IND Vs BAN Live Score, 2nd Test Day 3: Day 2 Recap

The second day of the second Test between India and Bangladesh on Saturday was completely spoiled by continuous rain with not a single ball being bowled at the Sher-e Bangla Stadium in Dhaka.

It was a light drizzle in the morning but turned heavy, leading to the abandonment of the play at Green Park Stadium. Groundsmen tried to clear the field by using three super soppers as the rain eased by 11:15 am, but poor visibility added to the challenges.

No improvement in conditions ensured that the day's play was called off at 2:15 pm.
