Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali bowled well in the ongoing first Test versus Bangladesh, claiming a fifer in the first innings. Hasan, who had got Shadman Islam’s wicket on Day 1, picked up four more today.
Pace bowler Hasan Ali led Pakistan earlier with the ball, finishing with 5-51, his sixth five-wicket, which kept Bangladesh in check after the hosts resumed with 253-4 in the morning. Ali’s spell was complemented by Faheem Ashraf’s 3-54 and Shaheen Afridi’s 2-70.

Hasan Ali has made this record in 2021.
Highlights
- Hasan Ali equals the record of compatriots Imran Khan and Waqar Younis
- Pacer Hasan Ali won the 5-wicket haul in Test cricket for the 5th time in the year 2021.
- Hasan Ali’s performance in T20 World Cup 2021 was nothing special
Pakistan fast bowler Hasan Ali has made a spectacular comeback in Test cricket. Two weeks ago, Hasan Ali was being abused in Pakistan for dropping the valuable catch of Matthew Wade against Australia in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2021. But the pacer made a comeback in the first innings of the first Test against Bangladesh by taking 5 wickets.
Pakistan made a strong reply and reached 145 for no loss . Openers Abid Ali and debutant Abdullah Shafique played out the second and third sessions comfortably in a good batting track to cut the deficit to 185 runs. Abid, who reached the 1,000-run mark in his 15th test, closed in on his fourth century, remaining unbeaten on 93 at stumps, owing to bad light. Shafique overcame a nervy start to finish the day on 52 not out.
