Sri Lanka spinner Akila Dananjaya claimed five wickets to put New Zealand (NZ) on the back foot despite Ross Taylor's unbeaten half-century in the first Test in Galle today.

Dananjaya, bowling with a remodelled action after being reported for a suspect action last year, trapped BJ Watling for one at the stroke of tea to register his fourth five-wicket haul in six matches.

New Zealand were 179 for five, having recovered from 71-3 at lunch as Taylor and Henry Nicholls put on 100 runs to lead the tourists' fightback. Pix by Kushan Pathiraja
