Despite a strong start with Akash Deep claiming three key wickets for India, the weather quickly took a turn for the worse on Day 1 of the second Test between India and Bangladesh. With constant rain and bad light, only 35 overs were able to be bowled before play was called off for the day. Bangladesh ended on 107/3 with Mominul Haque leading the team with 40 runs. All eyes will be on Day 2 to see if the weather will cooperate and if Mushfiqur Rahim can reach his 6,000 Test run milestone.
On a gloomy Friday, play was heavily interrupted due to rain and bad light during the first day of the second Test between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur. In the limited 35 overs of play possible, Bangladesh managed to score 107 for 3, with two early wickets falling to Akash Deep. India stuck to their original eleven, with three seamers and two spinners, and chose to field first on a soft and green-tinged surface.
The Indian cricket team has managed to take two quick wickets in the second Test against Bangladesh in Kanpur, thanks to the brilliant bowling by Akash Deep and an overturned DRS appeal. Despite a solid start by the visitors, Akash struck in his first over, while his third over saw him making a successful LBW appeal. However, Rohit Sharma was still taken aback when the decision went in India's favour. With two more batsmen in the middle, Bangladesh will look to hold their fort till lunch.
