Bangladesh cricket team fast bowler Hasan Mahmud was involved in a bizarre incident during Day 2 of the first Test match against South Africa in Dhaka on Tuesday.

During the 69th over of the South Africa innings, Dane Piedt slammed a low full-toss directly back to Mahmud who deflected it off his right hand onto the stumps.

While Kyle Verreynne was safe on the non-striker's end, Piedt decided to go for a risky run before realising his mistake and turning back midway.

Mahmud went for the direct hit on the batter's end but ended up hitting Piedt with his throw to leave the Bangladesh fielders disappointed.

Glenn Phillips and Will O'Rourke tried to steal a couple of runs after the former hit Jadeja's short-pitched delivery towards deep cover. While it seemed that Phillips and O'Rourke would settle for a single, Washington Sundar was a bit late to react.
