Will Rain Interrupt WI Vs BAN 2nd Test, Day 4?

Overcast conditions have been persistent throughout the period of 3 days, and the rain even delayed the start of this Test match on Day 1. However, for Day 4 (Tuesday, December 3), CREX has predicted merely 25% rain chance, and 78% humidity.

Slight overcast conditions can be expected, and if West Indies are looking for a turnaround, they will have to bowl out Bangladesh inside the lead of 220 runs, as anything above 220 will be extremely tricky to chase on this surface that has offered uneven bounce.
