Lakmal takes four as Sri Lanka skittle New Zealand for 249

Seamer Suranga Lakmal took four wickets as Sri Lanka bowled out New Zealand for 249 on day two of the first Test in Galle on Thursday. Resuming from their overnight score of 203 for five, the tourists lost their last five wickets for 46 runs as Lakmal dominated. Ross Taylor was dismissed for 86 on his first delivery of the day as he attempted a casual cut shot to a harmless Lakmal delivery and was caught behind. Mitchell Santner then shouldered arms to a Lakmal ball that nipped back and was trapped leg before wicket for 13.
