Live now | IND vs BAN, 2nd Test Day 2 LIVE: First session washed out due to rain, both teams returned to hotel

The latest update is that the super soppers are running on the covers. However, the light has not improved. Reserve umpire Virender Sharma is seen talking to the groundsmen.

The rain stopped for a while but light rain has started again in Kanpur. The lunch break has also been announced. In this way, the first session has officially fallen prey to rain.

It hasn’t rained for a while now, but the ground is still completely covered. It’s almost lunch time now, so the first session has been washed out due to rain. The super soppers are now working on the covers.

Rain has started again in Kanpur. However, the groundsmen are fully alert and are eagerly waiting for the rain to stop.

This is not good news. Both teams have returned to the hotel from the ground and there is no news of the next inspection. It seems difficult for the match to start before lunch.

It is reported that the drizzle has stopped but it is expected to rain again in the next few minutes. This is the reason why the groundsman has not removed the cover. Now it remains to be seen how long this game of hide and seek with the rain continues. 

Both the teams are in the stadium. Everyone is waiting for the rain to stop. Some members of the Indian team are seen in the balcony of the dressing room, including Virat Kohli, Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Bangladesh players are still carrying their bags on their shoulders and are taking stock of the situation from the dressing room. Covers are still laid on the field.
