Galle, Aug 15: Off-spinner Akila Dananjaya weaved his magic around the New Zealand batting order as the visitors managed to reach 203/5 in 68 overs against Sri Lanka on the rain-hit opening day of the first Test here on Wednesday, even as Ross Taylor rescued his side with a valiant unbeaten 86.

Akila starred with the ball for the hosts, as he accounted for all the five wickets to fall on the day, conceding 57 runs on a tricky wicket.
