Incessant rain has washed out the last two sessions of Friday's second day of the first Test in Kolkata, with India reeling at 5-74 against Sri Lanka.
Only 21 overs were bowled in the morning session, with Cheteshwar Pujara posting an unbeaten 47. Rain stopped play about a half-hour before lunch.
The rain didn't clear and worsened near the scheduled tea break, when match officials elected to call off play for the remainder of the day.
Only 11.5 overs were bowled on day one.
India resumed on Friday at 3-17 and added 57 runs, but Dasun Shanaka snared two wickets for the Sri Lankans before rain forced the players off.
Pujara's watchful 102-ball innings has contained nine boundaries. He is batting with Wriddhiman Saha who is six not out.
Shanaka (2-23) struck in the sixth over the morning when he had Ajinkya Rahane (4) caught behind.
Ravichandran Ashwin (4) went in at No.6 and shared a 20-run partnership with Pujara before he was caught at point off Shanaka.
Pujara then dropped anchor and played the swinging ball with great care. Early in the session, he negotiated Suranga Lakmal.
Lakmal finally conceded a run after 47 deliveries into his opening spell, the longest streak in Test cricket since 2002. His 11 overs have netted 3-5 and contained nine maidens.
