Rain washes out third day’s play

Published October 28, 2008

DHAKA, Oct 27: Wet conditions forced the umpires to call off play on the third day of the second Test between Bangladesh and New Zealand here on Monday.

The first two days were also washed out due to rain and bad weather. With only two days remaining in the match, Bangladesh have lost all realistic hopes of squaring the two-match series. They lost the first Test by three wickets at Chittagong last week.

Some sunshine following overnight heavy rain had raised hopes of action later in the day but conditions proved unsuitable.—AFP
