India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Day 3: Soggy Outfield Delays Play Amid Weather Woes
India vs Bangladesh in the 2nd Test has been a frustrating affair due to weather interruptions, particularly on Day 3. The match, hosted at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur, has seen persistent delays as the outfield remains soggy, making it unsafe for play. The umpires have carried out multiple inspections throughout the morning, but the lack of sunshine has prevented the field from drying out completely. The next inspection is scheduled for 2:00 PM IST, raising hopes for a potential final session of play later in the day.

The situation for both teams is difficult. Bangladesh, currently at 107/3 after 35 overs, is desperate to build on their innings, with Mominul Haque holding strong on 40 runs. India, on the other hand, had the upper hand before the weather took over, with Akash Deep taking two crucial wickets and Jasprit Bumrah keeping things tight. The second day's play was entirely washed out, and as of now, Day 3 has yet to see any action.
This extended delay poses a real threat to the outcome of the series. India leads the two-match series 1-0, and Bangladesh will be hoping to salvage a draw to avoid a whitewash. The longer the weather keeps the game at a standstill, the slimmer the chances of either team forcing a result. However, with the rough patches on the pitch, the conditions could still favor the bowlers if play resumes.
The fans in Kanpur, who have waited nearly three years to witness a Test match in their city, share in the frustration. Despite a packed stadium, they have yet to see any cricket action over the past two days. Hopes are pinned on the afternoon session, but without adequate sunshine to dry the field, even that remains uncertain. For now, all eyes are on the clock as everyone waits for the next inspection and a glimmer of hope for resumption.
