JAMMU: The second day's play in the
Ranji Trophy quarterfinal match between
Karnataka and Jammu & Kashmir was called off without a ball being bowled because of wet ground conditions on Friday.
Despite the sun shining brightly on Friday, water seepage under the covers after last night's downpour left wet patches near the run-up area at one end.
The on-field umpires conducted as many as five inspections before eventually calling off the day's proceedings.
Karnataka were wobbling at 14 for 2 at stumps after only six overs were possible due to bad light on the opening day on Thursday.
Play started after tea and only six overs were possible on the opening day during which Karnataka struggled against Jammu & Kashmir new ball pair of
Aquib Nabi
(1/6) and Mujtaba Yousuf (1/5).
Karnataka lost both their openers --
Ravikumar Samarth (5) and
Devdutt Padikkal
(2).
At the close of play, skipper Karun Nair was batting on four in the company of Krishnamurthy Siddharth, who is yet to open his account.
