Kanpur Test: Wet outfield continues to stall play in 2nd India vs Bangladesh match

The wait to restart the second India- Bangladesh test continued Sunday as the morning session on day three was lost because of a wet outfield.

While there has been no rain since morning showers on Saturday, the sodden outfield continued to pose safety risks for the players. Bowling areas on both sides of the pitch as well as the slip cordons and certain close-in and boundary fielding positions appeared a cause for concern for umpires Chris Brown (New Zealand) and Richard Kettleborough (England).

The Green Park stadium ground staff worked through the morning session to try and ready the the field for play later Sunday.

Bangladesh was 107-3 in its first innings, with all 35 overs bowled on a rain-truncated day one. Rain and a wet outfield had meant that day two had been abandoned without a ball bowled.

India won the first test in Chennai by 280 runs to lead the two-match series.
