Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir returned with a wonderful bowling performance in his second match for Gloucestershire in County Championship after going wicketless in the debut game.

The 30-year-old bagged six wickets against Hampshire at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton. The left-arm quick took 3/57 in 26 overs in the first innings, followed by 3/33 in the second innings.

Remember, Amir returned to red-ball cricket after a gap of three years and was drafted into the Gloucestershire's side for three matches after a young Pakistan pacer sustained a shoulder injury and was ruled out.

On the other hand, medium pacer Mohammad Abbas took six wickets for 45 runs for Hampshire in the same game. In second innings, he has claimed a wicket and will bowl again today on the final day as Gloucestershire are chasing target of 368. They are currently 111/2.
