On the opening day of the second Test in Sylhet, Pakistan's fast bowler Hasan Ali sustained a significant head injury. The incident occurred in the eighth over as he attempted a return catch, resulting in him falling awkwardly and hitting his head. Medical personnel quickly attended to him on the field.
After assessment, Hasan Ali was carried off on a stretcher, prompting his captain to complete the over. However, his absence from the match proved temporary. He successfully returned to the field in the 16th over and resumed bowling in the 19th over.
Before the injury scare, Pakistan's seam attack had a strong start, capitalizing on favorable bowling conditions after winning the toss. Key wickets fell early, including Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Tanzid Hasan Tamim, both dismissed by Mohammad Abbas. Mir Hamza Shahzad also contributed with a wicket.
At lunch, Bangladesh's experienced batsmen, Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim, were focused on rebuilding the innings on a pitch that continued to assist seamers while rewarding patient batting.
