Rain again washes out day's play at Duleep Trophy

Press Trust of India  |  Kanpur 

For the second consecutive day, rain washed out the play between Green and Blue in the Duleep Trophy here today.

Just like yesterday, the third day's play of the four-day match was also washed out because of rain.


On the opening day of the final round robin fixture of the tournament, Green, who dismissed the Blue team for a paltry 177, had reached 100 for three at stumps.

Parvez Rasool was the star for Green with five wickets for 70 runs in 17 overs.

Senior speedster Ishant Sharma, playing a first- class match after six months, bowled a steady line, taking one for 15 in seven overs.

The match is headed for a tame draw as Green still trail Blue by 77 runs with seven wickets in hand.
