Trying to force a result in the limited time available, India played a sensational T20-style cricket to take a 52-run firstinnings lead against Bangladesh in the second Test, infusing life into the rainhit contest here on Monday.
The sun shone bright in the Kanpur sky after two gloomy days and the on-field action finally began after losing eight sessions.
India had six sessions to force a win, and the hosts did everything they could on the fourth day of the match.
The pitch hardly offered assistance to India bowlers but the hosts still bundled out Bangladesh for 233 in their first innings, built around Mominul Haque's patient unbeaten 107.
