Kanpur, Sept 27: Day one of the second Test match between India and Bangladesh on Friday in Kanpur has been called off after rain played a spoilsport.

In the middle of the second session, the game was called off, and only 35 overs of play took place on Friday. At stumps, Bangladesh stood at 107/3 with Mominul Haque (40*) and Mushfiqur Rahim (6*) unbeaten of the crease.

In the 29th over, Ravichandran Ashwin picked up Najmul Hossain Shanto's wicket for 31 runs from 57 balls.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) took to their X to announce that day one of the Kanpur Test was called off due to "incessant rains".

"Due to incessant rains, play on Day 1 has been called off in Kanpur," BCCI wrote on X.

Earlier in the day, the toss was also delayed due to wet outfield; however, later India won the toss and decided to bowl against Bangladesh in Kanpur.

At the end of the first session, Bangladesh posted a score of 74/2, with Mominul Haque and skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto unbeaten with scores of 17 and 28, respectively.
