Kanpur weather forecast Day 4:

According to Accuweather, there is only a 3% chance of rain throughout the day and the average temperature should hover around 33 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, conditions on day five may be even better with just a 1% chance of rain and a forecast average temperature of around 35 degrees Celsius.

India vs Bangladesh summary so far:

Only 35 overs were played on the first day of the Test match, and both teams looked evenly matched, with the hosts holding a slight edge.

The day began brightly for India as pacer Akash Deep took the crucial wickets of Zakhir Hasan (0) and Shadman Islam (24 off 36 balls) to reduce the visitors to 29/2. However, a valiant 51-run partnership between skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mominul Haque helped Bangladesh get back into the game. The partnership was eventually broken by Ravichandran Ashwin, who used his experience to remove Shanto for 31.

As things stand, Mominul Haque (40) and Mushfiqur Rahim (6) will take on the challenge of guiding their team to a comfortable total when play resumes in Kanpur.
