India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test, Day 2: Both teams return to the hotel

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test, Day 2: Cloudy weather awaits again.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test, Day 2: Fingers crossed. Rain played a major role on the first day of the second match between India and Bangladesh as showers and poor lighting in Kanpur meant only 35 overs were played. The stage is set for a very interesting test in the future if the weather doesn’t play spoilsport as predicted over the weekend in Kanpur. Bangladesh enter day two at 107-3, with Mominul Haque set to bat on 40* after some fiery bowling from India. He will be supported by Mushfiqur Rahim, who has looked solid, and the experienced lower-middle class from Bangladesh will follow suit.…Read more

Meanwhile, India will be hoping that the rain and cloudy conditions will allow their bowlers to get something out of the field, with the impact of the game so far not being that deep on the surface. India clearly expected the pitch to provide some spice, with Rohit Sharma choosing to bowl first after winning the toss – the first time since 2015 that an Indian captain has made that decision on his own pitch.

For the most part, both teams will be hoping the weather plays its part after losing 55 overs to rain on the opening day of the match. Bangladesh played the new ball without too much damage and will want their veterans like Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan and Litton Das to benefit from friendly conditions before the black ground comes into play for the Indian spin duo.

The Tigers have opted to go into this match with an extra spinner against Taijul Islam, but India will like their chances of opening with just two pacers in the opposition. Although Ravichandran Ashwin got some spin and irregular bounce, it wasn’t too threatening to the batters and Ravindra Jadeja was left unused.

The weather forecast predicts rain both overnight and on Saturday afternoon, and with the pitch not looking too difficult to bat on, both teams will be hoping that getting a result is still on the cards. India will look for quick wickets to make up for lost time, while Bangladesh will likely work with instructions to remain patient and vigilant.

On Day 1 yesterday – at whatever volume of play – Sharma had put Najmul Hossain Shanto’s men into bat, marking a break from the trend for captains on Indian pitches. Since it had rained the day before and the game had to start an hour late, the idea may have been to take advantage of the cloudy conditions. There was early movement for Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, but Shadman Islam and Zakir Hasan were alert to start.

However, Zakir could not get going and was dismissed for a 24-ball duck after the introduction of Akash Deep, who continued his form of picking up crucial wickets in the first innings after being introduced as the first substitute bowler. Zakir was dismissed by another fine low catch from Yashasvi Jaiswal in the gully, before Shadman Islam trapped LBW after a good referral by the Indian team.

Coming in at number four, Shanto leveled the ship with Mominul Haque, building a 51-run partnership before a partnership that didn’t change took him by surprise and sent the Bangladesh captain packing. This was Ashwin’s 420th wicket in Asian conditions, placing him outright second for bowlers with most wickets in Asia, ahead of Anil Kumble. Mominul started to find his feet after a streaky start and played some quality shots before the end of the game, with Mushfiqur Rahim playing himself at the other end. Poor light forced the umpires to call off the play-off, and when rain also started pouring over Kanpur, stumps were forced, as Bangladesh went solid at 107-3.

Below are some tips regarding the 2nd Test between India and Bangladesh:

– Bangladesh will resume at 107-3

– An early start is expected and play can take place until 5:30 PM, light permitting.

– Unfortunately, more rain is expected on day 2.

– Virat Kohli needs 129 more to complete 9000 Test runs.

– There is a lot of hope for Mushfiqur Rahim and Mominul Haque.
