On the third day, there was no rainfall, but the ground remained damp from the heavy rain on Saturday and a late-night shower. These conditions made it uncomfortable for the match to proceed. The Hindustan Times reported that inspectors conducted multiple field inspections at 10 am, 12 pm, and 2 pm before ultimately deciding to abandon play without a single ball being bowled at Kanpur on Day 3. While there are still two days left for the Test, the likelihood of a result has decreased.
