IND vs BAN 2nd Test Day 4 LIVE Score: Both India and Bangladesh will be hopeful of some play taking place on the fourth day of the second Test in Kanpur after two full days and a majority of the opening day were lost to rain.
Bangladesh had reached 107/3 after 35 overs during the second session of Day 1 at Kanpur’s Green Park when rain forced the players and the umpires to head back to the dressing room. No further play was possible that day as the umpires signalled stumps shortly before 3 pm local time.
Both teams remained indoors over the course of the weekend as Days 2 and 3 were washed out without a single ball bowled.
As a result of erratic weather since Friday, the second and final Test between India and Bangladesh appears headed towards a draw.

However, the weather forecast for the remaining days of the match are a lot more conducive for a game of cricket, with a 3 per cent chance of rain for Monday , according to Accuweather.
Senior batter Mominul Haque was unbeaten on 40 on the opening day, spearheading the Tigers’ recovery after they were reduced to 29/2, and will be hoping to becoming the first visiting batter to score a century in the ongoing series.
India, on the other hand, will be eyeing early wickets in order to bowl Bangladesh out quickly and give themselves a shot at victory in the limited time available in Kanpur, although for that they will also have to score runs at a brisk pace.
