In the afternoon, the probability of rain continues, with 6.9 mm of rain expected, while 55 per cent of precipitation chances dampen Day 2 of the Test match. The cloud cover stands at 96 per cent.

Amid the predictions by the weather channel, it seems unlikely that Day 2 of the second Test between India and Bangladesh will swiftly take place.

On Friday, Bangladesh scored just 107 runs off 3 wickets in 35 overs, so the Stumps were called for DAY 1, as rain and poor light dampened the ground.

Sharing an update, the Board of Control for Cricket in India took of X and wrote, “Due to incessant rains, play on Day 1 has been called off in Kanpur.”
