Former West Indies pacer Ian Bishop is happy to see Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali playing Test cricket once again.

Ali was the pick of the Pakistan bowlers during the first innings of the ongoing second Test, bagging figures of 5/54, as the Proteas were dismissed for 201. Pakistan posted 272 in their first innings.

 

Great to see Hasan Ali fit and back playing Test cricket for Pakistan.

Elgar was caught by wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan off the bowling of Hasan Ali, and the very next delivery Rassie van der Dussen was deceived by a ball that kept low and clattered into his stumps.

In the morning session on day three, Ali also removed George Linde for 21 runs. Straight after lunch, he also cleaned up Keshav Maharaj for one run. Hasan Ali then bowled tailender Anrich Nortje (0) to bag a five-wicket haul.
