On the opening morning of the second Test in Kanpur, Akash Deep struck twice to give India an early lead. However, before lunch, Mominul Haque and Najmul Hossain Shanto put on 45 runs in an uninterrupted third-wicket partnership to ensure that the match was still in the balance. It began to drizzle during the last over before the break, so the ground workers hastily put on the covers as the teams retreated. Following a delayed start due to overnight rain, India proceeded unaltered, with Rohit Sharma expecting their three seamers to take advantage of the cloudy conditions.
Jasprit Bumrah first bowled three maidens without striking, then he got the ball to go both ways. Shadman Islam and Zakir Hasan withstood the early spells, thus Mohammed Siraj was also unsuccessful in the end. Zakir really faced 20 balls during that time, but he was unable to establish his account. When Akash Deep was brought on in the ninth over, everything was different. With his third delivery, Zakir approached him and edged one low into the gully to the right, where Yashasvi Jaiswal caught the ball inches above the ground with both hands.
On the fairness of the catch, the TV umpire was consulted. Even with just one obvious perspective, he was able to conclude that the ball entered Jaiswal’s hands directly. After a few overs, Akash Deep made another blow. He kept going around the wicket and managed to strike Shadman in the pad with a ball that beat his inside edge. The massive LBW appeal was rejected by the on-field umpire because it appeared as though the ball would have, at most, grazed leg stump.
India chose to study the shot, and much to everyone’s amazement, the projection revealed that the ball had struck a sizable portion of the leg stump. With a good attitude, Shanto hit a couple streaky boundaries in the first part of the batting inning. As the innings went on, Mominul’s confidence also increased. After hitting Siraj and Akash Deep for four runs apiece, he drove Bumrah through the covers. Bangladesh will be conscious that this is just the beginning, but it relieved some of their strain. A soggy outfield caused an hour-long delay in the toss earlier.
When India won the toss, Rohit made the decision to bowl under the cloudy sky. India choose to bowl in a home Test for the first time since 2015. When England was inserted by India in 1964, it was the last occasion a team chose to bowl at Green Park. Compared to the typical Kanpur surface, Rohit noted the pitch was a touch softer and had a little more grass. Bangladesh interpreted the situation differently, opting to bat first and selecting three spinners (Taijul Islam and Khaled Ahmed in place of Nahid Rana and Taskin Ahmed).
On the first day of the second Test between India and Bangladesh at Kanpur, few overs could be played due to a mix of poor visibility and intense rain. Bangladesh ended up scoring 107 for 3. Due to an outfield that had been flooded by overnight rain, the actual toss was delayed by one hour. When it came time to toss, Rohit Sharma chose to bowl under the cloudy sky. India choose to bowl in a home Test for the first time since 2015. Keeping their starting lineup unaltered, Rohit anticipated his three seamers to take full advantage of the circumstances.
In comparison to the typical Kanpur surface, he noted the pitch was a little softer and had a little more grass. Bangladesh chose to select three spinners in addition to wanting to bat first, based on their interpretation of the circumstances. Jasprit Bumrah was able to move the ball in all directions and initially delivered three maidens but was unable to claim a wicket. Not only did Shadman Islam and Zakir Hasan escape the early periods, but Mohammed Siraj also failed. Zakir really faced 20 balls during that time, but he was unable to establish his account.
When Akash Deep was brought on in the ninth over, everything was different. With his third ball, Yashasvi Jaiswal ran low to his right and pouched it with both hands as Zakir walked towards him and edged it into a gully. On the fairness of the catch, the TV umpire was consulted. Despite having just one viable perspective, he was able to conclude that the ball entered Jaiswal’s hands directly. After a few overs, Akash Deep made another blow. He continued to round the wicket and managed to get one past Shadman’s inside edge and strike him in the pad.
The massive LBW appeal was rejected by the on-field umpire because it appeared as though the ball would have, at most, grazed leg stump. When India decided to review, the projection revealed that the ball had struck a sizable portion of the leg stump, shocking everyone. With a good attitude, Shanto hit a couple streaky boundaries in the first part of the batting inning. Mominul too got off to a hesitant start but gained confidence with the innings. He drove Bumrah into the covers after picking up fours from Siraj and Akash Deep via the ramp.
It began to shower during the last over before lunch, which caused the second session to start fifteen minutes later than expected. As soon as play started up again, R Ashwin had Shanto caught for thirty-one runs after beating his inside edge with a single arm stroke from around the wicket. The third wicket partnership of 51 runs was broken by it. After that, Mominul and Mushfiqur Rahim experienced some nervous times.
Mushfiqur’s outside edge was caught by Akash Deep, but it went for four through the opening between the gully and third slip. After three overs, Mominul attempted to complete a delivery from Bumrah, but he was unable to get it past the cordon for an additional boundary. That was also the final over to be played before it got too dark to play. It soon began to pour, and just before 3 p.m. local time, the umpires had to call off play.
