Green Park Stadium: Play on Day 3 of the second Test between India and Bangladesh at Green Park Stadium, Kanpur, has been called off without a ball being bowled due to wet outfield conditions.
Sunday's game too was called due to an overnight drizzle that left soggy patches on the field. It had not rained since the morning, and by 9:30 am, every cover had been removed. However, the wet patches, one near the bowlers' run-up, on the outfield couldn't be dried out.
With the morning and lunch sessions already lost, match referee Jeff Crowe conducted multiple inspections -- first at 10 am, followed by another at 12 pm, and the last inspection was conducted at 2 pm—but was left unsatisfied with the soggy patches on the field, particularly in the deep mid-wicket area near Pavilion C.
