A saturated outfield has prevented play starting on day three of the second test between the BLACKCAPS and Bangladesh in Dhaka.
Umpires Daryl Harper and Asoka de Silva inspected the ground two hours after the scheduled start time and ordered the covers protecting the pitch be removed.
However, they deemed the sodden outfield would take too long to become fit for play and abandoned the day.
Play is scheduled to start at 4pm New Zealand time on Tuesday.
