India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score, 2nd Test, Day 1: Play Suspended ...

IND vs BAN Live Score: Stumps.

That's it. We're getting news that stumps has been called on Day 1. A disappointing day of action in Kanpur, as we get only 35 overs of Test cricket. 

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

IND vs BAN Live Score: No relief from rain gods!

Proper rain at the moment, it's pouring heavily. There was forecast of rain around 2 PM. Full ground is under the cover now. We might be in for early tea if the visuals are to be believed

IND vs BAN Live: Some sad news

Meanwhile, Bangladesh team's 'super fan' Tiger Roby was allegedly beaten up by some Team India supporters during the Kanpur Test. He had to be taken to the hospital by the police. Here's the full story...

IND vs BAN Live Score: Covers all over the pitch

There are covers all across the ground now. It is nothing but a measure for safety, in case rain starts amidst the overcast conditions. The floodlights are also shining bright, but a strong crowd in Kanpur waits expectantly.

IND vs BAN Live Score: Still no Jadeja

A combination of the conditions as well as the number of left-handers in the Bangladesh batting has probably caused Rohit to not hand the ball to Ravindra Jadeja in 35 overs of play. His spin partner Ashwin has picked up a wicket, however.

IND vs BAN Live Score: Light meter is out

The floodlights are on, and the rain covers have also been brought back keeping the overcast conditions in mind. Let's hope for a quick restart to action.

IND vs BAN Live Score: Play stops due to bad light

The players are walking off, the umpires have halted play due to bad light. Another stoppage in play, not due to rain this time but due to the overcast conditions.

IND vs BAN Live Score: Bumrah comes back

Jasprit Bumrah is back into the attack for the first time after Lunch. He creates a big chance, invites Mominul to swing his bat and the ball flies in between slip and gully, and away for four. Mominul into the 40s now.

IND vs BAN Live Score: India lose the review

And the ball pitches outside leg stump! India lose a second review. May well have hit the stumps on hawk-eye, but that won't be a factor anymore. Rohit Sharma has been very active with the reviews today.

Mominul responds with a superb shot to bring up 100 for Bangladesh.

BAN 102/3 (34 overs)

IND vs BAN Live Score: Huge appeal but the finger stays down

Huge appeal by Akash Deep and the rest of the team as Mominul is caught on the pads, but the umpire shakes his head. Rohit Sharma gives in, and goes for another review. 

IND vs BAN Live Score: Another boundary for Mominul

The left-hander once again takes advantage of the close field. Short delivery by Akash Deep gives him the perfect chance to upper cut it towards third man for four. Mominul 32 off 72 now.

BAN 98/3 (33.3 overs)

IND vs BAN Live Score: 4 slips and a gully

Ultra-aggressive field set by Rohit Sharma in the hunt for the next wicket. Four slips and a gully in place for Mushfiqur. The Indian captain wants to take advantage of the overcast conditions.

IND vs BAN Live Score: First four for Mushfiqur

Mushfiqur opens the face of the bat and it goes past the slip cordon for four. He is just over 80 runs away from the 6,000-run mark in Test cricket. He would become the first-ever Bangladesh batter to achieve so.

BAN 93/3 (32 overs)

IND vs BAN Live: Gorgeous cover drive by Mominul

Mominul is holding fort at one end. Leaving well, and then reacting to the loose balls. Pitched up here by Akash Deep, and Mominul drives it through the covers.

BAN 88/3 (31.2 overs)

IND vs BAN Live: Weather forecast

"There is rain expected around 2 o' clock in the weather forecast," says Dinesh Karthik in the comm box. Grey skies are also coming over the Kanpur stadium. Could we be heading towards another stoppage?

IND vs BAN Live: 30 overs done

Ashwin continues in the attack. Bangladesh 80/3 after 30 overs. Not the ideal start for them to the second session.

BAN 80/3 (30 overs)

IND vs BAN Live: Shanto gone!

Ashwin traps Shanto out LBW! Big wicket! The partnership is broken. Gill also took a fabulous one-handed catch at second slip, so even if it hit the bat, he would've been dismissed. 

Shanto reviews the umpire's decision, but it is plumb.

BAN 80/3 (29 overs)

IND vs BAN Live: Cautious start

Just 4 runs in the first two overs after Lunch. Ashwin and Akash Deep keeping things tight, but Bangladesh choosing caution with the unpredictable conditions.

BAN 78/2 (28 overs)

IND vs BAN Live: Akash Deep back

Akash Deep comes back into the attack from the other end. Starts off with a no-ball. Still no sign of Jadeja. 

BAN 78/2 (27.1 overs)

IND vs BAN Live: Ashwin gets us underway

R Ashwin opens the bowling for India in the second session. 3 runs in the over. 

BAN 77/2 (27 overs)

IND vs BAN Live: We are LIVE

We are back after Lunch. India in search for the third wicket, Bangladesh hoping to stabilize the partnership between Mominul and Shanto even further. Will we see Jadeja handed the ball?

BAN 74/2 (26 overs)

IND vs BAN Live: Covers going off

We are seeing live images of the covers being taken off. Instead of 1:10 PM, the match will restart at 1:25 PM, post Lunch.

IND vs BAN Live: No Ravindra Jadeja yet

Rohit Sharma has still not handed the ball to Ravindra Jadeja. 25 overs so far, out of which R Ashwin has bowled 5. None for the left-arm spinner yet.

IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live: LUNCH

Bangladesh 74/2 at Lunch. Shanto (28*) and Mominul (17*) steady at the crease, edging towards a 50-run parternship. Akash Deep took the two opening wickets.

But, it's raining and the covers are out. Hopefully it clears up by the time Lunch ends.

BAN 74/2 (26 overs)

IND vs BAN 2nd Test Live: It's drizzling

The drizzle is picking up, right as we are about to head for lunch. The umbrellas are out in the stands. The raindrops are on the camera. 

BAN 74/2 (25.2 overs)

IND vs BAN Live: 25 overs done

Bangladesh stay solid. Shanto is attacking well, while Mominul is playing the classic No. 3 anchor role. Dealing well with everything thrown at them right now, whether it's Bumrah or Ashwin or Siraj or Akash Deep.

BAN 73/2 (25 overs)

IND vs BAN Live: Beautiful shot!

Beautiful cover drive by Mominul Haque to end the over. That shot will definitely make Day 1's highlights package. Prevents another Bumrah maiden.

BAN 70/2 (23 overs)

IND vs BAN Live: Bumrah misses the edge!

Brilliant outswinger by Jasprit Bumrah. Mominul was really close to edging a delivery. Can India's pace spearhead surprise the Bangladesh batters?

BAN 66/2 (22.4 overs)

IND vs BAN Live Score: Leading by example

Najmul Hossain Shanto was Bangladesh's top scorer in the first Test, scoring a valiant 82, and he seems to have picked up from where he left. Looks at ease in the conditions and with his choice of shots.

BAN 66/2 (22 overs)

IND vs BAN Live Score: Reverse sweep glory

Fabulous by Najmul Hossain Shanto. Firm, powerful reverse sweep by the Bangladesh captain to deal with Ashwin. 6th boundary for him already.

BAN 66/2 (22 overs)

IND vs BAN Live Score: Another maiden for Bumrah

Make that 4 maidens in 6 overs for Jasprit Bumrah. India's pacer spearhead has been miserly with the ball. But, crucially for Bangladesh, Mominul and Shanto survive. Now time for R Ashwin!

BAN 61/2 (21 overs)

IND vs BAN Live Score: Catch, appeal but not out?

A huge deflection off Shanto's thigh pad. Akash Deep grabs the catch at square leg, but it's not out. Massive red print as well on Shanto's pants.

BAN 61/2 (20.2 overs)

IND vs BAN Live: Shanto settling in

Shanto is playing fire with fire. He has survived some close calls, but he picks up another boundary, this time off Siraj's bowling. 22 off 24 balls now. That's 20 overs done.

IND vs BAN Live: Review goes to waste

Umpire's Call! India lose their second review of the Test. That was very close, but Bangladesh survive.

BAN 56/2 (19 overs)

IND vs BAN Live: Huge appeal by Bumrah

Massive appeal by Bumrah and Team India, but the umpire gives not out. Rohit Sharma goes for ANOTHER review.

BAN 56/2 (18.4 overs)

IND vs BAN Live: Bumrah back

Jasprit Bumrah is back into the attack. Bowled three maidens in his first 4 overs, and will hope to cause a breakthrough now. 

Meanwhile, the sun is out in Kanpur!

BAN 56/2 (18 overs)

IND vs BAN Live Score: 50 up for Bangladesh

Short delivery from Akash Deep, and Mominul Haque punishes. Hits it over the in-field towards third man for four. 50 up for Bangladesh, in 16.3 overs.

BAN 50/2 (16.3 overs)

IND vs BAN Live Score: Left handers struggling

5 of Bangladesh's top 6 are left-handers, and they are really struggling to score runs today. Perhaps adds a bit more predictability to the bowlers, particularly Akash Deep and Ashwin.

BAN 46/2 (16.2 overs)

IND vs BAN Live Score: Akash Deep toughest bowler?

Dinesh Karthik reveals on commentary that, as per Tamim Iqbal, many Bangladesh players in the dressing room believed that Akash Deep was the toughest bowler to face in the first Test. 

BAN 42/2 (15 overs)

IND vs BAN LIVE: Ball pitches outside leg

A quick end to that DRS review. India lose their first review of the day. Siraj's ball pitched inches outside leg stump. It was also going well over the stumps. Perhaps a rush of blood there from Team India in taking the review.

BAN 42/2 (14 overs)
