Due to incessant rains, play on Day 1 has been called off early in Kanpur. A disappointing day of action in Kanpur, as only 35 overs were played.

Bangladesh end on 107/3, with Mominul Haque unbeaten on 40 and Mushfiqur Rahim on 6. For India, Akash Deep got 2 wickets, while Ashwin got 1.


Earlier, India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl first in the second Test against Bangladesh in Kanpur. Rohit named an unchanged team while Bangladesh made two alterations.


In the first session, Akash Deep made inroads with the ball, dismissing both Bangladesh openers. He got the ball rolling with the dismissal of Zakir Hasan for a 24-ball duck as Yashasvi Jaiswal took a stunning catch at gully. The Bengal pacer also gave Shadman Islam (24) his marching orders with a brilliant DRS. However, India wasted two more reviews soon after with unsuccessful challenges.


R Ashwin delivered India the first wicket after Lunch, sending back Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto 31(57).
