As Hampshire started their second innings with a lead of 163, Amir dismissed Felix Organ for a duck off the second ball of the innings as the right hander nibbled at a rising ball outside off stump and was caught at second slip.

Amir then removed nightwatchmen Kyle Abbott and Mohammad Abbas with successive balls, a sequence which included a lethal in-swinging yorker to get rid of his countryman Abbas and leave Gloucestershire reeling on 15-4.

The ex-Pakistan international returned to first-class cricket last week after a three-year exile, signing a three-match deal for Gloucestershire as an injury replacement for Naseem Shah.
