Impressed with Bashir's bowling despite bowling only seven overs, says Hussain

Former England captain Nasser Hussain was impressed with high-quality bowling from off-spinner Shoaib Bashir on day two of the Lord’s Test against Sri Lanka. Bashir scalped Prabath Jayasuriya giving away only 21 runs. Hussain added, “People will say that he was bowling at Sri Lanka’s tail, but he wasn’t. He was bowling at Kamindu Mendis, a player who grew up playing against lots of spin and someone with multiple hundreds in Test cricket in Bangladesh.”
