| Shaheen gets 3as the Sri lanka Galle test |
On his return to the Test field, Pakistani fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi notched 100 wickets and struck three times to frighten Sri Lanka during Sunday's opening game's rain-delayed morning session.
After deciding to bat first at the outset of the two-match series at the seaside Galle stadium, Sri Lanka was in danger at 65-4 at lunch.
At the break, senior batsmen Dhananjaya de Silva and Angelo Mathews were both on seven runs.
Following a nearly 90-minute rain stoppage, organizers changed the timings for the three sessions, moving lunch back by an hour.
When Shaheen, a left-arm fast playing in his 26th Test, returned from injury, he sent back, he went from 99 to a century of wickets. Catching Nishan Madushka
When Shaheen, a left-arm fast playing his 26th Test, returned from injury and sent back Nishan Madushka caught behind for four in his second over, he went from 99 to a century of wickets.
The 23-year-old Pakistani sensation had a knee injury in the same location last year.
The play was shortly halted in Galle by the arrival of rain, but Shaheen quickly picked up another wicket when play resumed when he had Kusal Mendis out for 12.
Before Shaheen bowled him out for 29 for being caught behind while attempting a peek down the leg side, captain Dimuth Karunaratne responded with a few boundaries.
As skipper Babar Azam executed a difficult catch, fast bowler Naseem Shah soon joined forces to dismiss Dinesh Chandimal for one with a short delivery.
As skipper Babar Azam made a difficult catch at third slip, fast bowler Naseem Shah quickly teamed up to get Dinesh Chandimal out for one.
"One of many landmarks"
Wasim Akram, a former men's team captain, praised Afridi for getting his 100th Test wicket and called it "one of the many milestones to come."
