Testing Financial News

New Zealand is facing the prospect of their heaviest defeat in Test cricket after being forced to follow on in the second Test against Sri Lanka in Galle. Following a disastrous morning session where Sri Lanka claimed eight wickets, the tourists were asked to bat again, trailing by a massive 514 runs. Sri Lankan left-arm spinner Prabath Jayasuriya was the star of the first innings, taking 6 wickets for just 42 runs, while debutant off-spinner Nishan Peiris also contributed, taking three wickets and dismissing New Zealand opener Tom Latham in the second innings. New Zealand now faces the daunting task of chasing an improbable 511 runs on a turning Galle pitch to avoid an innings defeat. They had already lost the first Test by 63 runs, and a loss in this match would give Sri Lanka their first series win over New Zealand since 2009.

New Zealand batter Kane Williamson was set up by Sri Lanka Spinner Prabaht Jayasuriya in the second Test at Galle. The Kiwi batter could only managed seven runs in 53 balls as his team was bowled out cheaply for just 88 runs, trailing by 514 runs in the first innings. Williamson was dismissed in the 17th over when he tried to steady the ship for the visitors along with night watchman Ajaz Patel. Jayasuriya, however, gave the hosts their first wicket on Day 3.
