There was some hope of play resuming after the rain subsided briefly, and super soppers were used to soak up the water from the covers. However, with no sunshine and rain returning shortly after, those hopes were dashed, and the umpires called off play at around 2:00 PM local time.
Mominul Haque and Mushfiqur Rahim, unbeaten on 40 and six respectively, are expected to resume their innings on Day 3, as the weather forecast in Kanpur looks more favourable on Sunday.
