A wet outfield due to overnight rain has delayed the start of play on day three of the second Test between India and Bangladesh at the Green Park Stadium on Sunday.

Bangladesh are scheduled to resume their first innings from 107 for 3, which they managed on the rain-hit opening day. The umpires will inspect the conditions at 10:00am.

The entire second day was washed out without a ball being bowled, and only 35 overs were bowled on the opening day. India pacer Akash Deep (2/34) and Ravichandran Ashwin (1/22) were among the wickets.

On Friday also, the start of the match was delayed by an hour due to a wet outfield. India are leading the two-match series 1-0, having won the Chennai Test by 280 runs.
