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


May 16 (Reuters) - ⁠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.
