Persistent rain prevented any play after the first hour at the SSC, where heavens opened up shortly in the morning session. The visitors had faced a mere 15 overs when weathergods destroyed any chances of play post lunch.
Cheteshwar Pujara (19) and skipper Virat Kohli (14) were the unbeaten batsmen for India when play was called off after a couple of inspections on a soggy ground, which had puddles ow ing to the showers. For the remaining four days, weather-permitting, play will start at 9.45 am and go on till 5.15 pm to make up the overs lost.
Brief Scores: India: 50 for 2(C Pujara 19no, V Kohli14no; D Prasad 1/16, N Pradeep 1/16)
