Pakistan fast-bowler Hasan Ali had to be stretchered off the field after sustaining a blow to his head on the first day of the second Test between Bangladesh and Pakistan in Sylhet.

The incident occurred in the eighth over when Ali dived to his right attempting a return catch off Tanzid Hasan Tamim. He landed awkwardly and sustained an impact to the right side of his head. Ali looked visibly dizzy as he received medical attention, before being helped onto a stretcher and taken off the field. Salman Agha completed the over.

Pakistan's worries were short-lived, however, as Ali returned to the field at the start of the 16th over and resumed bowling in the 19th over.
