Colombo: New Zealand six wickets after being set a 494-run victory target by Sri Lanka on the fourth day of the second Test on Saturday.

Mahela Jayawardene (96) gave solid support during an authoritative 173-run partnership that quashed any remote hopes of New Zealand fighting their way back into the contest.
Jayawardene followed his first-innings 92 with a fluent 96 from 153 balls, an innings that included five boundaries and a six.
The right-hander missed a 27th Test century, and a possible world record 10 hundreds at a single venue, when he edged an Iain O'Brien delivery to slip after New Zealand took the second new ball.
Off spinner Jeetan Patel was the only wicket-taker of the morning, as Sangakkara edged to Taylor at slip while attempting an extravagant lofted drive.
