Here is a look at all you need to know about the India vs Bangladesh Kanpur Test
India vs Bangladesh Kanpur pitch report
Unlike the red soil strip in Chennai, the second Test in Kanpur will be played on a traditional black soil surface that will stay slow and low. The Green Park has typically nurtured black soil pitches, where the bounce is low and the clay, when watered, tends to hold the surface together for long and batsmen usually have a good outing.
