Sri Lanka leads

MAHELA Jayawardene cracked an impressive 91 to lead Sri Lanka's fightback on an absorbing second day of the opening cricket Test against New Zealand in Galle yesterday. Sri Lanka was in deep trouble at 50-5 following fast bowler Tim Southee's three-wicket burst in the morning before posting 247 in its first innings in reply to New Zealand's 221. The tourists reached 35-1 in their second innings at stumps after losing opener Brendon McCullum. The match is evenly poised at this stage, with New Zealand nine runs ahead with as many wickets in hand. Skipper Jayawardene and vice-captain Angelo Mathews (79) earlier propped up the innings with a 156-run stand for the sixth wicket.
