New Zealand win first test against Sri Lanka


CRICKET: New Zealand have won the first test in Colombo beating Sri Lanka by one hundred and sixty seven runs to take a one - nil lead in the series.

Correspondents say Sri Lanka had seemed on the road to recovery before lunch on the final day but lost six wickets for just over eighty runs in a dramatic session after the break.
