PremiumIndia vs Bangladesh Highlights, 2nd Test Day 3: After the first two days of the match in Kanpur being affected by rain, team India will desperately be hoping for some action on the remaining 3 days of the match. Notably, if Rohit Sharma and Co. win this match, they would only need to win 3 out of their next 5 matches to qualify for the WTC final.
Unfortunately, the current match seems to be heading for a draw with forecasters predicting a delayed start on Sunday owing to light showers. Unlike Day 2, though, some action may be possible with the skies clearing up during the afternoon.
Only 35 overs were played on the first day and both teams looked evenly matched with the hosts holding a slight edge. The day began brightly for India as pacer Akash Deep took the crucial wickets of Zakhir Hasan (0) and Shadman Islam (24 off 36 balls) to reduce the visitors to 29/2. However, a valiant 51-run partnership between skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mominul Haque helped Bangladesh get back into the game. The partnership was eventually broken by Ravichandran Ashwin, who used his experience to remove Shanto for 31.
As things stand, Mominul Haque (40) and Mushfiqur Rahim (6) will take on the challenge of guiding their team to a comfortable total when play resumes in Kanpur.
