In the English County Championship Division One 2022 match between Lancashire and Gloucestershire, the latter won the toss and opted to bat first. Both the Gloucestershire openers (Marcus Harris (67) and Chris Dent (52)) smashed half-centuries to get their team off to a good start.

It was then Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali, playing for Lancashire, produced a brilliant spell that demolished the batting team and played a pivotal role in restricting Gloucestershire to 252/10.

The seamer ended up with magnificent figures of 6/47 in 17 overs. The 8-times county champions, Lancashire, on the back of a spectacular double century by Josh Bannon (231) and a fine century by Dane Vilas (109) posted a mammoth total of 556/7. 

In the second inning, Hasan Ali continued his brilliance with the ball. The 28-year-old pacer bowled a sizzling yorker that shattered the middle stump into two pieces, leaving Gloucestershire batter James Bracey perplexed.

The incident occurred in the 25th over, and Lancashire uploaded a video of it on social media. 

With 3 wickets to his name, Hasan Ali ended up taking 9 wickets in the match, driving his team to an innings and 57-run victory over Gloucestershire.
