The second Test match between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur faced further delays on Sunday due to a wet outfield, causing the morning session on day three to be lost. Despite no rainfall since a brief shower on Saturday, the ground remained damp, posing safety concerns for the players. Umpires Chris Brown from New Zealand and Richard Kettleborough from England identified areas such as the bowling areas, slip cordons, and fielding positions as potential risks.

Efforts were made by the Green Park stadium ground staff throughout the morning to improve the outfield conditions for potential play later in the day. Bangladesh had reached a score of 107-3 in their first innings, with only 35 overs bowled on a rain-affected day one. The entirety of day two was called off due to rain and the persistent issue of the wet outfield, preventing any cricket from being played.

In the first Test of the series held in Chennai, India emerged victorious with a convincing 280-run win over Bangladesh. The ongoing delays in the second Test have left both teams and fans eagerly awaiting the opportunity for the match to resume and for the action to continue. The uncertainty surrounding the weather conditions and the outfield’s readiness have added an element of unpredictability to the proceedings.

The cricketing community remains hopeful that conditions will improve, allowing for a successful continuation of the Test match between India and Bangladesh. The determination and efforts of the ground staff to prepare the field for play demonstrate the commitment to ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment for the players. As the wait persists, anticipation grows for the moment when the teams can return to the field and resume their battle in the two-match series.
