditions

    Overnight rain leaves field waterlogged, disrupts play

    The overnight rain left the outfield waterlogged with puddles in some areas.

    Despite no rain taking place since the morning, damp conditions made it impossible for play to resume.

    Notably, the sun came out in the afternoon as it was overcast in the morning.

    The ground stayed covered the whole day, with super soppers being deployed intermittently in an attempt to salvage the situation.

    Fan disappointment

    Fans disappointed as rain continues to disrupt match

    Even though the players returned to their hotel, quite a few fans still hung around at the stadium, hoping for a miracle and a resumption of play.

    Sadly, the officials called off the day's play due to poor visibility and unplayable field conditions.

    Fortunately, the weather forecast predicts that the remaining two days will be cricket friendly.

    Hence, the venue officials are hopeful about preparing the ground if there's no further downpour.

    Match outlook

    Match likely to end in draw due to weather conditions

    According to the weather forecast for Monday and Tuesday, it's likely to be sunny and warm. If that happens, we might see a draw in the match.

    On the Test's first day, only 35 overs were bowled due to poor light and rain interruptions.

    Bangladesh managed to score 107/3 after India won the toss and chose to field first.

    Player performance

    Akash Deep shines on 1st day, Bangladesh rebuild

    On a pitch where Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj struggled to find breakthroughs, Akash Deep made an immediate impact.

    He was introduced in the ninth over and managed to dismiss both Bangladesh openers - Shadman Islam and Zakir Hasan.

    However, India couldn't make further inroads as captain Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mominul Haque started rebuilding their innings.
