Play on the final day of the second cricket Test between India and England was delayed here by fog and bad light Tuesday. The fog was so thick that the pitch was hardly visible from the boundary ropes.
Fog and bad light has cut playing time on the third and fourth mornings of this Test as well. On Tuesday, even the players did not come out to the ground to warm up, as the match appears destined for a draw.
Play was scheduled to start at 9 a.m. but an hour after that, umpires Asad Rauf and Daryl Harper were still assessing the situation.
At the end of the fourth day's play here at Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) stadium, India were 134 runs for the loss of four wickets after 50 overs in the second innings, with an overall lead of 285 runs over England.

I had dhoni in my highest esteem for his aggrssivness.But the way he conducted the 2nd test at Mohali,leaves a disappointing note.Negative,negative all the way from day 1.Inspite of a sizeable lead of 150 plus in the 1st innings,he played safe by not forcing the opposition with an imposing total notwithstanding the fact of considerable time lost due to dew. As usual senior batsmen let down Dhoni by their reluctance to score during their stay at the cresae.I pity the spectators of Monali,who had to endure arun rate of 2 plus by the indians.Indeed not a very good advertisement for test cricket.
