innings.<br \/>Harry Tector (34) and James McCollum (35) put together a 70-run partnership before left-arm orthodox spinner Jayasuriya wreaked havoc with a double wicket maiden, claiming the scalps of Tector and Curtis Campher.<br \/>In his next over, Jayasuriya cleaned up top scorer McCollum with a peach of a delivery that pitched on middle stump, spun past the bat and clipped top of off-stump.<br \/>Jayasuriya next had <!-- -->Peter Moor<!-- --> caught behind and completed his fifth five-wicket haul when George Dockrell was trapped leg before wicket.<br \/>Earlier, wicketkeeper-batsman Samarawickrama celebrated his return to Test cricket with a maiden hundred after last featuring in a Test in 2017.<br \/>His 104 not out was the first time a Sri Lankan wicketkeeper has made a century in Test-match cricket in seven years, the previous being Kusal Perera in 2016.<br \/>Chandimal was unbeaten alongside him on 102 at the declaration, posting his 14th Test ton against tired Irish bowlers who toiled in hot conditions.<br \/>The pair added an unbroken 183 runs for the seventh wicket, after skipper Dimuth Karunaratne (179) and Kusal Mendis (140) posted centuries earlier in the innings.<br \/>Chandimal, 18 overnight, was the first to reach three figures with an elegant punch for four through extra cover.<br \/>The 27-year-old Samarawickrama joined him in the next over, his 104 the highest score by a Sri Lankan number eight.<br \/>The match is the first-ever Test between Sri Lanka and Ireland, who have lost all four of their previous Tests, including against Bangladesh this month.<\/div>\n<p><script>if(typeof window !== 'undefined') {\n    window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || {};\n    const { TimesApps } = window;\n    TimesApps.loadScriptsOnceAdsReady = () => {\n
