 "India vs Bangladesh Test in Kanpur achieves unwanted record")
The fourth day of the second Test between India and Bangladesh was completely wiped out on Sunday (September 29) even though it did not rain at all in Kanpur. It meant that for a second straight day, fans that made their trip to Green Park Stadium returned without watching any cricket.
Overnight rain had caused delay to the start of action on Sunday but even as the sun was shining bright around 2:00pm and there were no soggy patches on the ground, the officials decided to call off play.
Almost eight sessions have been lost across three days of cricket due to persistent rain that has played havoc with the final match of the two-game series. Questions on the drainage system used at the venue have been duly raised.
Bangladesh had ended the rain-shortened opening day at 107 for 3.
The entire second day was washed out without a ball being bowled, and only 35 overs were bowled on the opening day.
India pacer Akash Deep (2/34) and Ravichandran Ashwin (1/22) were among the wickets.
On Friday also, the start of the match was delayed by an hour due to a wet outfield.
India are leading the two-match series 1-0, having won the Chennai Test by 280 runs.
Kanpur Test achieves infamous record
The 35 overs bowled in Kanpur are the second-fewest across the first three days of a Test match since 2014.
