Hasan Ali resumes bowling after head injury scare against Bangladesh

ISLAMABAD — 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. — (Reuters)
