Sri Lanka might well be at the driver’s seat after stumps on Day 3 as far as the match situation of the ongoing first Test at Galle is concerned, but Pakistan leg-spinner Yasir Shah was discussed almost the entire day for a particular delivery.
On the first delivery of the 56th Over of Sri Lanka’s second innings, Shah pitched the ball outside the leg-stump, managed to purchase significant turn off the pitch as the ball finally ended up hitting the top of off-stump, with a well-set, yet clueless Kusal Mendis (76) getting completely squared-up and watching the jaw-dropping sight.

Fans across the world couldn’t help but term it the ‘ball of the century’ already, with majority of them comparing it with the one that the legendary Shane Warne had bowled to Mike Gatting in the year 1993.
Yasir Shah, who is making a return back to Test Cricket after a year, has managed to scalp three Sri Lankan wickets in the innings so far, with the home side clearly on the driver’s seat at the moment, with a 333-run lead, on a pitch which has assisted the spinners significantly so far.
