WELLINGTON: Torrential rain washed out the entire day's first play of the second test between New Zealand and Bangladesh at the Basin Reserve on Friday.
After two months of mainly settled weather in New Zealand's capital, heavy rain began falling early on Friday and ending any hopes of the game beginning on time at 11 a.m. .Umpires Paul Reiffel and Ruchira Palliyarugue had a pitch inspection at 3.p.m and with deep puddles still on the outfield abandoned the day's play without a ball being bowled.
While play has been scheduled to start 30 minutes earlier on Saturday to try and make up some of the overs lost on Friday, rain is still forecast until at least 12 p.m. with showers expected for the rest of the day. Play is also likely to be disrupted on Sunday as well with showers forecast and not expected to clear until the scheduled fourth day's play on Monday.
