Kanpur. The first day of the second test match being played here between India and Bangladesh was ended early due to rain. Only 35 overs and 166 minutes of play could be played on the first day. At the end of the first day's play, Bangladesh has scored 107 runs for 3 wickets in its first innings. Mominul Haq is playing on 40 runs and Mushfiqur Rahim is playing on 6 runs.
Earlier, due to rain overnight last night, the toss was delayed this morning and the match started late by about 1 hour. India won the toss and decided to bowl first. Despite cloudy weather, Bangladesh played the morning session well. Captain Nazmul Hussain Shanto (28*) and Mominul Haq (17*) brought some relief to Bangladesh by making an unbroken partnership of 45 runs in difficult conditions. Although there was grass on the pitch, there was little bounce and the surface was slow due to the black soil. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj swung the new ball.
Bangladesh openers Shadman Islam and Zakir Hasan escaped dismissal on a few occasions, but they looked completely confident against the new ball until the arrival of Akash Deep. India's new fast bowler once again did wonders in his first over itself, when he got Zakir (0) caught by Yashasvi Jaiswal at gully. Soon after, the fast bowler gave India a double success by dismissing Shadman (24) LBW.
After this, Mominul Haq and captain Nazmul Hasan Shanto took the innings forward and added 51 runs for the third wicket. On the total score of 80, Ashwin broke this partnership by LBWing Nazmul. Nazmul scored 31 runs. After this, Mominul and Mushfiqur took Bangladesh's innings to 100. The game was stopped after the 35th over due to bad light and then there was heavy rain, after which the game was declared over.
