Galle, Sri Lanka, Nov 18: Captain Mahela Jayawardene fell nine runs short of a century as Sri Lanka was bowled out for 247 and a first—innings lead of 26 over New Zealand on the second day of the first Test on Sunday.




Spin bowler Rangana Herath struck early in New Zealand's second innings, dismissing Brendon McCullum for 13. The visitors closed the day at 35—1 with a 9—run second—innings lead.
