By Saurabh Sharma August 15, 2019 • 23:17 PM View: 1521

Galle, Aug 15: Left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel (5/76) rattled the Sri Lankan batting line-up even as Angelo Mathews and Kusal Mendis chipped in with useful half-centuries to help the hosts reach 227/7 at the close of play on Day 2 of the first Test against New Zealand at the Galle International Stadium on Thursday.

Sri Lanka are still 22 runs behind in the first innings with the New Zealand innings folding at 249 earlier in the day.
