It was already known that rain would hamper the Kanpur Test. As a result, the toss was not held. Due to rain at the beginning of the day, the game started but the rain hit again before the lunch break. After a few overs, Kanpur's sky was covered in clouds. Due to this, the umpires were forced to stop the game.
As of writing this report, Bangladesh has lost 3 wickets in 35 overs and collected 107 runs. Mominul Haque is batting for 40 runs and Mushfiqur is batting for 6 runs.
On Friday (September 27), after losing the toss and batting, the two Tiger openers Shadman Islam and Zakir Hasan started playing carefully from the start. But even though Shadman scored 20 runs, Zakir could not score runs in 24 balls. The left-handed batsman was caught out by Akash Deep in the ninth over.
On this day, Mominul Haque came to bat to accompany Shadman. But Shadman could not increase the innings. Akash trapped this opener leg before in the 13th over. He scored 24 runs. Bangladesh lost 2 wickets for the team's 33 runs.
Shanto took the reins of the Tigers along with the experienced Mominul. Bangladesh turned around with the controlled batting of the two. But after the lunch break, Shanto returned to the dressing room. He was trapped leg before by Ashwin after scoring 31 runs.
Another experienced batsman Mushfiqur Rahim accompanied Mominul for the fifth wicket. Bangladesh crossed the quota of 100 runs with the bat of both.
Earlier, India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl first in the second Test against Bangladesh in Kanpur. Rohit named an unchanged team while Bangladesh made two alterations.

BCB canceled tender of Sheikh Hasina Stadium
Former Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hassan Papon's dream project was the Sheikh Hasina International Cricket Stadium in Purbachal.
However, due to the change in political reality, Papon lost the post of BCB president. Along with this, the tender of Sheikh Hasina Stadium has been canceled.
New BCB president Faruque Ahmed confirmed this information at a press conference in Mirpur on Thursday (August 29). He said, today (Friday) was the last date for the bidding process of the stadium. We canceled it.
2031 World Cup will be held in Bangladesh. BCB has also committed to ICC to expand the stadium for this tournament. In addition, the field is now essential. In this situation, there will be no more field? Faruque Ahmed was asked about this.
In reply, he said, if our situation improves, we will reconsider and see if anything can be done.
BCB has already spent a lot of money to make the stadium in Purbachal. This money has been spent on other works including design. The BCB president was asked whether it is possible to bring them back now.
He said, we are going to see how much money will be spent on the field, we are trying to get the money as much as the money has been spent, we are trying (to minimize the damage).
Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2
After persistent rain washed out the opening day of the second Test, Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bowl first when the toss was finally held on Day 2.
Bangladesh leads the two-match series 1-0 after it notched a historic 10-wicket win at the same venue last week when Pakistan was bowled out for an embarrassing 146 in the second innings on the fifth and final day.
Players and team officials stayed in the hotel and umpires called off the play at 12:05 p.m. local time with rain still pouring down and leaving the outfield submerged.
Both teams are in the bottom half of the World Test Championship standings with Bangladesh at No. 7 and Pakistan at No. 8, just above last-place West Indies.
An embattled Pakistan, which has lost four test matches in a row since Shan Masood was elevated as captain last year, hasn’t won a home test since it beat South Africa in December 2021. The remaining four test matches against New Zealand and Australia were drawn.
Pakistan dropped rusty fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi and named another left-armer Mir Hamza along with leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed in its 12-man squad.
Afridi, who was playing his first test in eight months, was ineffective and had to wait until Pakistan took the third new ball to claim 2-88 as Bangladesh replied to Pakistan’s 448-6 declared with a strong total of 565.
Abrar was surprisingly released from the first test squad and was asked to play in a four-day game against Bangladesh ‘A’ in Islamabad and Pakistan’s ploy to go with an all-out pace attack in a home test match after 28 years backfired.
In contrast left-arm spinner Shakib Al Hasan and off-spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz took seven wickets in between them on a dramatic fifth day to skittle out Pakistan for its lowest-ever total against Bangladesh in 14 test matches.
Bangladesh batters, led by Mushfiqur Rahim’s resilient 191, were also among the runs with Shadman Islam, Mominul Haque, Litton Das and Mehidy all scoring meaningful half centuries.

Luis Suarez, Barca Legend Announces International Retirement
Luis Suarez has officially retired from International Football. The former Barcelona star made the revelation during a press conference, marking the end of a remarkable career with the Uruguayan national team.
Suarez was once called the superstar of Uruguayan football. His job was to bring victory to the team in times of danger. However, he could not give his best in the last Copa America. Most of the time had to sit on the bench. There is no chance of playing the 2026 World Cup. So this star footballer said goodbye to international football.
Next Friday (September 6), Suarez will be seen for the last time in the Uruguayan jersey. Suarez chapter of Uruguayan football will end with the 2026 World Cup qualifying match against Paraguay on this day. The 37-year-old forward confirmed this information in a press conference on Monday (September 2).
Suarez has been a key figure for Uruguay since his debut in 2007, earning 142 caps and scoring 69 goals—making him the nation’s all-time top scorer.
He played in four World Cups (2010, 2014, 2018, 2022) and helped Uruguay win the 2011 Copa America, cementing his status as one of the country’s greatest-ever players.
"Friday will be my last match with my country's national team," an emotional Suarez told a press conference (h/t Reuters).
"The fact that is my decision to retire and that I’m not retired because of injuries or that they stop calling me for one thing or another, gives me a lot of comfort, it helps me individually," Suarez said.
"It's difficult but it gives me peace of mind that until the last game, I have given my all, and that flame has not been extinguished little by little," the striker added.
Regarded as one of the best South American footballers in the 21st century, Suarez has a lasting legacy at Barcelona as well.
During his six-year spell in Catalonia, the Uruguayan had netted almost 200 goals in just 283 competitive matches. He was also a part of the revered attacking trio that was known as 'MSN', alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar.
Suarez last played for Inter Miami in the US Major Soccer League. He moved to the United States earlier this year to play with his friend Messi.
