Bad light stopped play on day one of the second Test between India and Bangladesh with the visitors on 107-3 in the northern Indian city of Kanpur on Friday.
Mominul Haque, on 40, and Mushfiqur Rahim, on six, were batting when dark clouds made visibility tough and umpires took the players off the ground in the second session.
India, who lead the two-match series 1-0, elected to field in overcast conditions and fast bowler Akash Deep backed captain Rohit Sharma's decision with two wickets in the first hour of play.
Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto, who made 31, put on 51 runs with Mominul to play out the remainder of the first session.
But first-match hero Ravichandran Ashwin removed the captain after lunch.
