Pakistan's Hasan Ali resumes bowling after head injury scare against Bangladesh

  • Ali ‌landed awkwardly ​while ‌attempting ⁠a ​return catch ⁠in the eighth over, diving to his right off Tamim’s shot
  • He clutched ⁠his head and ‌appeared ‌dazed as medical ​staff ‌attended to him before ‌he was taken off the field

Pakistan ‌fast bowler Hasan Ali was stretchered off ​after suffering a blow to the head on day one of the second test against Bangladesh in Sylhet ‌on Saturday.

Ali ‌landed awkwardly ​while ‌attempting ⁠a ​return catch ⁠in the eighth over, diving to his right off Tanzid Hasan Tamim’s shot.

He clutched ⁠his head and ‌appeared ‌dazed as medical ​staff ‌attended to him before ‌he was taken off the field.

The 31-year-old returned in the 16th ‌over, with the move appearing precautionary, and ⁠resumed ⁠bowling before the end of the morning session.

Bangladesh, who lead the two-match series 1-0, reached 101 for three at lunch after electing to bat.
