Bangalore: The incessant rain washed out the another entire day's play at the second Test between India and South Africa in Bangalore Monday.
More rain forecast that could see the match end in a draw.
The scheduled start was initially delayed by a session as constant rain since early morning left the outfield too wet for play at the Chinnaswamy stadium.
The umpires were due to walk out and play was finally called off at 11:30am local time (0600 GMT).
After two entire days washed out without a ball bowled. Another early start, at 9.15 am for tomorrow but that is with weather permitting. And the forecast doesn't look good again: drizzle from start to stumps.
On the rain-free first day, South Africa were shot out for 214 after being sent in to bat in overcast conditions and India replied with 80 for no loss by stumps.
India lead the four-match series after securing a 108-run win in the first Test in Mohali last week.
The third Test is to be played in Nagpur from November 25.
