1st Test: Rain washes out second session at Bengaluru

Bengaluru, Oct 16: Rain of varying intensity washed out the second session of the opening Test between India and New Zealand here on Wednesday.

The umpires and other match officials did inspect the ground around 2 PM, as rains relented a bit for the first time on the day.

The outfield covers and the first layer of cover over the pitch was removed for inspection as the crowd loudly cheered.

Earlier, even the toss, which was scheduled at 9 AM, could not take place as rain came down relentlessly over the city from morning.

There was a smattering of spectators at the stadium despite the inclement weather.

But the only moment of excitement for them was the sighting of star batter Virat Kohli and opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who went for an indoor net session along with assistant coach Abhishek Nayar. (PTI)
