Jammu, Fab 21: The second day’s play in the Ranji Trophy quarterfinal match between Karnataka and Jammu & Kashmir was called off without a ball being bowled because of wet ground conditions here on Friday.
Despite the sun shinning brightly on Friday, water seepage under the covers after last night’s downpour left wet patches near the run-up area at one end.
The on-field umpires conducted as many as five inspections before eventually calling off the day’s proceedings.
Karnataka were wobbling at 14 for 2 at stumps after only six overs were possible due to bad light on the opening day on Thursday.

At the close of play, skipper Karun Nair was batting on four in the company of Krishnamurthy Siddharth, who is yet to open his account.
