Rain washes out day two in Duleep Trophy

Rain washed out play on day two of the match between India Green and India Blue in the Duleep Trophy here. Rain started before the start of day and continued till evening, forcing the umpires to call off play without a single being bowled in the final round-robin fixture of the tournament.

Rain had also played spoilsport in the match between India Blue and India Red last week with the game ending in a drab draw.

The opening day was a good one for India Green who dismissed the Blue team for a paltry 177 before finishing the day at 100 for three.
