WATCH: Hassan Ali Breaks Middle Stump Into Two Halves With A Bullet Yorker
The English country season has begun and many star International cricketers have also taken part in the season to up their game, especially in the longer format. Pakistan's fast bowler Hassan Ali has also taken part in the county championship, playing for Lancashire.
In his county debut, Hassan shared the ball with England great James Anderson and ended up picking 6/47 in the first inning against Gloucestershire.
He continued his good rhythm in the next inning and displayed what he brings to the table while playing for any team. In the 25th over of the inning, Gloucestershire was at the score of 61/2, trailing 304 runs.
Gloucestershire wicketkeeper-batter James Bracey was looking solid at the score of 14 runs after facing 64 balls. However, Hassan rattled Bracey's defense and shattered the stumps, quite literally.
Hasan Ali bowled a speedy yorker that beat Bracey and crashed onto the middle stump, which got uprooted right from the center. The ball was at such speed that the stumps were broken right from the center and the upper half went flying while the lower half was stuck in the ground.
Ali celebrated the dismissal in his signature style as his Lancashire teammates surrounded him to congratulate him.
